Usual oatmeal breakfast. Checked in with Rebecca about the location of the CSC meeting on Thursday. OAAIS has been giving only 2 or 3 days of notice about the location, which makes planning the web steering committee meetings difficult since we time them to occur before the CSC meeting. Rebecca says they should be able to give notice of the location at least 2 weeks in advance from now on. Troubleshot a problem with the preview session web form: the message sent to @pharmacy.ucsf.edu addresses fails whereas the same message sent to other e-mail addresses works. Not caught by server-side or client-side spam filtering. Logfiles show the messages are getting sent. I submitted a problem report to OAAIS. Minor cleanup of various web pages. Web steering committee notice. Gave Shane a heads up about redirects. Cardkey installation followup with the other Frank F. Confirmed student codes needed for the ID cards cardkey access. DLS support followup with Quinn and Kurt and Cesar. Room reservation with Kim. Sent the DLS notice to my unit. SCWG: wrote a proposal for identifying people in the GAL. Began edits for the supp app. PHPM course description edits for Carol. More work on the podcasting page. Preview session web form followup with Alex R—the e-mail messages seemed to have sent but did not actually leave the server since our hostname is schoolofpharmacy.ucsf.edu, our domain is pharmacy.ucsf.edu, and our web server is not the same as our mail server. Still trying to find the best solution for this problem, but Alex seems to have isolated the cause. Lots of e-mail followup on different things: blogging, podcasting, DAL, completed photo release forms. The inbox was particularly difficult to keep slim today. Left work with 16 items in the inbox. Lunch at desk: leftovers (mostly worked through lunch). Dinner at home with Patrick: TJ's lasagne, steamed broccoli, dinner roll, Smart Balance Light. Processed and uploaded photos. Dessert: one teaspoon of melon sorbet. Patrick has already begun cooking for next Sunday's party. For the past several days he has been letting bread get stale. I think it's ironic that we buy a large quantity of fresh bread in advance so that he can let it get stale with exactly the right timing so that it's perfect for preparing bread pudding. He also began soaking large bowls of red beans for red beans and rice. This is likely to be our biggest party ever, and we are looking forward to it!
