Usual oatmeal breakfast. Morning run: 20 minutes. I haven't been very good at remembering to include when I exercise because I haven't been very good about exercising. I also started back in on weight training on Sunday. Just trying to stay a little more fit than I've been in the past. The students had their quarterly bagel day, so I stopped by the bagel table to visit, then took a few photos of Saunders Court—the school's Flickr photostream hasn't had anything new lately. Laptop maintenance: MacBook. When I pulled out our office MacBook, I plugged it in but noticed that the plug didn't fit quite right. I unplugged it and found a mangled staple stuck in the power connector. How'd that get in there? Oh yeah, it's magnetic! More computer maintenance—this time it's the old laptop. Helped Lucia test network scanning to her computer—it works! Made a welcome back sign for Scott who has been in Egypt for the past 3 weeks (!). Snack: bagel and light cream cheese. Student computing committee cdrom status and Tech Store report. Uploaded Saunders Court photos to Flickr. Fellowship e-mail admin for fellow MP. Lunch at Pomelo by myself. Used urltea.com for the first time today. Noticed that you can see potentially confidential information simply by entering 3 random characters such as http://urltea.com/q0c (an evite to Alexis and Michael's party this Saturday). Interestingly, http://urltea.com/325 is a short URL to a competing URL-shortening service called notlong.com. Chatted with Danica about how to permit a single Yahoo! e-mail account to send to our listserv. She's still working on a solution. Our replacement lock arrived for the key cabinet. I tried installing it but we're missing a T15 TORX screwdriver. Helped resident KT with setting up the MacBook for a presentation. Got two pairs of sunglasses repaired and a spare eyeglasses case at the on-campus optometry shop. I need to go silent for a few weeks about our interview process for the web developer position, so there will be no more mention of it here until we have someone in place. Today I brought cherries to share with others in the office. However, it was really quiet. Scott's in Egypt, Chris is out of town, Cindy is telecommuting, Joel is out of town dealing with CUCSA, Alyssa is away at jury duty. Dinner at home with Patrick: homemade pesto chicken, mediterranean curry couscous, ciabatta rolls, potato leek soup with shallots and curry dusting. Worked late on Danny's website: added photos. After you upload photos of a certain size to Office Live, Office Live automatically resizes them and saves them with awful JPEG settings. Weight training. I signed up today for whitewater rafting with Travis next month. Late meal: one granny smith apple, some cherries, a turkey burger.
