Made a master of the software cdrom I've been working on. Followed up with Melissa Gabrieli at MDL regarding our distribution license for Chime and ISIS/Draw. Responded to Valerie Starling about inventory issues. Put new news on the home page for Susie, sent it to her for review, then made it live after she okayed it. Lunch at desk: garden burger, pickle, curly fries from the cafeteria: $4.75. Patrick moved the car from one side of the street to the other coz it's street cleaning tomorrow. His first drive alone in the Deliverator. Spoke with Wes at Olde West to set up our cdrom duplication. Mucked about with the Belkin OmniView Adapter, which was giving me grief—made the mouse too jittery, tho I could've sworn it worked fine in the past. I decided after much troubleshooting that it was probably a mouse other than the Microsoft Trackball Optical that it worked with. When I switch to an older PS/2 mouse, the problem goes away. Still, there's nothing on Belkin's Web site that says it's incompatible with Microsoft Trackball Optical. I never thought very highly of Belkin's technical support. And their Web site is awful, too. Sometimes I wonder why I keep buying their products. Dinner at home with Patrick: couscous with asparagus, tomatoes, pine nuts, and parmesan. Patrick set up the bread maker to make bread in the morning.
