Student computing committee meeting. Laptop setup for Scott took essentially the entire day. After a forced shutdown (hold the power button for about 6 seconds) the MacBook restarted without problems contrary to what I expected after yesterday's FileVault scare. However, I ran into a problem logging in—it would not let me log in to the Windows (Boot Camp) side of the computer until I removed the computer from Active Directory, unjoined it from the domain while logged in as local admin, and rejoin it. This was problematic because it took me a long time to figure out what the problem was and how to resolve it. Made live Joel's preview session page. Chatted with Susie on the phone about an upgrade to our faculty web page listings. Lunch with Joel and Ena at a Chinese restaurant near Ena's workplace. Joel's fortune: An old friend will introduce you to new people and pleasures. Ena's fortune: The luck that is ordained for you will be coveted by others. My fortune: You will be successful in your career. Cindy, Scott, and I interviewed one of our candidates to replace Ena. Spent a very frustrating several hours trying to resolve the problem described in Iomega Answer ID 16274. Pressing the eject button on the REV drive did not make the disk eject as expected. Their support document suggested shutting the computer down for 15 seconds, restarting, then pressing the eject button again—this did not work. Home. When I got home Mom Ryan and Patrick were watching Ellen on DVD. Dinner at home with Mom Ryan and Patrick: Patrick made ginger shrimp with bamboo rice.
