Pre-breakfast: yogurt. Breakfast to go from the cafeteria: cream of wheat with brown sugar and raisins. Met with student SH about computer problems. Admissions assistant interview. Responded to student AN's questions about installing Perl scripts on the class website. Listserv errors followup. Updated class list. Canceled an order with The Technology Store for an Apple mini DVI to VGA adapter because I found one on Amazon. I had been waiting weeks for them to get some in but they would tell me it would be in on Tuesday and then Tuesday would go by and they still wouldn't have them and then the same kind of thing happened a week later. Computer problems followup with student BY. Confluence followup with Will. Cindy drove me, Joel, Ena, and Lucia to Ena's going away lunch at The Cheesecake Factory in Union Square. Appetizers: hot spinach and cheese dip, thai lettuce wraps. Cindy had sweet corn tamale cakes, Ena had a club sandwich and fries, Lucia had farfalle with chicken and roasted garlic, I had fresh fish tacos, and Joel had chinese chicken salad. Desserts to go: a slice of tiramisu (not tiramisu cheesecake), a slice of pumpkin cheesecake, a slice of chocolate oreo cheesecake. Lucia said today at lunch that the best tiramisu she's ever had was the chocolate tiramisu at Palomino. Admissions assistant interview. Prepared and sent Kingston SD card for return to Kingston for repair or replacement due to error message "Memory card error - Card locked!" Helped Chris troubleshoot a problem with a CD-ROM he received. Dinner at home with Patrick: leftovers. Weight training: tricep kickback, wrist curl, reverse wrist curl. IE7 was released today. I've been testing very minimally with my own sites, mostly with an early beta.
