Breakfast: my favorite breakfast at home. Installed security cables for Chris, removed them after they prevented him from inserting his laptop in his docking station. Computing services documentation. More transcription and video news story work. Scanned a document to PDF for James. Pre-lunch: a sandwich. Lunch: salad from the cafeteria. Set up the laptop for James for a meeting. Investigated transcription and captioning vendors for Susie. Picked up a video at the video rental store. Dinner at home with Patrick: square pizza. Watched Chitty Chitty Bang Bang (1968) on DVD with Patrick. Although he knew the titular song, he had never seen the film before. I remember seeing it at least several times in my childhood but was surprised to find how much of it I had forgotten and also surprised at how charmed I was with the entire story and all the songs all over again. We both enjoyed watching it very much. I keep forgetting the keyboard shortcut in Firefox for switching among tabs. I want Ctrl+Tab, which is the Windows shortcut, but in OS X it's Cmd+Option+RightArrow, which on my keyboard is Alt+Windows+RightArrow. Ctrl+Tab in Firefox on OS X switches focus from the address bar to the page. Backfilled yesterday's journal entry.
