Usual oatmeal breakfast. Continuing at UCSF followup for grads TT, DS, and WO. Listserv management: ensured that recent grads were added to our graduate jobs mailing list. Chatted with Lisa C about disk quotas, followup with ServInt. Updated projects list with new statuses. Troubleshot cigarette smoke coming through my vent at 9:00 AM and again around 10:30 AM. Oscar came up to sniff but the smell had gone by the time he arrived around 10:00. ServInt replied and set up quotas like I wanted by switching our ftp daemon from proftp to pure-ftp. Followup with grad HB about e-mail and forwarding. Followup with Quinn H about the server folders transition next week. Lunch by myself at Kiki (415-661-5522, 1269-9th Avenue, between Irving Street and Lincoln Way, San Francisco, California, USA 94122). OS X Leopard 10.5.4 hung on me today while I was coding in SSH in Win XP in Fusion 1.1.3. Had to cold restart the Mac—that doesn't happen very often. Cause unknown. Announced Continuing at UCSF to office staff. Lots of web edits: restructured (or combined) 2 sections: Programs for Prospective Students and Information for Prospective Students, linkchecking. Let Joel borrow a movie. Dinner at PDD's with Patrick, psychobauble, Sandip, Phil, Drew, Danny. Phil cooked herbed, foil-wrapped salmon with carrots; cheese ravioli in pesto sauce; tossed mixed salad.
