Usual oatmeal breakfast. The Time Machine at Etsy is extraordinarily beautiful but not terribly practical for shopping except in one particular scenario. But there's a lot in the Etsy website to interest a web developer because it features a lot of innovative user interface design for the web, and I am rather impressed even though it uses Flash. e.g., the up and down arrow keys on the keyboard work in their Time Machine to navigate forward and back—most Flash interfaces don't pay as much attention to detail as that. Discovered that I can access the UCSF campus directory in Entourage 2008 only when I have VPN Network Connect active. Installed KeePass 3.11 for Windows and KeePassX 0.3.1 for OS X. Many Flickr web edits for Susie. Announced the email on your smartphone survey to our students. Completed the staff survey, which took me 4 times as long as Cindy said it took her to complete. Computer security web edits. Dinner at home with Patrick: maui beef (cow), steamed asparagus, thai rice. Dessert: one piece of salt water taffy (peppermint).
