Worked more on the database—it's changed since I met with Cindy today, so this is now what I call Draft 3. Fixed the problem with Mike Lemont's computer—the motherboard wouldn't talk to any video card so I pulled the hard drive out and stuck it in another Optiplex GX110 and now it's working fine. I submitted my 10-page technical services orientation handout to reprographics for duplication. I checked that the CD-ROM duplication is on schedule with Olde West. I resolved a problem with FlashSwitch—there was a damaged registry key which I fixed using RegClean. Helped Stan with e-mail trouble: he could receive but couldn't send. All his settings looked right, and after much troubleshooting we narrowed it down to something on his computer. He's going to try uninstalling, sweeping the registry, then reinstalling and manually entering in the configuration settings. Lunch at desk: leftovers from last night. Dinner at home with Patrick: pan-seared shrimp with polenta, swiss chard stuffed hors d'oeuvre shells. Finished coding all the Lodestar works and sent them to Patrick for review. Updated computers with Windows updates. Installed spell checking on my computer.
