Stretches. Weight training: reverse leg lift, sidelying leg lift. Troubleshot Time Machine error 18 "cookies do not match" and "no such file or directory" when attempting to use ls on the Time Machine volume's root folder to find the cookie. I did sudo cp -v /Volumes/[volumename]/.[macaddress] /var/db/.TimeMachine.Cookie which resulted in cp: /Volumes/[volumename]/.[macaddress]: No such file or directory. where [volumename] is the volume name and where [macaddress] is my computer's MAC address. Unresolved, no more time right now to troubleshoot. Usual oatmeal breakfast. Helped student PY with a question about email. Listserv maintenance. Lots of calendar maintenance. Spent most of the day working on health events process and form for Chris C. Francis R's art reception at Recharge Spa. Late dinner at Miss Saigon Restaurant with Danny, Drew, Chris G, Nate, Romy, Phil, Quyen, Dave, Scott, and Francis. Continued troubleshooting Time Machine, "Backup failed with error: 18", "cookies do not match." I think I resolved the problem with "sudo cp /var/db/.TimeMachine.Cookie /var/db/.TimeMachine.Cookie.backup" followed by "sudo cp -v /Volumes/[volumename]/.[macaddress] /var/db/.TimeMachine.Cookie" where [volumename] is the volume name and where [macaddress] is my computer's MAC address. Troubleshooting this problem was very difficult. I frequently saw very strange things. For example, "sudo chown root .[macaddress]" would result in "chown: .[macaddress]: Operation not permitted." Or, ls -al would result in "ls: .[macaddress]: No such file or directory" followed by the expected directory listing (without the .[macaddress] file). Installed Safari 4.0 on Patrick's computer. Troubleshot the same Time Machine problem on his computer but it was fixed more easily—just forcing Time Machine to do a backup now resolved it. Forced Crashplan to back up.
