Usual oatmeal breakfast. Installed Backup and Migrate module for Drupal. Updated Drupal core and modules. Installed 960gs fluid for Drupal. Web edits: School of Medicine electives scraper, wireless. Helped student AD with a question about VPN and MyAccess. More Drupal work. For lunch I tried to eat at Bistro 9 but after I was seated, made my decision, and put the menu down no one came to take my order for a really long time, so I got up and left. Nan King Road Bistro instead, hong kong noodles with chicken—so good! More Drupal work: stylesheets. I think the proper order for link state pseudoclasses is: link, visited, focus, hover, active. Dinner at home with Patrick: braised cow with bowties in tomato alfredo sauce, hot water. Watched Once Upon a Time in Mexico (2003) on Netflix DVD with Patrick. 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. I now have "-2" tacked on to the end of my Time Machine drive name when it appears in Console. Before that it was "-1" and I have an idea of what's going on but it creeps me out that this number is increasing. So far, the first backup appears to be working. Worked on a price list for Danny. More Time Machine errors: "Unable to rebuild path cache for source item. Partial source path:" and "Event store UUIDs don't match for volume: Music".
