Warmup cardio: 15 minutes. Shower. Usual oatmeal breakfast. Chatted briefly with Rebecca W on the way to work. Helped student CY with suspicious email messages. Helped student CT with a question about VPN. Answered student EG's question about whether a job posting she received was legitimately from us (answer: yes). Facebook fan page and group page work for Devi V and Marie P. Checked in with Jamie K about access to her website. Web edits for SCWG: updated list of accounts and VPN pages. More Facebook work. Resolved disk quota and permissions problems on the bts account and new Ahituv website for Karl M, propagated solution to all other accounts on bts. Submitted redirect request to PubAff for acdrs for Jaime K. More BTS website work. Checked in with Cindy—we agree to join the computer energy savings program that DLS is deploying. Edited a portion of a map provided to us by the Golden Gate Club. It showed areas that you can park in green and areas that you cannot park in red, but this seemed to me an obvious problem for people who are red-green colorblind. Also, it was probably ambiguous if you printed to a black-and-white printer. I edited the map in Adobe Illustrator to use patterns made of black and white only: checkers for where you can park, horizontal stripes for where you cannot park, and vertical stripes for disabled parking. Created a legend, updated the link in InDesign, printed a draft for Cindy to review. Followup with student SY: OAAIS (Mark B) had not yet contact the student regarding Outlook Web Access folder names appearing as question marks or as Chinese characters. Lunch: junior burger, onion rings, POG juice from the cafeteria. Listserv management. I learned today that in Facebook groups officers have no special powers or responsibilities—their name appears prominently, that's all. More Facebook work. More BTS website work. Agreed to help Sue A and Barbara S with another ACPE project coming up soon. Added image credits for a certain photo of Mary Anne. Weeded old, unneeded files. More BTS website work. More Facebook work. Followup with PubAff on our ACDRS redirect request, asking when we can expect it to be in place. Answered a question for student RC about Lexi-Comp compatibility with iPhone. (Answer: not. Try Epocrates instead.) More BTS website work. More Facebook work. Patrick picked me up in the car. Dinner at Assab with psychobauble, Nate, and Patrick. Food is delicious, served beautifully on a giant platter. Service is a little slow, but not like in Paris. Home. Installed some shelfettes in Patrick's office. Troubleshooting SSH access with Bluehost. They say today that they cannot find the request I submitted yesterday. We determine that their upload form is broken somehow and find an alternate route. After 36 minutes of online chat, they grant me SSH access. I rsync the files, give it a once-over, change DNS. Now we wait. Okay, it's done. I ran into the same problem that (I think) psychobauble did when he migrated his site: the folder called public_html in my home folder got changed to 775 but it needs to be 755 or else you get Error 500: Internal Server Error. All done migrating frankfarm.org. Woo!
