Stretches. Weight training: superslow lateral raise, superslow front raise. Usual oatmeal breakfast. Walked most of the way to work because last night I noticed one of the busses on our route was broken down at 9th and Kirkham and so today when I checked NextBus the next bus was 41 minutes. Management activities. Lots of followup on student issues. Chatted with Martin S—he's having problems receiving email from some people. Handed Eric D his license key for Panic Coda. More student issues followup. Troubleshot listserv problem: confirmation request never received. Listserv management. Tested a listserv problem for student JW. Met with Rodney, talked about forthcoming monitor purchases. Met with Susie, we talked about colors and Eric D joined us for some of it at the end. Lunch: leftovers at desk during our meeting. Supp app planning with JWG. Took an alternate route home that I never took before: bus 6 to its end then walked the rest of the way. Patrick has a sore throat and stayed home all day, so I picked up dinner. Dinner at home with Patrick: Mexican food to go from the local burritoria. Troubleshot Time Machine error "The backup volume is read only" on Patrick's iMac. Reselecting the volume in Time Machine preferences did not fix it. Turned off Time Machine for both computers. Unmounted the Time Machine drive. Powered the drive down then up. Connected the Time Machine drive directly to my iMac. Opened Disk Utility. Ran Disk Repair on the Time Machine drive: "Incorrect number of access control lists" and "volume header needs minor repair" and "the volume was repaired successfully." This did not fix it. Troubleshot CrashPlan problems on both computers. Shopped for a new alarm clock, decided to not buy a new alarm clock and just use the alarm clock on my iPhone. We'll see how it goes. Edited Folsom Street Fair photos.
