Usual oatmeal breakfast. Telecommute day. Worked on Snuffy and Big Bird. Had some trouble with my HTML-Kit installation—the cursor would not update properly or would blink a lot like it was doing a lot of cursor updating. Uninstalling HTML-Kit and reinstalling it cleanly fixed it. Lunch: leftover cow jambalaya, Triscuit, flax seed tortilla chips. Started using Spaces in OS X today. The new wired keyboard from Apple switches around some default keyboard shortcuts that Apple has standardized in the past. For example, until the release of this keyboard (last year?), F11 was the button to push to reveal the desktop. On my aluminum Apple keyboard, however, pressing F11 decreases volume. It's very confusing. Dinner at home with Patrick: leftovers. Recently sound stopped working in VMWare Fusion and I couldn't fix it no matter what I tried. Today, however, it's working again. Weird. Still, it's better than UNMOUNTABLE_BOOT_VOLUME in Parallels.
