Usual oatmeal breakfast. The bus took a wrong turn today off its route. I think a new driver was in training. Added 10 minutes to my commute, but otherwise not a big deal. Today I receive a notice from the UCSF support team to which we began outsourcing desktop and lan support warning us that they were planning to install IE7 for all their clients. IE7 was released on October 18, 2006—2 years ago—and they're only now getting around to deploying it? CTS followup—needs. Met with Luis T and Susie L about pharmchem's website. Lunch: leftovers. After reading "Where's my car?" I realized that Richard Crowley is an ubergeek. Learned about OpenDNS, didn't realize people had DNS problems enough to build a separate service just for people to flee to. Email address change followup with Jina S and student SL. Helped student AM with cardkey problems—no codes on the record in the system at all—weird. Mozy followup with Cesar. Faculty teaching awards project followup with Susie and Eric D. Dinner at home with Patrick: leftovers. Watched Heroes Season 1 Episode 20 on Netflix DVD with Patrick. To bed early.
