Sat May 1, 2010
Breakfast at home: oatmeal with fresh sliced organic banana, organic cinnamon, organic nonfat milk. Cleaned sticky goop and other messes off my car. Said hello to Kamran who was returning home with what looked like an antique radio under his arm. Errands: dropped off laundry with Wendy, picked up shoes from shoe shine, drug store items at Walgreen's, grocery shopping at Safeway (forgot to bring my Safeway gift card along). While running errands I also stopped in to browse at Noriega Furniture. I love that place! The fine furniture is so fine and there's so much of it that it puts a smile on my face just being around it. The sales staff are very friendly, even to me. (I don't think I look like a likely buyer.) I spent only a few minutes in the store, but I lost track of how many times I was acknowledged or asked if I needed assistance after 5 times. I did not know until one of the sales staff mentioned it that there is a downstairs showroom as well. Their collection seemed to be mostly but not exclusively Stickley and Mission. If you're looking for fine furniture you can't go wrong coming here. Cut my hair, showered. Dinner at home: burritos with organic monterey jack cheese, spanish rice, avocado, pinto beans, mild salsa. Recharge Spa web work: mailing list form mods. Installed Thunderbird 3.0.4, began archiving Recharge Spa email in preparation for migration.
Sun May 2, 2010
Made cocoa and regular rice krispie treats (1 batch each). Breakfast at home: oatmeal with fresh sliced organic banana, organic cinnamon. Lately I've increased my oatmeal consumption by 33%. Before it was 2/3 cup (dry measure) just to get a little more fiber in my diet. Now that Patrick has moved out, I am buying milk in quarts instead of the half gallons we used to have. Brunch at Phil, Drew, and Romy's with Phil, Drew, Romy, Chris, Nate. Gas and car wash at Van Ness and Market. Home. Made risotto with shrimp and asparagus using a recipe from How to Pick a Peach. The risotto box had essentially the same recipe. It took about 45 minutes and now I have way too much leftover risotto. Started with 2 small sweet butter leaf salads with grated organic monterey jack cheese and lowfat ranch dressing, one salad with a torn-up mushroom.
Mon May 3, 2010

Home via DeSoto taxi shared with Lucia followed by the bus. Late meal: 2.2 small burritos with various ingredients as before. Made most of my Facebook information more public than before. I'd always intended most of my info to be public, but automatic privacy settings at some point made it more private than I had wanted.

Wed May 5, 2010
Breakfast at home: oatmeal with fresh diced pink lady apple, organic cinnamon. Spent nearly all of the work day with Eric D on the facelift project: speed improvements. We believe that we resolved a longstanding speed problem with Cufon drawing after a short delay—I had mistakenly put the Cufon replace commands in with our jQuery code. Once we moved it to <head> the slow Cufon issue disappeared. Lunch: leftover risotto, an organic banana. Patrick and I met at the Market and Noe farmer's market where we happened upon Jewelle G and briefly said hello. Dinner at La Med with Patrick: vegetarian middle eastern plate with white bean soup and hot peppermint tisane for Patrick, levant sandwich with white bean soup and mixed berries tisane for me.

Sent the websteering lunch reminder. Email cleanup and followup. Facelift project work. Sent messages to various groups about Drupal. Small pharm sci web edit for Carol. Rode with Cindy, Lucia, and Shirin to Joel's place to pick him up. We parked in Union Square Garage. Graduation banquet on the 32nd floor at the Westin St. Francis. The glass elevator ride along the exterior of the building scared me—I've never been that scared of heights before. Answered this question on Formspring: Question: "If you could only listen to one song for the next month, which would it be?" Answer: "Mr. Blue Sky by Electric Light Orchestra." Answered this question on Formspring: Question: "How old were you the first time you went to disneyland?" Answer: "I don't know exactly, but I probably first visited Disneyland within the first 5 years of my life." Answered this question on Formspring: Question: "Why are people so rarely satisfied with what we have that we constantly seek more or better? by CacaoBean." Answer: "This question can be addressed on a lot of different levels, but I would first like to question your assumption that people are rarely satisfied. Satisfaction can present itself in many ways, and some of them are not obvious. For example, after buying groceries at the supermarket, you go home and store them away. Do you then go right out and buy more groceries? Usually no—you are satisfied with what you have, and there is no seeking more groceries or better groceries—for a little while anyway. After brushing your teeth, do you brush your teeth a second time? No, because you're satisfied with how clean they are at the moment. If you spend a day thinking about all the ways you are satisfied, you might surprise yourself. It's easy to see dissatisfaction in our lives, and it's harder to see satisfaction because satisfaction is much less interesting. With dissatisfaction you have drama, discontent, problem solving, crime, anger, and so forth. You never see daytime talk shows about families that get along perfectly. Back to your question. The easy answer is that it's human nature. How do we know this? Well, we don't—not for certain. But since we can find dissatisfaction and the seeking of more or better in pretty much everyone, we can make this guess. And if you believe that humans don't yet understand human psychology enough to know why humans act this way, then your question currently has no more correct answer than: we don't know. To me *why* people want more or better matters far less than recognizing that finding more or better does not necessarily make you or others happier. Even if it does, that happiness is still temporary. You could spend your whole life fruitlessly searching for the why whereas recognizing the ways you are already satisfied can bring you happiness today."

