Breakfast at home: oatmeal with diced gala apple, cinnamon, lactose-free reduced fat milk. Rode Muni to UCSF Parnassus. Helped Joel resolve a problem with PharmAdMIT: probably corrupted tables. Dirty reinstall did not fix it. Clean reinstall did. Linkchecking, kiosk work. Found a small editing error in our news, reported the problem to our team. Found errors with links in the UCSF banner on Drupal Web Content Starter Kit sites, notified John K and Courtney A. Found that SCUR broke banner links across hundreds of UCSF web properties, notified them and others of the problem. Followup with student CY about Box. Listserv management. Chatted with Alex about the situation with Java. People in our office still need it, and there's no good way that lets them operate safely while still getting work done, so I decided today to leave Java installed, not mess with whether it's working in the default browser, and to warn staff about opening links or attachments that are untrustworthy. Lunch to go from Panda Express: panda bowl with brown fried rice and mixed vegetables. My fortune: You will soon find new adventure in life. UCSF shuttle from Parnassus to Laurel Heights. Social Media meeting with Eric, Paula, Shirin, and Sara. UCSF shuttle from Laurel Heights to Parnassus. Notified Susie that the orgchart for which SCUR is responsible still shows Mary Anne as our dean. Followup with OSACA about the Java situation. Followup with Tran about my unresolved problem with PGP and external hard disks and unreadable data. Tried to add a new user to Radian6, failed. There is no obvious way to delete existing, inactive users. When I try to add a new user, I receive an error: "The domain in this email address is not in the approved list of domains. Please contact support to have this domain added to the list of approved domains for your account. (OK)" Patrick picked me up in the car. We drove to the Mission. We originally planned to eat at Limon on South Van Ness, but that plan was aborted. Dinner with Patrick and PDDR at Hi-Lo BBQ: BBQ feast for six (St.-Louis-cut spare ribs, beef brisket, beef hot links) with six sides (pull-apart potato rolls with whipped butter, bbq baked beans with burnt ends, potlikker collard greens, old guilford mills cheezy grits, fried brussels sprouts, salted butterscotch cookies), house red syrah, Deschutes Obsidian Stout. About $200. Food is tasty, but this isn't the best BBQ in town. The ribs were not fall-off-the-bone tender. However, if we return, Patrick would like to try the chicken. Drew loves the salted butterscotch cookies. (I do, too.)
