Installed Apple updates for 2 computers at home. Cardio warmup: 32 minutes. Weight training: superslow kneeling kickback, superslow leg raise. Usual oatmeal breakfast. The UCSF Library website was offline for a bunch of hours this morning—weird. Telecommute day. Followup with student SY about UCSF email folder names appear as question marks or Chinese characters. SSL cert install followup with ServInt. Installed Apple updates at work. Prepared information about the OWA post-logout page. Lunch at home with Patrick: pork chops, mushroom risotto, hot water. Coordinated with Eric D regarding IP addresses for websites. Website monitoring review and followup with Susie. More followup with student SY about UCSF email folder names appear as question marks or Chinese characters. Prepared supp app files and created a new database account. Communicators followup. SCWG work. Today while deciding whether to purchase tickets for the forthcoming Tutankhamun exhibit at the de Young Museum I came across a link to the Muni CultureBus. I've seen this bus around town now and then, and I've always seen it empty. Now I know why. Muni is charging $7 for a bus that travels between the de Young and SF MOMA with a stop at the Asian Art Museum in between. Anyone who can walk for 10 minutes will get to where they're going faster using the normal Muni options. And probably cheaper, too—if you're visiting more than one museum, the all-day privileges doesn't mean a whole lot unless you're trying to visit, say, 4 or 5 museums in one day. Good luck with that. Dinner at home with Patrick: stir-fried flank steak with red bell pepper, steamed rice, hot water. Began design work for Patrick. Selected a color palette with a lot of help from COLOURlovers. It was my first time using COLOURlovers—it's really fantastic. Helped Patrick select typefaces. I finished 3 proposed designs for business cards. It all took about 3 hours.
