Breakfast: a banana. Partners in D intranet training session. Near the end of the session, our L.A.-area conference callers said, "Earthquake!" and (we presume) left to duck and cover. Since we were all at computers already, within seconds we had the USGS California-Nevada map up looking for data, and I posted data I had found to Twitter. It made me realize that I needed to make the password simpler to the ucsf911 account that I had set up—it had a non-memorizeable password generated by KeePassX so I changed it later to a simpler password. Laptop troubleshooting for student SH. Got an error message while running sfc/scannow in Safe Mode: "Windows File Protection could not initiate a scan of protected system files. The specific error code is 0x000006ba [The RPC server is unavailable.]". Many solutions pointed to Microsoft KB296241, but the No Liability Accepted certificate was present (not missing) and I was using Windows XP—not Windows 2000 as mentioned in KB296241. In Safe Mode, I ran "netsh int ip reset c:\resetlog.txt" which seemed to fix it. Late lunch by myself at Palio: half San Martino sandwich, orzo salad, raspberry button cookie, water. More laptop troubleshooting for SH. Prepped changes to /pharmd/employers/ for live, sent Cindy the review. Dinner at home with Patrick: penne with chicken, shrimp, and sliced red and yellow bell peppers in a light tomato sauce. Dessert: 2 circus animal cookies. Uploaded photos to Flickr. Twitter won't load—I got the whale error message: "...too many tweets!" Stretches. Weight training: advanced one-legged side plank, advanced one-legged plank.
