Lunch at my desk by myself: spaghetti with meat sauce, garlic bread, corn from the cafeteria. Admissions changes. Made a schematic of Joel's new office for Joel. Made meeting arrangements with ENS regarding telephone and networking services buildout in our new offices. Installed Windows 2000 SP4 for Chris's second office. Set up PharmAdMIT for Debrah and Chris and Chris's second office. Gave a heads up to Melissa and Ena about the admissions changes going live tonight. Did a hardware survey of graphics cards to determine what we'll need to move everyone to all digital flat panels, digital graphics cards, and Windows XP (primarily to get ClearType and more desk space). Completed Windows Updates (SP4) for everyone in the office except Joel and James. Completed PharmAdMIT re-setup for everyone except Joel and Kristina. Made admissions changes live, ran linkcheck, all okay. Checked some links manually that linkcheck wouldn't catch, all okay except a minor issue at the bottom of Form D, so I notified James and he will offer a proposal to fix it. E-mail account for one of our students was deactivated again, talked with Mark Bering about it. He was very helpful and expects the account to be restored tomorrow. Dinner at home with Patrick: salmon with herbs de provence, spinach and feta something, spanish rice pilaf with crimini mushrooms and broccoli. Watched Fleeing By Night on DVD with Patrick. 66 bus didn't show up today. Took me over an hour to get home. Patrick got a check from the Ontario Review for the story they are publishing soon.
