Usual oatmeal breakfast. Made live pathway declaration process changes for Carol and Cindy. Installed Netscape 9.0b3 for Carol, got a software update error right after installation: "AUS: Update XML File Malformed (200)." This is the same problem that was unresolveable with Lucia's computer, also running Netscape 9.0b3. Updated supp app workshops to indicate all full for Scott. Opening the URL of about:config in Netscape and finding app.update.url and setting it to either http://www.mozilla.org/index.html or https://aus2.mozilla.org/update/1/%PRODUCT%/
%VERSION%/%BUILD_ID%/%BUILD_TARGET%/
%LOCALE%/%CHANNEL%/update.xml did not resolve the problem. This is not the same as the Software Update Failed problem I have been seeing recently in Firefox 2.0.0.6 and 2.0.0.7. I could not easily find a solution to this "AUS: Update XML File Malformed (200)" problem so I uninstalled Netscape 9.0b3 and installed Netscape 8.1.3 which does not have the same problem. Some of our office workers need Netscape because the website provided by another administrative office only seems to work in that browser. Prepped Lucia for the same change to her computer. Retrospect maintenance. Chatted with Dick S about his need for a secure file sharing space for student grades—currently UCSF does not have a solution for this kind of information technology need. OAAIS followup—slow network connection for Eric. Chatted briefly with Carl T about Dick S's needs. Helped Cindy with InDesign. LGBT viz work. Lunch: two pastrami and fat free cheddar sandwiches, Triscuit crackers, whole wheat fig bars. Home. Dinner at home by myself: shake n bake chicken tenders with marinara sauce and a little shredded monterey jack cheese, carrots, fried brown rice, garlic toast. Rewatched the last episode of season 1 of Heroes. Weight training: reverse incline dumbbell press.
