Usual oatmeal breakfast. To work. Chatted with Eric D. Sent Eric D examples of how a message he recently sent me from Entourage 2008 contained a URL that got chopped or broken at 76 characters when I viewed it in Outlook 2007. If he sends the same URL from his gmail account, it works fine (is not broken) when received in Outlook 2007. Entourage team: words cannot express this disappointment (one of many). Sent Eric D some info about login screens. Sent SCWG some info about login screens best practices and improvement tips. Made hotel reservations for me and Eric D for Drupal Camp LA in Irvine on August 8 and 9. Fixed a broken link for Shirin and JWG. Today there was a very unusual commotion in the hallway as people from the office across the hall ran out of their office and ran down the hall chasing a woman who had stolen a cellphone from a purse after entering the office. In the excitement, the perpetrator got away but dropped her backpack, and afterwards they found that the backpack contained a crack pipe (!) and some information that could possibly identify her. Chatted with Sue about printers. Chatted with Eric D about the RFP. Management activities. Dinner at home with Patrick: ravioli and sausage in marinara sauce with fresh vegetables. Still troubleshooting iMac problems from yesterday and the day before. I noticed in the menu bar and in Console that when my computer got stuck Sophos was always updating and Time Machine was always running, so I uninstalled Sophos for OS X, restarted, then restarted Time Machine in an attempt to isolate the problem. Time Machine backup completed successfully with no Sophos. Will probably let it stay this way for the next day or two just to be sure. A Panda Express fortune from a while ago that I never entered: Friends long absent are coming back to you. I forgot to use my Google Voice number today in a situation where it would have helped. I decided my Google Voice number can be used for any company since I believe in theory I can block specific callers with Google Voice if a company decides to sell my phone number with or without my permission. Next time I'll remember. Worked on Danny's website and mailing list for Drew. Stretches. Weight training: superslow dumbbell press, wrist curl, reverse wrist curl. Late meal: watermelon juice, hot water, hot nonfat milk, lowfat boysenberry yogurt, leftover couscous and chicken breast.
