I forgot to mention yesterday I installed and used TrueCrypt for the first time. It's like creating an encrypted disk image in OS X but not as slick or easy. I still haven't figured out how to make TrueCrypt behave more like FileVault or encrypt an entire drive that already has Windows XP installed on it. Usual oatmeal breakfast. Found the owner of a USB drive left behind in one of our computer labs. Helped Scott resolve problems with PharmAdMIT. Pathway declaration web page update for Cindy. Student database work. Initiated REV disk return. Helped student JL with e-mail. Followup with students ZK and AN. Lunch: takeout sandwiches from Subway with Joel. Dinner at home with Patrick: chinese food delivery: deep-fried wontons, combination chow mein, spinach. My fortunes: You will never know hunger. Someone is speaking well of you. Patrick's fortunes: Love is a necessity to you. The light of a hundred stars does not equal the light of the moon. Shopped online. Worked on disaster preparedness. The Iomega REV "Access is denied" error message appears to have gone away—my logfiles no longer show it appearing in recent backups. I don't like that it behaves inconsistently like that—how do I know if my data is safe that way?
