Usual oatmeal breakfast. Linkcheck. Calendar management. Filled out my change form for parking and transportation's reimbursement program. Supp app meeting with JCB, Cindy, JWG, and Scott E. Lunch at desk: turkey sandwich, graham crackers. Chatted with Sarah P about Flickr. Mail management. Organized work for the new communications section and brought forward a lot of things that have been on back burners for a long time. Dinner at home with Patrick: baked chicken drumsticks, mac and cheese, side salad. Editing for Drew. Extracted the miniStack from the rack, cleaned it out from the inside. It was already pretty clean when I first opened it, but I cleaned it some more and it's quiet now—no more noise, even after 5 minutes of being turned on. If it's still quiet after 2 days I will abort the return to OWC. It appears that the miniStack v2 is consistently very sensitive to dust. Or, possibly my unit has a problem with the on-board electronics which controls the fan. It seems to otherwise be a very well-designed product. [time passes] After a few hours, the miniStack v2 is noisy again, so I guess I will be sending it in. Printed photos. Zeroed the drive. Late meal: cold nonfat milk, leftovers.
