Usual oatmeal breakfast. SCWG meeting. Troubleshot cardkey and door lock problems. Web updates for Susie. Student email address change followup. Followup with OAAIS and Registrar about email address change process being inefficient. Listserv maintenance. Responded to Tiki's request for updates to the SATE security posters I created in InDesign. Prepared purchasing for Fusion 3 and Snow Leopard (OS 10.6). Submitted a purchase request for Don K. Lunch: Panda Express vegetarian: chow mein, mixed vegetables, veggie spring rolls. After I made all my selections, the server told me that the food was cooked in a chicken base, "is that okaaay?" I said yes, not being that picky yet. My fortune: Your confidence will lead you to success. Checked in with Helen about Stephen F. 1-on-1 with Cindy. Listserv maintenance for PDC. Helped Carol retrieve data form the Staff Portal. Email account issue followup for SR. Published to the kiosk the UCTV promo I had created. Followup with a request from Brandy L forwarded by student MM. Followup regarding student cardkey access to Genentech Hall and FAMRI Library. Followup regarding the continuing problem with links to Google spreadsheets and our listserv system. Installed VirtualBox 3.0.8 at work, then wondered why it took me so long to try it out. Met with Eric D: Drupal module updates, some facelift review. Sent Cindy an update regarding encryption for students. Met Patrick at Peet's, I got a pumpkin chai latte. Dinner at Danny, Drew, Phil, and Romy's with Danny, Drew, Phil, Romy, Patrick, Nate. Phil cooked pasta with meatballs in alfredo sauce, garlic bread, potato salad—delicious! Nate baked a lemon cake. Home. Installed VirtualBox 3.0.8 at home. Realized that I first bookmarked VirtualBox on April 26, 2007, and never looked at it again until now. Perhaps I didn't bother installing it before because it was still too early and not yet mature? Installed Windows 7 into VirtualBox, immediately installed Firefox 3.5.4, unpinned IE8 from the taskbar—so far so good. Took about 50 minutes. Along the way I discovered a download problem with Sophos from the OAAIS website and reported it in Remedy: "java.sql.SQLException: ORA-01017: invalid username/password; logon denied". This is my first Windows 7 installation. Something disappeared.
