Usual oatmeal breakfast. Dealt with a problem with a possible power outage and beeping UPS problem in Eric's workspace—this took an hour to investigate, troubleshoot, and resolve. Bugged Andy V about my expired evaluation license for VMware Fusion. Even though we ordered it months ago someone screwed up on their end and the order was supposed to be resubmitted last week but it's still being processed and we don't have our licenses yet. I got him on the phone and he quickly sent me a new eval license. Finished prepping new homepage photos and sent them to Eric and Susie for review. The slide scans that DMM produced for us turned out beautifully. Minor web edits. Made live the revised computer section—a large update. Made my first real world edit in Daisy to the OAAIS website, followed up with John K to make sure I was doing everything properly. Directory information disclosure followup with Doug C. Websteering lunch prep, used doodle.ch to let people specify restaurant preferences. Listserv management. Computer maintenance for Chris: installed and configured a few remaining applications. Best part was I got Bluetooth working so that he can synch his Treo 755p to the computer over Bluetooth—very sweet. Previously Bluetooth has been painful to use because it couldn't hang on to the COM port it needed, but this time for some reason it is sticking. I do not pretend to know how it works. Lunch: taco and chips from Carmelina's. Dinner: cow and vegetable stew with steamed rice. Hand-migrated 13 address book entries from my custom database to Apple Address Book. Talked on the phone with Melissa H about law school, graduation, chocolate, kids, computers. Weight training: advanced plank, super slow bench dip, reverse wrist curl. Stretches. Late meal: chunky soup, hot nonfat milk.
