Stretches. Weight training: side plank (easier this time). Usual oatmeal breakfast. Placed student awards dinner A/V order with IRTS. Berkeley support meeting - Ann bought pizza and drinks for the meeting - woo! Mac OS X meeting - Apple reps brought a dessert platter. Set up training hours for Eric VU. Edited the student awards dinner PowerPoint: added photos. When attempting to print handout slides from a PowerPoint 2007 presentation to a Xerox Phaser 6200DP, I received the following error message: "ERROR: ioerror, OFFENDING COMMAND: image, STACK: -dictionary-" and when attempting to print the same to PDF using Acrobat Pro 8 I received the following error logfile:

Problem was caused by a problematic JPG. Opening and resaving the image in Photoshop and replacing the image in PowerPoint fixed it. Lots of e-mail followups. Stopped at Al's Market then Park's Farmer's Market but bought nothing. Hopped the N-Judah train to Civic Center. Took BART to 16th and Mission. Ran in to JY and Adrian on their way to Sunflower, and I stopped to say hello. Walked to Tartine and bought some desserts. Dinner at PDD's with Danny, Drew, and Phil: Phil prepared lasagne, a salad, and garlic bread—perhaps the first Italian meal I've ever had at PDD's. Romy joined us for dinner partway through. Chi and Cuong showed up after needing help buying a fountain over the web. Dessert: two small (4-inch?) tarts from Tartine: chocolate hazelnut, coconut cream—well worth $7 each—so delicious! Patrick spent the evening with Aaron. Stretches.
