Cut my hair. Telecommute day. Followup with student DL about problems opening PDF files in Moodle. Followup with student JK about POP settings for Exchange. Listserv work. Web edit: El-Ibiary new co-chair for pharm care. Investigated how to configure Entourage 2008 to view our global address list. (I think you can't without VPN and Network Connect.) Followup with Cesar about mozy and encryption and Sophos and Windows Security Center. Helped resident YK with accidental email closure. Followup with John F about OSL websites for RCOs. Investigated a problem reported by a student in which Firefox 3 in Vista says that the RealPlayer plugin is not compatible. Must test this later. Lunch: ramen noodles with mushroom, bean sprouts, egg, basil, parsley, onion. Web edits: homepage special boxes, mscr. Helped student CT: cardkey. Helped student AP: listserv questions. More YK followup. Chris C reported that students reported a problem in which Acrobat 9 or possibly Reader 9 takes a long time to launch. Need more data. Helped student BP with questions about email. Helped student RG with questions about email. Made live the podcast pages. Followup with AP about listservs. Chatted briefly with Nick M about ActiveSync—I have no ActiveSync instructions on our website. More followup with AP. End of work. Ran Plex for a few minutes today. This time my cursor disappeared and I couldn't do anything useful in Plex. Quit it. Worked in a lot of weight training throughout the day. Dinner at home with Patrick: bucatini with ground cow in marinara, bread, olive oil with balsamic vinegar. Watched part of the Biden/Palin vice presidential debate on BBC's website during dinner. Watched episodes 11 and 12 of Heroes Season 1 on Netflix DVD with Patrick. Uninstalled the Blog/RSS importer from Facebook—it doesn't work anymore and I couldn't figure out why. Web work for Danny's website.
