Learned this morning that the Exchange OWA migration that took place on March 17 really did require students using Outlook to change their proxy configuration settings even though we were told no one but OWA users would notice a change. I didn't learn this from OAAIS or from one of the SCWG committee members but rather from one of my students (JE). Student computing working group meeting: we reviewed computer requirements (a few changes), talked about the letter to entering students (no changes for now), discussed the Outlook proxy settings change, Entourage weirdness, other UCSF email weird behaviors, OAAIS communication needs. Back to my desk. Updated proposed computer requirements, sent pages to SFS and Housing for review and approval. Forwarded the proxy settings solution to resident LT. Helped drop-in student VL with computer setup and optimization. Helped Kerry M troubleshoot problems with Web Disk, confirmed that it doesn't work for me either, began troubleshooting with ServInt. Supp app followup with JCB and Cindy: cost estimate for project. Helped Sue A with an emergency scan: Barbara S's signature. Reviewed a new news story with Eric D. Supp app followup. BTS new subsite followup with Maria and Lisa. Updated the Google Documents spreadsheet of all websites affiliated with the school with the data provided by BTS. Helped drop-in student AP and drop-in student MAM with resetting Outlook proxy settings. Chatted with a student at the bus stop. To home. Patrick's allergies have been making him miserable. Dinner at home with Patrick: orange chicken, mashed potatoes, boiled peas. Worked on Danny's website: added April specials. Prepared a work plan for tomorrow. Warm-up cardio: 10 minutes. Stretches. Weight training: various lower body, crunch. Stretches. Late meal: cran-grape juice, V8 high fiber juice, blueberry lowfat yogurt, leftover, mixed-up taco fixins, hot nonfat milk.
