Breakfast at home: organic oatmeal with fresh, diced, organic New Zealand cripps pink apple, California sage honey, cinnamon, soy milk; 12 ounces of TJ's garden patch juice. Small web edit for Susie: homepage update from the dean. Orientation materials prep. Helped Joel with 2 questions about Firefox 6. Supp app: resolved a PDF issue for Daliah. Followup with DLS about Tetty leaving. Set up access to the development biophysics site. The new UCSF School of Nursing website went live—it looks great. Helped student RH with questions about antivirus software and computer network problems. Reminded staff to log out or shut down at the end of the day. Calendar management. Supp app: an import. Adjusted the clear cache batch file on the kiosk. Lunch: leftover box lunch and other food/drink from orientation and a pathway meeting: turkey on dutch crunch, penne in pesto with sundried tomatoes, chocolate chip cookie, organic grapes from home, orange juice. Today was Carol's last day. Posted a new news story. Updated email setup web pages to remove references to ActiveSync activation, which is now automatic for everyone. Checked in with Lisa about whether she's ready for Firefox 6. Resolved a problem with Joel's personal laptop: while dragging Firefox 6 into the Applications folder to replace an older version an error appeared: "The operation cannot be completed because you do not have sufficient privileges." I did lots of troubleshooting with Disk Utility and TechTools Deluxe. To resolve the problem I had to restart the computer in single-user mode and run an fsck command followed by lots of chmod commands. I got stumped partway through and received some help from Syndicate on Mogwee. Emery was the one who brought the answer home with "How bout g+wX?" Eric was out ill today, so I took over his task of taking photos of the new students—took about 45 minutes for A through L, no problems. Worked late making photocopies for my presentation tomorrow and finishing installing updated MFC drivers for Lucia. Snack: one Andes chocolate mint, a handful of TJ's flat pretzel chips. Rode the bus home. Dinner at home by myself. (Patrick ate earlier.) Breaded shrimp and beans quesadilla with sour cream, side salad, water.
