Rode Muni to UCSF Parnassus. UCSF shuttle from Parnassus to Laurel Heights. Breakfast at desk: one slice of banana bread. Kiosk work. Forwarded an announcement from ITS to students warning them to not install iOS 8 and OS X Yosemite just yet. Asana task followup. Followup regarding a technology requirements question from a student. Standup meeting. 1-on-1 with Susie. Listserv management for James F. Content work in Drupal: IRC, job postings form. Lunch at the JCC: pesto, potato, and feta pizza slice; tortilla soup; water from my Contigo water bottle. Posted final fall schedules for Lucia. Updated pharmchem with a second set of Google Analytics code for Eric. Content review with Susie. Content work, content inventory work, and styling in Drupal. UCSF shuttle from Laurel Heights to Parnassus. Rode Muni home. Dinner at home with Patrick: deli chicken caesar wrap, deli minestrone soup, tortilla chips, hummus, hot water, La Crema pinot noir. Dessert: pasticches and slices of the chocolate panforte that David J brought back from Italy. Restocked the laser printer with paper, emptied the paper shredder, tested the new headphones splitter (it works!). Regarding headphones splitters, we began with a Monster Cable AICYP 220s iSplitter Mini Y-Adapter and it must have worked for a while but later it stopped working properly. I could get it to work by pushing the plug all the way in and then pulling it out slightly. I next bought a StarTech.com MUY1MFF 6-Inch Stereo Splitter Cable- 3.5mm Male to 2x 3.5mm Female. This did not work at all even with only one set of headphones plugged in. The audio quality was terrible or simply wrong. I returned it. The one that finally worked was RadTech #13751 (Audio Gear: Cable, ProCable Shortz Audio Y-Splitter, 4-Cond, 3.5mm M-F x 2, 6in - Black). I think the key was having four conductors because I was using it with a MacBook Air. Recharge Spa work for Drew: brochure.
