I can't remember what I ate for breakfast today. Rode Muni to work. Linkchecking, kiosk work. Supp app incident followup meeting with Joel, Rick, and Stephan. Followup with Brad E about account setup. Followup with student AC and Rodney about duplex wireless printing. Supp app: followup with reported issues. Followup with changing some references on the web to Mary Anne. Finally got admin access to our dev site with C3 via Lolita. Followup with the issue I reported in which Movi is unable to share the full desktop, which might not be resolved until we switch to Cisco Jabber. Answered a listserv question for resident PE. 1-on-1 with Rodney. Supp app: problem investigation. Met with Susie, Eric, and Nancy about CLS data cleanup, sent them notes following the meeting. Resolved supp app and FillPDF error "ERROR -32700: Parse error. Request not well formed." by manually removing (retyping) data in a field that was likely entered on a computer with non-English language input. Followup with Millo to confirm that email addresses on their mail system is not case-sensitive. (It is not.) More followup with Rodney about duplex wireless printing. Followup with student SL about a wireless problem report. More supp app work: resolved a supp app and fillpdf error in which the default Drupal "access denied" page appeared when attempting to view a PDF by manually creating URLs to each node then opening each URL individually to identify which node had the access problem then, as admin, recording the data for that node then deleting it and recreating it. Asked Erik W why there was no iMac in the JACS listing. Rode Muni to Duboce Park. Walked to the Castro. One mushroom pizza slice at Escape From New York Pizza. Will joined me and had a pepperoni slice. Drinks with Will at Toad Hall. Met his friend John. After some time his friends from the gym Chad and Phi (pronounced "fee") joined us for more drinks. Later the four of us went to Badlands and danced. Met Victor. Tonight was unusually dead in the Castro. All the bars seemed to have lighter-than-normal crowds except the brand new Hi Tops (which replaced Lime) which was packed. After dancing we walked Will to his car. Everyone left, and I had a late meal by myself at Wasabi Bistro: california roll, dragon roll, water. Rode Muni home. Encountered Karl B on the train, chatted with him a bit before his stop. My favorite moment of the evening: I'm talking with Chad, and he says, "Wait. How old are you?" At Toad Hall I particularly enjoyed a music video called "Oh My God" by Mark Ronson featuring Lily Allen which featured animation mixed with live action.
