Usual oatmeal breakfast with yogurt. Eric and I met with John K to talk about advanced Daisy. Lunch: leftover salad and sandwich from yesterday. Helped Cindy set up the laptop for a preview session. Keynote saved us today. The MacBook wouldn't display to the projector in the room in Boot Camp no matter what I tried, so I restarted in OS X thinking that we'll just run the PowerPoint in Office 2008 but I forgot that when we open this particular presentation it makes PowerPoint 2008 crash. I right-clicked the presentation and saw Keynote as an option and selected it. The Keynote trial began and Keynote opened the presentation. The first slide had a text box that had a plus sign and I thought that was a bad sign, but all the other slides seemed to be okay. I resized the text box on the first slide and saved the changes and everything seemed to go okay. Cindy started her presentation about 6 minutes late but otherwise everything seemed to go well. Met 1 on 1 with Eric. We shopped a little for external web hosting since our dean decided on Wednesday that we shall either buy our own servers and run things in-house or go outside and since we learned that we probably cannot do this in-house because we don't have the kind of 24/7 support that we want. Dinner at home with Patrick: grilled shrimp with garlic arrostito sauce over farfalle, hot dinner rolls, Smart Balance Light. Watched Justin Timberlake's Futuresex/Loveshow on DVD borrowed from Sam.
