Installed Flickr Uploadr for Eric V and showed him how to do basic uploads. Tomorrow we'll cover Organizr. Spent most of the day working on the job postings application. Lunch with Ena and Melissa at Dragonfly. Melissa had a lotus root salad, Ena had coconut chicken, I had crab meat noodle soup and green tea. Completed maintenance on student KD's laptop—all is working now. Had a lot of wrangling with CRLF conversions between edit and review screens. Group meeting. Management work. Stretches. Weight training: superslow standing overhead tricep kickback. Stretches. Dinner at home with Patrick: thin-crust combo pizza, sweet potato bisque with nutmeg. Today I notified Mozy that I wanted to close my home account with them. For the past 52 days, they were unable to resolve a problem in which Mozy would crash upon launch in Mac OS 10.5.5. I tried working with them to resolve the problem, and they had me try many things and granted me free extensions to my account, but nothing resolved the problem. They seem like honest people, but I want online backup, not promises of online backup, and Mozy was only delivering on the latter for nearly the past 2 months, and I was tired of it. I've been using iDrive for free the past few weeks and might switch to them instead. For now, I no longer trust Mozy, and I no longer recommend them for home use, but might return to them in the future if they clean up their act. Stretches. Weight training: superslow lying-down overhead tricep kickback, superslow front raise, superslow one-arm dumbbell row. Stretches. Late meal: black cherry yogurt, hot milk.
