Melissa's computer shut down by itself and wouldn't turn on again. Turns out to be a problem with the power supply. I swapped with a working computer to confirm the problem. Dell has a replacement on the way within minutes of my reporting and confirming the problem. I set Melissa up with the shared office laptop as a replacement computer until hers is fixed. More e-mail migration cleanup. Lunch: tostada salad from Carmelina's. Chatted with James about some computer issues: Meeting Maker, PharmAdMIT. Chatted with Chris about his Exchange e-mail account. Minor web page updates to the e-mail forwarding page. After much rsyncing and migration and rewriting and editing of various scripts by me, Julie completed our web server migration while I watched to make sure no problems occurred-- no problems except I forgot to set a database password, but I fixed it within minutes of the change taking effect. Hardly anyone uses that glossary database anyhow. Dinner at home with Patrick: teriyaki mahi mahi, organic greens salad with tarragon, seeded bread loaf and butter. Today was a big tea winner's day. We received from Chris and Nate an anniversary gift: two kinds of Théier tea from L'Epicier. One is muscat, and the other is rose green (green tea with rose petals). Jason B also coincidentally bought Patrick some tea from Chinatown: Jade Rose green tea and Dragonwell Chamomile green tea, both from Red Blossom Tea (415-395-0868, 831 Grant Avenue). We are pleased with our tea booty. Installed Firefox 1.0.1—some security fixes. Rewrote the code for the journal current entry page. It wasn't working correctly, and I had long suspected there were some logic problems with the code, so I worked it through and now I think it's all better. Tweaked the stylesheet to match the changes I made.
