Listserv maintenance for student AP. Placed hardware orders: external hard drives for the digital asset management system backup, new UPS for Eric. itssrv1 cleanup prep work. Faculty web page edits for Susie. Darik-boot-and-nuked 2 old computers to be surplussed. Lunch at Pasta Pomodoro by myself: healthy chicken with the whole wheat fusilli option, hot water. Picked up my new night guard at the dentist's office. Mailed a package to Tina (rawr). LGBT viz work. Archived old class websites that are going to be deleted soon. Web edits followup with Eric. Helped Shane S with permissions problems in her website. Checked with Alyssa about archiving files found on a floppy disk. Prox lock paperwork organization. Today I received the Kensington MicroSaver replacement notebook lock. Excellent! Prepared old computers and hardware accessories for surplus. Dinner at Danny, Drew, and Phil's with Danny, Drew, Phil, Chris, Nate, Mom Ryan, Fonsie, and Ron. Beef stew, catfish soup. Ron and Fonsie brought for dessert a sans rival, a filipino cake which is described variously on the web as such things as a meringue crusted cashew nut cake or a napoleon layered cake. The cake was surprisingly light and airy, with very sweet frosting on top and between the layers. After dropping Mom Ryan off at home, I bought gas. About 10 gallons at $3.619 per gallon (89 octane) = $35.00. Why can't humans combine a gas pump and an ATM machine into one transaction?
