Scanned a flyer for Terence Kiang, put it up on current students news. Met with Rob Slaughter, Kevin Souza, Heidi Schmidt, and ?—the first subcommittee meeting of the ACC—academic computing something—committee? I can never remember academic abbreviations and acronyms. Lunch with Joel: low-carb wraps and chips from Subway. We ate in the workroom after students finished counted ballots for the student body elections. One student brought in a little chihuahua she was dogsitting for a few hours. Fun! Met with David Mischel who introduced me to the authentication and authorization project he is working on. He is right on the ball, very knowlegeable, and I am glad he's working on the project. Chatted with Kristina and Melissa about plants, seedlings, orchids. Met with Susie: faculty database, faculty page. She also brought me 2 new books: The Chicago Manual of Style, 15th Edition and The Associated Press Stylebook and Briefing on Media Law. Cool! Changes for James to the provisional reply pages. They are mostly simple edits except he needs a new form page for alternates to reply and his changes to the entering students page aren't what I'd do, so I'll talk with him about them. Cleaned off tape residue from the student lounge door window. Dinner at home with Patrick: delivery from mrpizzaman.com: chicken strips, french fries, breadsticks, chef's salad. About $20 before a $2 tip. Read about International Quirkyalone Day from a link on flavorpill. Played e-Scrabble. More tape backups.
