Usual oatmeal breakfast. Had trouble getting to work. Submitted a request to DLS to have them install required RSIGuard software for nearly all our office computers. Made live symposium homepage changes for Susie. Helped student KH with a question about uploading a slideshow video to the web. Web survey followup with Susie. Confirmed SSL installation for Eric D's Partners in D survey project. Asked Susie a clarifying question about recent board roster updates. Helped student JY with a problem on an iPod touch—connected to a UCSF email account the device could receive messages but not send. It had been configured for IMAP. We entered account information for the outgoing server but the problem still happened. We deleted the account and added it using the Exchange protocol, but the problem still happened. Unresolved and the student had to go to class so I handed off the phone number for OAAIS and said to also check that the student's already-configured Yahoo! account could send and to call OAAIS if the problem remained unresolved. Helped student SC with laptop maintenance. Lunch: panda express. My fortune: Your perspective will shift. Web team meeting with Eric D and Susie. Installed a new UPS for Shirin. Patrick picked me up in the car because the weather report said it was going to be 69 degrees and sunny and it turned out to be 50 and overcast so I was not dressed properly even for the bus ride home. Dinner at home with Patrick: leftovers, accidentally spicy baked chicken, bread, Smart Balance Light, hot water. Voted; Patrick will hand deliver them to the polling station in the morning.
