Stretches, crunch. Usual oatmeal breakfast. Linkcheck setup for 2 faculty member websites: Ahituv and Kroetz. Flickr work: searched for contacts with UCSF in the name and added nearly all of them as contacts. Small web edits to the posters page. Prepared for a meeting. Returned to cortig.net/wordpress to try the Office 2008 File Type Converter.app workaround for the problem in which Word 2008 opens with a blank document called Document1 after clicking a link to a Word document from within Firefox 2.0.0.14 in OS 10.5.2. The workaround worked. Computer Technology Support meeting. Installed Growl 1.1.4. Moved my 2nd document to Google Docs. Susie says OK to switch DNS before we have confirmed they received our check. I think this is best since we are running out of time. Today Scott received an error message when attempting to print a letter from PharmAdMIT 2008. This is the first time he tried printing since I implemented the same fix which appeared to work for Joel's computer. I told Scott to call Chris F tomorrow, but I won't be in, and he agreed. Chatted with Lisa S about scheduling a meeting. Had to resort to Outlook 2007 because of error messages when attempting to share calendars in Entourage 2008. Prepared connection info documents for Nancy Jane W and Rodney Y. Calendar management. DAL work: taking care of e-mails. Sent DLS draft communication for Cindy for review. Chatted with Chris about cardkey lock scenarios. Tina and Patrick picked me up in the car and we went home. They put away groceries from Rainbow, Tina packed away gifts to take home, and I freshened in the bathroom. We went to dinner at Espetus, the Brazilian churrascaria, and had an amazing dinner. I've never had the pineapple mint drink before—it's cool and refreshing. I think the top sirloin was my favorite meat. For dessert, we shared the tres leches and the pudin (flan). We walked to Citizen Cake because Tina wanted to check out the desserts and we were disappointed to see that the dessert case in the main entry had been removed and replaced by a bar. Then, we were disappointed again to see the desserts in the smaller adjacent cafe—very ordinary presentations, and cakes about the size of a hockey puck for $6. What happened?! Read the Contra Costa Times article in which BriKel are stars with photo—what happened to the living room?! Maybe it was all minimalist just for the photo shoot. Installed Growl 1.1.4 at home. Stretches.
