Usual oatmeal breakfast. Printing troubleshooting for Carol. She's having the same problem that Joel did in which attempting to print to our network printer gives an error: "Word has encountered a problem..." Worked more on creating the podcasting section for Susie and Candy. Prepared for a meeting about switching the IRC printing to a system that the Library just set up so that we don't have to deal with taking cash when charging for printing. Went to the meeting. A decision was made to use our own system for computer printing and to possibly join the Library's system for photocopying. Lunch: dos tacos from Carmelina's. I learn new information which might change our decision from this morning and send the info to Chris. Met with Rodney to review what I need to know while he's out on vacation. Web edits: strategic plan subsite. Computer maintenance for Joel: defrag, installed QuickTime. I didn't realize until today that Netscape—the browser—is dead. browser.netscape.com has details. Netscape was important in the early days of the web as an early innovator in browser technology and the primary competitor to Internet Explorer for many years. Noticed that Apple's current information about MobileMe neglects to mention—except in a transition document in the support section—that Apple Backup will continue to work with it. I have a web page which previously pointed to a video tutorial about how to use the backup services in .Mac. The link broke when MobileMe was announced, and now I have nothing to link to anymore because Apple doesn't provide a page describing the backup features in MobileMe. There's a page describing iDisk, but iDisk isn't backup or Backup. I'm removing my link—Apple's loss. Lots of linkchecking due to many links starting with www.ucsf.edu now temporarily moved to web.ucsf.edu as of a week or few ago. Chris decides we might now join the Library's system for computer printing as well—excellent! Home. Read Sage feeds. Installed Office 2008 12.1.1. Patrick and I recently fedexed something to Tina, and she said today that she found it last night in the bushes. Why does FedEx do that? It reminded me of the time Don Don ordered a large screen television and it was delivered to his house. It had been delivered, but he did not know it was delivered for several days until he found it—a very large box—on a secluded portion of his patio that he never used and never looked at. Snack: lowfat cherry yogurt. Dinner at Daphne's at Westlake Center: shrimp pita sandwich, pink lemonade. Wanted to buy some sewing supplies, but Beverly's was closed. Went to Linen N Things which is closing this store so many things are on sale. Bought nothing. Went to TJ Maxx because I hadn't seen the boys clothing department yet but it was a bust. Found some gifts in other sections, though. Home. Finished altering a pair of pants for me. Patrick is enjoying a new pair of Sennheiser headphones that we bought recently. Cleaned up the sewing mess I made since yesterday. Late meal: ramen with corn, peas, shrimp, and egg.
