Usual breakfast at the cafeteria. In Windows XP, my print dialog box would take a long time to appear recently, and it happened in more than one application. I opened Printers and Faxes and deleted a bunch of printers I didn't regularly use, some of which had errors connecting, and this seemed to resolve the problem. A fire alarm went off on the 7th floor today. I grabbed the data safe and Cindy, Melissa, Charles, and I took the stairs down and went outside. On Parnassus, we met James who was getting in to work at his normal time and stopped him from going in the building. I went to the bookstore to buy Oral B Advantage toothbrushes for $0.69 each. Two fire trucks appeared and after about 10 or 15 minutes they prepared to leave and it seemed okay to enter the building (but there was no announcement saying so). Met with a student to set up e-mail on the new server and do a laptop security checkup. Chatted with Bill S who stopped by to talk about a web project he's doing. Lunch: tuna sandwich special from Subway, peanut butter crackers and orange juice from Bear Snacks. Converted fall draft schedules to PDF and put them online. Dinner at home with Patrick: pork chops and wild rice. Prepared for camping next weekend, gathered and took stock of supplies. Watched The Simpsons: Krusty Gets Cancelled.
