HTML e-mail work for Susie. Handled confusion over door code problems. Made live changes to the find a place to live page for Cindy. Met with James to review verifying prereq changes. Read the Downing Street Memo at downingstreetmemo.com. Why haven't I heard about this until today? Updated current students news and calendar to add some events for a student. Chatted with Gil at Retrospect about some questions and some problems. Today, I'm not very happy with Dantz, the makers of Retrospect backup software. I learned today that support starts 30 days from the purchase date rather than 30 days from your first call. We purchased the software a long time ago when we made our server purchase and only now did I choose to install it since we were testing another backup option. Now in order to back up open files for just one user, they want $1000. More admissions pages changes for James. Dinner at Cybelle's Front Room by myself: chicken vegetable soup, herb pizza slice. Reviewed Corinna's notes over dinner. Realized today that XXCOPY stopped working 2 months ago. I guess I needed to buy the pro version, so I did. Got backups working again. Lots of other computer maintenance: installed SpywareBlaster 3.4, ran Disk Cleanup and Disk Defrag, uninstalled software I no longer needed, cleaned up and compressed Outlook data files, abandoned old Eudora mailboxes.
