Breakfast: oatmeal with fresh diced organic granny smith apple, organic cinnamon, organic nonfat milk; 13 ounces of V8. To work, bad Muni day, late to work. SCWG meeting, Jon J jokingly thanked me for being later than he was, making him look good (or less bad)—funny. Website monitoring maintenance—removed CTSI from our watch list since their site goes down so frequently. Lots of calendar management. Purchasing epaperwork: Drupal. Let student EM know how to widely distribute a message. Small web edit for Cindy: CPJE checklist. Small web edit for the visitors page: free wifi. PharmAdMIT 2010 install and brief testing, asked JWG to test a bit more. 1-on-1 with Cindy: chatted about announcements for students. Chatted with James J about revenue codes and PeopleSoft preparers. More followup with Jen L about Drupalcon SF reg, just confirming that all is well. Same followup with Eric D and Susie L. PeopleSoft followup with La'Trece C, Michael N, and James J. Chatted with Eric D about his cat. Today I decided it was time to give Windows 7 another go at work. I had temporarily given up on it at work several months ago due to error message "vmware-host is not accessible. You might not have permission to use this network resource. Contact the administrator of this server to find out if you have access permissions. The network address is invalid. (OK)" which I was unable to resolve until today. The resolution for me was to trash the existing Windows 7 VM and reinstall it from scratch choosing the "less integration" option (or whatever it was called during setup). I was still able to share specific folders and not have the error message return. Got Firefox, Sophos, and a few other apps installed. So far so good. At home Windows 7 has been working well for some time. Mardi gras potluck at Phil, Drew, and Romy's with Phil, Drew, Romy, Nate, Sandip, Quyen, Dave M, Paul M. Dirty rice (Phil), seared ahi tuna (Phil), steamed rice (Phil), fried catfish (Quyen), grilled tilapia (unknown), red beans with sausage (me), 2 different shrimp dishes (unknown), chocolate cake and vanilla ice cream (Nate), wine (Dave), assorted alcohols (Drew).
