Usual oatmeal breakfast. To work. Followup with student PN about mailbox too full. WeID work for Rodney. Began unwrapping supp app code from Jon J. Graduation ceremony map edits and final for Cindy. Made live the calendars for 2009-2010 for Cindy. Set up my work briefcase in Windows to synch files to my usb drive. Also did the same for software installers that I keep handy on the usb drive. MCCA followup with Kurt G and Valerie S—still have not received the expected email. Posted a notice about our office closure on Fri Mar 27. Fixed our website so that it looks correct in IE8 (with compatibility mode off). Made live spring schedules for Lucia. Doctor appointment. Shuttle to Mission Bay. Took lots of photos of building exteriors. Chatted with students PN and KH. BTS celebration. Met and chatted briefly with Peter L and Christina C. Met and chatted with Robert in Shuvo R's lab. Chatted with Richard T and Eric D and briefly with Mary Anne and others. The party's caterer used Bambu plates which I learned later are made of 100% organically grown bamboo and are disposable ("fully biodegrade in 4-6 months and contain no bleaches or dyes"). Dinner at home with Patrick: coconut poppyseed chicken, thai-style lime rice pilaf. Watched Die Hard 2 (Die Harder) on Netflix DVD with Patrick.
