More work on home page news. Debrah had changes to the schedules. Created editable academic calendar. Joel found 2 errors in the academic calendar list of dates (and I found one more as well), so I fixed those. Ran linkcheck again because there were so many changes to the calendar section. All clear -- no broken links. Helped Michael resolve the problem described in Microsoft Knowledge Base Article 329950. Worked some on getting old college data for 4th-year students from old dBASE III databases. Worked on "Step 4: Make key decisions" in /webdev/, specifying the differences between our template system and our proposed template system and using no template system. Dinner at home with Patrick: Chinese beef stew over steamed rice. Patrick got a bunch of chores done today. He also did Mandarin homework, drew more artwork for Lodestar, and chatted with Amy and David. I caught up on e-mail. I've been reading The Hours by Michael Cunningham. His style is hard for me (mostly because I don't like when parenthetical phrases and sentences are so frequently used as to annoy me). In fact, I wonder how the novel was chosen to receive the Pulitzer prize.
