Stretches. Weight training: dumbbell bench fly, reverse incline dumbbell press, front raise. Chunky soup, nonfat milk. House chores. Wrangled with migrating data from Outlook 2007 to Entourage 2008 and iCal 3.0.2 because I'm trying to reduce my reliance on Windows—I get only 2 GB of RAM on my iMac at home, and it would be very nice to not have to run Fusion. Before today I had Entourage 2008 connected to UCSF e-mail (Exchange server). Today I set up IMAP connections to my home e-mail accounts. Since nearly all my mail is on the server, there was no mail to migrate—easy. For mail archives that I wanted to keep, I created PDF archives. I discovered the feature in Entourage which syncs data between it and iCal and Address Book and Yahoo! and turned it on. I couldn't figure out how to export contacts from Outlook and import them into either Entourage or iCal—the text import did not work for me, so I just turned on Yahoo! sync and let it have the data which I had sitting in Yahoo! from a long time ago. Entourage 2008 crashes enough to make me think it's still beta software. Lunch: leftovers for Patrick, lemon pepper pappardelle with shrimp and mushrooms. House chores, cut my hair, showered. Nap. Bought a gift at Phoenix Books. Dinner at Le Zinc (415-647-9400, 4063-24th Street, San Francisco) with Patrick. Entourage 2008 crashes consistently when I try to create one particular recurring appointment. Stretches.
