Woke up very early and worked on Corinna's website. Went to the doctor. Work. Coded a pathways worksheet reminder for Chris. Linkchecking. Helped student BY with computer problems. Coded new news for Susie, sent it to her for review. Helped student HH with spam problems. Updated career fair page for Joel. Worked on the Confluence wiki for Will. It's quirky with respect to the what-you-see-is-sometimes-what-you-get editing, but serviceable. Helped student KP with computer problems. Helped student AN with Perl scripting. Lots of Mac work today. Installed Parallels on the MacBook. It's pretty slick, no obvious performance problems with 1 GB of memory. Installed Office 2004 on the Mac Mini. If I can run our delegate account in Entourage, I'd rather have that running on the energy-efficient Mac Mini rather than a full-sized tower Dell which is where it is now. It's also essentially silent whereas the Dell is really noisy by comparison. Lunch: sandwich and pasta salad from Palio. Met Patrick and Mom Ryan at Peet's. We had $12 Tuesday dinner at 2223 (all entrees are $12 each): spring rolls, limeade for Patrick, southern fried chicken salad (chiogga beets, maytag blue cheese, seasonal mixed greens) for Patrick, rainbow trout picatta (wild rice pilaf, Sausalito Springs watercress, toasted almonds) for Mom Ryan, tempura snapper for me. We shared tiramisu and molten chocolate cake for dessert.
