Usual oatmeal breakfast. To work. Listserv management. Web edits followup with Susie. Made live web updates for SCWG (email setup). Followup with recent grad MB about accounts closure. Cindy's cdrom drive wasn't working properly, so I copied files from a cdrom and moved them to the network for her. UCSF ComNet weeding followup. Web edits for Cindy: health insurance co-pays. Calendar management. Lunch: carne asada fries from Carmelina's. Helped student BP with how to email all students. More followup with Tamer S about students not receiving confirmation messages. Eric and I began work on the facelift today. "Facelift" is our nickname for our home page refresh to pharmacy.ucsf.edu. We both were reluctant to do it at first because we both thought it wasn't needed, but I'm glad now that we are doing it. We spent about 6 person-hours on it today. I will try to keep track of how long it takes. 47 items in my inbox. To home. Dinner at home with Patrick: leftover Thai food, garlic naan. Dessert: fresh strawberries for Patrick, fresh sliced strawberries and cherry vanilla ice cream for me. Uploaded photos to Flickr. Discovered posterous from funcrunch's delicious stream. My delicious bookmark note for it: "lifestreaming and autocrossposting via email - the social web just got a little bit scarier." Pretty soon the companies that aren't providing APIs and the companies that don't figure out how to use APIs are no longer going to be very relevant. MailChimp is one company that seems to be at the forefront of API handling. Weight training: superslow dumbbell fly, superslow wrist curl, superslow front raise.
