Stretches. Weight training: superslow tricep kickback. Bad Muni day—took an hour to get to work. SCWG meeting. "You cannot install Entourage 2008, Web Services Edition Update on this volume. A version of the software required to install this update was not found on this volume." Yahoo! Pipes work. Web edits for Carol. Closed a workshop for JWG and Scott E. Uploaded a form for Shirin H. Web edits for JWG and Scott E: WES reports. Calendar management. Chatted with Chris C about backup procedures. Lots of Drupal work with Eric D, set up the sandbox, rebuilt the stage. Investigated the disappearance of Eric D's Flash code for our student profiles. They hadn't disappeared; they just weren't in the place we were looking. To home. Console reports many "USBDeviceOpen failed: 0xe00002c5". Restart. Dinner at home with Patrick: Watched the first hour of Firefly "Serenity" with Patrick on Netflix DVD—we both like it. Stretches. Weight training: superslow dumbbell press. Late meal: hot nonfat milk, chunky soup. Lots of computer maintenance for both computers. Time Machine: cookies do not match and backup failed with error 18. Resolved this by turning off Time Machine on both computers, unmounting the Time Machine drive from both computers, turning off the drive for one minute, turning it back on, starting a backup now from my computer. Today during an 18-minute discussion with my bank, they admitted that I discovered a bug in their authentication system. They were very nice about the whole thing, as was I. Chatted over SMS with Brad L about Twitter spam.
