Breakfast at home: bagel and cream cheese. Made live minor web updates for Cindy. Updated the electives schedule for Cindy. Chatted with Joel about student ID photos and orientation. Chatted with Cindy about calendar sharing. Lunch: takeout from the cafeteria: beef stroganoff, broccoli. Set up the laptop for James's presentation. Chatted with Rodney before he left for vacation. I'm his emergency backup while he's gone. Chatted with Mark B about Exchange issues. Attempted to synch Outlook to Chris's Treo 650 (a Palm OS device), and failed. We know the system detected the Treo because the balloon saying new hardware was found appeared, but during sync it simply timed out and no data was transferred. When I went to look at the log file, I got an error message saying the log file did not exist. Everything looks like it's set up correctly, but it just doesn't sync and nothing points us in the direction of a solution. I thought we'd uninstall Palm Desktop and reinstall it, so we uninstalled it. Upon restart, Norton Anti-Virus would no longer start properly. We attempted to use System Restore to travel back in time, but it failed us on the 2 most recent restore points (and there were no other restore points stored). System Restore simply said it couldn't do the restore we had requested and that no changes had been made. Now, because of Palm, I have to fix the Norton problem on Monday before attempting the Treo sync again. Napped. My first time to Club Dragon, where Andy, Scott, Travis, Steve L, Steve D, Jason, Ryan, Galen, Peter, and others were already there. Met Collin and Boman for the first time. Had fun. Afterwards, Andy, Scott, Patrick C, ?, ?, and I went to Baghdad Cafe for a meal. It must have been around 3 or 4 AM. Scott was falling asleep at the table but magically remained upright the whole time.
