Removed vacation notices on voicemail and email. Installed VWware Fusion 2.0.4, Adium 1.3.5. Spent the morning catching up on email—not too bad. The UC budget situation has gotten worse—today the dean sent an email saying that the budget cuts for the next fiscal year are over 3 times what we thought they were a few weeks ago (22% instead of 6.8%). And, of these cuts, 10% will be permanent. President Yudof has proposed 3 scenarios for how to address the problems with various combinations of salary reductions and furloughs. These will be decided in mid-July by the UC Regents. Much is uncertain. Lunch at desk: roast turkey sandwich, unsugared graham crackers, water. Spent the afternoon coding JavaScript for the new supp app. While riding the bus home today I missed my stop because I was playing with my iPhone. Chatted briefly with Melissa today—she's starting a new one-year law program at NYU this fall. Dinner at home with Patrick: side salad and roast chicken with garlic, yellow bell peppers, mushrooms, olives. Small website edits for Drew. Worked on logos, documents, and website for Corinna. Began backing up the Music volume to a different drive so that I can send in the miniStack v2 for repair. Baked and frosted chocolate cupcakes.
