Woke early. Usual oatmeal breakfast. Signed up with hunch.com, started teaching it about me. It feels kind of Skynet. Continued online sexual harrassment training, which is required every 2 years of all supervisors at UCSF. Began watching Merlin Mann's Inbox Zero presentation video. Web edits related to email after graduation for Devi V and Marie P. Helped student KT with mailbox too full. Reviewed student AP's photos from India. Backed up web data to portable hard disk drive. Potstickers lunch at home with Patrick. Prepped the rebuild of the student directory on the web. Created new bts subsite accounts for cdds and acdrs. Troubleshot broken web disk (webdav) with help from ServInt, found a solution. Continued prepping the rebuild of the student directory on the web. Snack: tortilla chips, mild salsa. Today I found this data on my hard drive in a file called "windows nt stuff that i forget.txt":

To access an IPC$ volume on NT from win 95 or win 98:

  1. on the NT machine, find the drive or folder you want to share, then right-click it and choose Properties.
  2. choose the Sharing tab.
  3. click New Share.
  4. name the share anything (like the name of the drive letter).
  5. click Permissions.
  6. remove Everyone.
  7. add Users.
  8. now try accessing the NT volume from windows 95 or windows 98 and it should work.

Dinner at home with Patrick: grilled salmon, boiled beets, three-seed bread, Smart Balance Light. Watched Slumdog Millionaire (2008) on Netflix DVD with Patrick. Before the film I looked it up on imdb—yes, Slumdog Millionaire was released on DVD only yesterday. How does Netflix do that? Go Netflix!
