Voted. Rode my bike to work. Linkchecking, Flickr work, kiosk work. Our QBC websites launched today, and I spent a lot of the day following up on postlive tasks: linkchecking, updating the A to Z list, etc. Followup with Karl M and Darius M about server access. Answered a question from Mike W and Sherilyn V about YouTube. Listserv management. Eric and I chatted with Rodney about the Mac Mini security cages he recently installed. Purchased equipment. Lunch from the cafeteria: cream of mushroom soup, garlic fries with ketchup, water. Chatted with Sammie about zip files. 1-on-1 with Cindy. Help desk meeting. Posted draft schedules for Lucia. Tried installing display rotation software for Lisa's computer, but it resulted in BSOD, so I undid the changes and now everything is back to normal. Installed updates for my Mac Pro. Rode Muni home. Snack from Panda Express: veggie spring rolls. My fortune: You will always be surrounded by true friends. Dinner at home with Patrick: steamed veggie dumplings with dipping sauce. Finished watching Captain America (2011) on Netflix DVD with Patrick. Facetimed with Tina. Troubleshot the problem in which Patrick's computer failed to back up with CrashPlan Central for the past 5 days. Restarting the CrashPlan engine did not work. Restarting his computer did not work. Checked his firewall—CrashPlan is already allowed. Restarting the Airport Express did not work.
