Usual oatmeal breakfast. Sophos has recently failed for my computer at work—white X on red circle—and would not update when asked manually. I uninstalled it, restarted, then reinstalled using the latest version of the campus-provided installer—works now. Did the same for Cindy's computer since she's out this week. I suspect all other office computers will need updating and create a computer checklist for this admin task in my 3-ring binder called Other. Self study work. Work room cabinet organization. Computer maintenance for the student affairs coordinator computer. Student class website followup with student DS. Met 1-on-1 with Eric, saw his new chair, did some maintenance on his Boot Camp partition. More computer maintenance: fixing broken Sophos installations. Retrospect troubleshooting. Checked out Alyssa's printer which had started to have a burning smell when warming up and it also encountered a printer jam. I've decided it's no longer worth fixing, so she'll be getting a new printer soon. Dinner at home with Patrick and Mom Ryan: pizza delivery. Prepared for thanksgiving feast tomorrow. Made creole thanksgiving food cards. Installed OS X 10.4.11 at home on the Mac Mini.
