Usual oatmeal breakfast. Sara C visited and in about an hour I modified our cdrom build to work with a USB drive instead of a cdrom. Met with Eric D and he showed me Partners in D admin stuff. Added a link to UCSF Library's Facebook page to current students news. Had a surprisingly delightful lunch at Lavosh with Eric D. An Event Apart registration followup. 1-on-1 with Eric D. Orientation web pages followup. Reviewed MyAccess account setup process, sent feedback. Home. "Time Machine Error: Unable to complete the backup. An error occurred while copying files to the backup volume. (OK)" Same as before: "/System/Library/CoreServices/backupd[41594] Copy stage failed with error:11" and "/System/Library/CoreServices/backupd[41594] Backup failed with error: 11". Console also showed and error -43 somehow related to attachments and IMAP mailboxes. I wasn't sure exactly how to resolve this, but I deleted some attachments in e-mail. Later Time Machine gave no errors, so perhaps it's fixed. It took a long time to figure out how in Apple Mail to find or search for all files with attachments. Here's how: Select Mailbox > New Smart Mailbox.... Name the new smart mailbox something like "messages with attachments". Select Messages, All, and Contains Attachments. Note the user interface hurdle one must overcome here—if you don't know what a smart mailbox is, you don't know you can use it to find all messages with attachments. Originally I went to the Search inputline at the top right corner, but I didn't want to search by keywords—I wanted all messages with attachments, and there seemed to be no way to do that using the Search inputline. I then went to Edit > Find > Mailbox search... and it simply put my cursor back in the Search inputline which I already knew was not helpful. Online help did not help. Dinner at home with Patrick: ravioli in marinara sauce, side salad, hot water. Dessert: leftover chocolate torte. Uploaded photos to Flickr. Uploadr hung at the end as in the past—photos upload but it fails to create the containing set. Installed Flickr Uploadr 3.0.5. Realized I didn't mention anything about the Chino Hills earthquake on Tuesday, so I went back and updated my journal entry for July 29. Stretches. Weight training: advanced weighted crunch, advanced one-legged plank, superslow lateral raise, superslow face outlines, superslow front raise, superslow sissy squats. (I think they don't make my knees hurt when I keep my feet close together rather than shoulder-width or wider apart.) Stretches.
