Breakfast: oatmeal. Mostly caught up on e-mail and filed some trouble tickets with ITS. Reworked backup strategy for the server. Previously I had 5 tapes, one for each weekday, but sometimes I'd forget to change the tape. So the new strategy is to make manual backups during each weekday and to leave in a single tape that backs up every 4 hours. If I miss a manual backup, then everything is still (theoretically) safe. Dropped in a new TIFF that Chris sent me for his poster project. Lunch with Melissa and Joel: takeout from the food court. Melissa got a taco, Joel got a pizza, I got Panda Express. My fortune: Next full moon brings an enchanted evening. Populated password databases for staff with known logins and passwords. Prepared for the final e-mail migration (P1 and P2 students). Dinner at home with Patrick: sea bass, lasagna, cornbread. Made Issue 13 of Lodestar Quarterly live. Watched The Simpsons: Mobile Homer. Bought drug store items online.
