Stretches. Weight training: side-lying leg lift variation. Shower. Troubleshot a mailing list problem for Danny. To work. Restarted Win XP VM after reinstalling Adobe CS3 yesterday because starting InDesign for the first time resulted in a crash. Installed Adobe updates. Now InDesign CS3 no longer crashes. Continued installing Adobe updates and restarting. Continued setting up Win XP VM. Created a new page helping students understand how to use drug databases on smartphones and PDAs, sent it to Chris C for review. Reposted a schedule for Lucia. Updated the vice chairs list for Susie. Spent a long time wondering why Outlook in my new XP VM showed all my calendar info offset by a bunch of hours and realized that XP did not have the correct time zone set. Drupal meeting with Eric D. We went through a whirlwind of screens while he showed me content types and view building, and we prepared the beginnings of a work plan for our new site. We realized that we cannot simply reimplement the site as it is now—to do so would not take advantage of what Drupal offers us. We also realized a bit more how much time this is really going to take, so we're stepping up our frequency and length of meetings. We are excited about the possibilities. When we're done, Drupal might have brought us farther along than we had originally hoped. Home. Cut my hair, showered. More computer setup: Ubuntu 9.04 Jaunty Jackalope on Dell Inspiron 700m.
