Stretches. Weight training: superslow dumbbell fly. Stretches. Usual granola and yogurt breakfast. To work. Facilities took care of door #2 at the IRC—holes patched and painted. Door #1 still needs a hole in the wall patched and painted. Having trouble the past 2 days creating an external archive of our website using HTTrack—I think there is some loop that is causing a problem in which lots of files that shouldn't be downloaded are downloaded. Got it fixed, but don't know exactly how. Redirected a Lexi-Comp support request to Rodney. Sent Rob another example of account coordination problems. Meeting with Susie and Cindy. Sent Cindy's feedback about the ID card process to SCWG. Reminded most students that they need to renew their GALEN accounts. Email account closure question from grad SC. Diversity website followup with Sharon Y and Susie. Reported a cardkey access problem to WeID for student DB. Dick S posted some comments describing the photos I took in his class when he did the 3D stuff, so I copied the comments to the image description field and then deleted the comments. Submitted my computer technology support task force work to Jilian. Small web update for Carol. Discovered through Chandler M a blog by the UCSF School of Medicine. Sent Susie and Eric D more ideas about naming our forthcoming digital asset library. Schedule update for Lucia. Followup with Susie about faculty awards web pages. Redirected student HC to IRTS for projector rental. Began work on the hiring paperwork for the digital asset manager we plan to hire soon. Current students calendar updates for Cindy and Joel. Answered questions from Michelle K about Flickr and copyright (ownership) and personal versus school accounts. Spent 17 minutes on the telephone with an applicant who had trouble with one of our supp app forms, but she downloaded a fresh copy and now it's working fine, so I suspect PDF corruption somehow. Joel gave me some childhood photos of his to scan. Chatted with Susie on the phone about pharm chem wanting to redesign their site. Updated current students calendar and news. Chatted with Thomas G. To home. Dinner at Ono Hawaiian BBQ, shopped for Halloween costume supplies but found a small backpack instead. Home. I happened upon the Flickr group called '"Quotation Mark" Abuse' and within a heartbeat I knew I had to join it despite probably having nothing to contribute yet. Well maybe I might have one or two photos which would apply, but even if I don't—what fun! Just a note: Where Patrick and I have recorded different things for dinner meals at home, he will always be more accurate since he's the chef. Repeatedly received "element not found" error messages while attempting to install drivers for a Brother MFC-845cw multifunction device (printer, scanner, fax) into Vista. No obvious solutions on the web. Finally got it to work installing the full driver and software package. When restarting Vista, a popup balloon said that my password was going to expire in 14 days—weird, since I'm at home—maybe Vista has a default password policy that's more stringent than XP? Also, at home I have the same problem a student reported and which is still unresolved by OAAIS—Windows Security Center incorrectly reports that Sophos is out of date when Sophos appears to correctly be up to date. "please wait while windows configures adobe acrobat 8.1.2" error message appears for about 20 seconds unnecessarily at the weirdest times: launching Acrobat, right-clicking a file in Windows Explorer or on the desktop, etc. Have not found a solution to this yet. Installed iTunes 8.0.1 for Mac. Patrick bought new tires for the car today. Archived documents. Edited photos. Installed Winamp into Vista recently, and today I changed the priority setting in it to high in attempts to prevent occasional sound jitteriness. Turned AutoProtect back on in VMware Fusion. I had previously turned it off because I thought it was a resource hog—we'll see how it goes. Paid a bill. Shopped online for what I needed for Halloween. Archived more documents. Edited more photos. Uploaded photos. Stretches. Weight training: superslow overhead tricep kickback. Stretches. Late meal: chunky soup.
