Usual oatmeal breakfast. Chris/psychobauble told me about Coda, a new web development application for OS X by Panic, the makers of Transmit. It looks very interesting, and I'll be checking it out soon. Organized e-mail and paper documents. Computer setup for student PK. Helped student NS with an HTML problem. Troubleshot problems with the UCSF Human Resources BrassRing website's Send to Friend feature which sends a form button in an HTML e-mail which Outlook 2007 for Windows in Win XP SP2, Firefox 2.0.0.3 in Win XP SP2, and IE7 in Win XP SP2 all do not understand. The View jobs button either does not appear or it does appear but when you click it you get a new window with the message you were just looking at—not the job description you were expecting. I reported the problem (with copious details on steps to reproduce, of course) and the response I got back was essentially "me and my supervisor tried it and it worked for us—please try again" so I realize I need to be a little more persistent with this one. The problem does not occur in Outlook 2003 in Win XP SP2 or in OpenWebMail in Firefox 2.0.0.3 in Win XP SP2 or in Yahoo! Mail in Firefox 2.0.0.3 in Win XP SP2. Posted the wireless survey live and announced. Lunch: sandwich and chicken salad from Palio. Met with Cindy. Brian W announced a new podcast storage and management system at UCSF—this is a very nice thing to have and my first peek at it looks promising. Okayed renewal of MCCA for Valerie. Created new proposed survey for next month's CSC meeting. Chatted with Danny on the phone. Dinner at home with Patrick: leftovers from last night. Dessert: 3 thin mint Girl Scout cookies for me. Worked on Danny's website.
