Breakfast at home: oatmeal with fresh sliced organic banana, organic cinnamon, organic nonfat milk. Stretches. Weight training: advanced one-arm one-leg plank. To work. Completed print stylesheet work on our facelift project. Followup on student awards dinner AV setup for Cindy. Added Rodney and Eric as admins to our 2 shared office laptops. Linkchecking. Management activities. Chatted with Eric D about a new announcements archive page. Web update: entering students page, new new student page. 1-on-1 with Cindy. Management activities. Decided to ask DLS to install PGP full disk encryption on our 2 shared office laptops within the next 4 months. Web updates: board of advisors for Paula. Bought an IronKey 2 GB at the techstore, played with an iPad for the first time—very nice. Bought some snacks: soy crisps, honey green tea Honest Tea. Facelift project work with Eric D. We resolved a problem in which IE8 in compatibility mode would crash after a few seconds of mousing around on our new homepage. It took us a long time to track down the line of code causing the problem because the debugger gave us nothing—it seemed like IE7 just plain couldn't do simple math. Eventually we figured out that one function was being called repeatedly when it should not be. The solution we eventually found was Ben Altman's jQuery resize event. To home. Drove to Chris and Nate's where I ate some crackers and drank some water. From there, we 3 took BART to Jen's. She drove us to Old Oakland where we had a very delicious dinner at Le Cheval. Service was unacceptably inattentive, but we didn't let it ruin our meal.
