Breakfast at home with Patrick: warm apple galette, tea. To work. Pharm sci web edits for Carol. ICRD followup with Cindy. Followup with Luis T about Drupal. Org chart and other web updates for Susie. Followup with student AF about email. Completed licensing agreements and downloaded software installers to build the cdrom our students entering in fall will use to quickly get everything we want them to have. Told staff how in Outlook 2007 to easily share calendar availability—there's a new and very useful feature that didn't exist in Outlook 2003: In a new message, position your cursor in the message body where you want your availability to appear. Select the Insert tab, then the Calendar icon. Follow the instructions that appear to insert your availability. Followup with Claire L about CLE. Updated the list of accounts after discovering that our students have accounts in a system I had never heard about. Minor web updates for Susie and Maria F. Notified Scott N about some php errors related to his site. Supp app installation troubleshooting. Resolved a problem with our RSS feed. Drupal styling. To home. Dinner at home with Patrick: pork chops. Uploaded photos and a video from Carnavale. Organized photos: regrouped my main collection of photos from a temporary location on an external hard drive to my iMac's hard drive. Seagate Barracuda 1.5 TB hard drive unmounts from Airport Exchange unexpectedly. Possibly related errors:
- kernel[0]: ASP_TCP CancelOneRequest: cancelling slot 17 error 89 reqID 17639 flags 0x9 afpCmd 0xF0000002 so 0xd7c9b28
- kernel AFP_VFS afpfs_CheckForVolumeChange: GetVolParms failed 2, unmounting vol
- kernel[0]: AFP_VFS afpfs_CheckForVolumeChange: GetVolParms failed 2, unmounting vol
Turning the external hard drive power off and then on again temporarily resolved the problem. Successfully installed and configured MAMP PRO. I thought at first I could get by without MAMP PRO but it really is a timesaver and well worth its price of 60 USD.
