Usual oatmeal breakfast. Updated a document for Cindy. Caught up on email. Lunch with JWG at NKRB. More catching up on email and updating a document for Cindy. Left Melissa H a voicemail while walking to the bus. Used iPhone voice recognition on the way home—sweet! Read about Google Sitemap Generator on the bus ride home. I printed out instructions for this almost a year ago but never got around to implementing it for anything on which I work. Home. Read more about iPhone handsfree shortcuts on the Apple website. These instruction pages are pretty well designed except the scrolling iframe creates a scrollable region inside a scrollable region and it's confusing to use at times. The other big problem is that it's not clear how much stuff there is because the indicator for the current tab is not very obvious. Dinner at home by myself: Joe's Os with basil chiffonade from the basil plant my mom and dad gave us—yummy! Time Machine completed its initial backup. I previously had the Time Machine drive connected to the Airport Express and had so many problems I was about to give up on Time Machine but then I thought I would try Time Machine when the drive is connected more directly to my computer. I say more directly because it's connected to the miniStack v2 rather than directly to my iMac. I then shared the drive with Patrick's computer and started Time Machine on it to this drive. We'll see how it goes. Carbon Copy Cloner—you're on hold for now, but I might yet come back to you. Quick web edits for Danny's website: the return of Jacques.