Chatted with Shirin about digicams and batteries. Facelift project work with Eric D the rest of the day. Lunch at NKRB with Scott E and Eric D. Dentist: I enjoyed my cleaning with Nghi Thu, no problems. To home. Answered this question on Formspring: Question: "How do you have time to answer all these questions? Do you ever sleep?" Answer: "My secret: I don't watch television. Yes—I love sleeping!" Made adjustments to the School's news feed so that dates no longer looked wonky and special characters appear correctly in the new UCSF mobile website at m.ucsf.edu. Dinner at home: leftover noodles from NKRB.
Sat May 8, 2010
Woke late—I had set my alarm but mistakenly left it set to weekdays so it didn't ring. Fast breakfast at home: one organic banana, one organic minneola.

Mark B got back to me today on an email problem I reported on September 25, 2009: "Year 4 PharmD student PL reports that when you create an HTML email message in OWA in IE8 the message displays as expected before sending but when received it displays as plain text in many other email clients including Yahoo! Mail, Gmail, and Hotmail. When the same message is received in OWA in IE8 and Outlook 2007 and Entourage 2008 Web Services Edition, the message displays as expected. The student also says that he or she used to be able to do this with no problem—something changed about a month ago and HTML emails created in OWA in IE8 no longer display as expected in Yahoo!, Gmail, and Hotmail.I was able to duplicate the problem he or she described. Could you please investigate this issue, determine if something about the server changed around a month ago to cause this problem, and resolve if possible, sending me any info you might have on the resolution?" Mark's reply to this problem report: "My apologies in the delay in researching this ticket. I've reproduced the problem and have contacted the email team for input on the cause." Facelift project: image credits for panels, print styles for the navigation page. Pointed student CW to ETS for AV equipment rentals. Management activities. Too tired to cook, so I had dinner at Soi Gow: pad see yew with tofu, hot tea. Muni was painful today. Bus 66 seemed to be down to 1 bus around 6:30 PM and later around 7:30 PM it didn't seem to be running at all. I waited about 10 minutes for bus 44, took it to Forest Hill. It's about 7:50 PM, I think. Next outbound L train in 20 minutes. While waiting, the voice on the loudspeakers said, "2-car L L in 9 minutes. 2-car L L in 12 minutes. 2-car L L in 15 minutes." I looked at the woman sitting next to me, and she looked back, and we both broke out laughing, rolling our eyes, and shaking our heads. "Some system!" she said. To home. House chores: took the trash out, stored dishes. Started laundry, but discovered during the drying phase that the dryer is not working properly, so I left my wet clothes in it, informed the upstairs neighbors via a note, and will call the landlord in the morning. The landlord notified me today that the upstairs neighbors are moving out at the end of June. Dessert: a chocolate chip cookie. Watched Little Miss Sunshine on Netflix DVD.

Sat May 22, 2010
Dropped the car off at the repair shop for maintenance, then realized that I forgot my wallet. I was on my way to brunch with Nate and Jen, so I figured I would pay to take the bus and figure the rest out later. When I got to the bus, the machine that accepts money was broken—the driver just waved me on. Slanted Door with Jen and Nate—a very nice meal. Decided to not run the errand I needed to run in North Beach. Muni to home. Found my wallet. Picked up the car. To home. Continued installing Microsoft XP Mode and Virtual PC on my iMac at home.

Westfield Centre food court: dinner for Danny, a snack for me. I got 2 crispy rolls and a thai iced tea from Coriander Gourmet Thai—$6.02. Dancing at Heaven at Infusion Lounge. Ric asked later how it was. This is what I told him: "My first time. I am told that last time it was dead. This time it was packed. Will it be a new trend? Opening DJ was Alan Bentley. Headliner DJ was Jack Chang (SF debut). Both were good and played pretty standard dance music. There didn't seem to be a dance floor, but Danny told me they opened the back room as a dance floor when we left around—I didn't understand why they kept that room closed for so long. Danny thinks they wanted to make it seem crowded—a good guess. We just danced wherever. Since there wasn't a dedicated dance floor it seemed as though people felt uneasy about dancing. The decor is colored in black and mirrorpolish silver. The lighting is red backlighting and (I think) white halogens—overall pretty dimly lit. Everything looks brand new. I didn't sit, but the booths seemed comfortable. I think the space is unique and that it gives a feeling of luxury. If it were up to me, I think there are too many hard surfaces—the space could benefit from one or two large floral arrangements. Coat check and restroom attendants—no problems. Go-go dancers: very sexy." Met Hiroki, Krystal, Ben, Jason, Andrew, Steven, Keith, Mark and Jason, Kim, Anthony, Phiam.

Wed May 26, 2010
Breakfast at home: almond granola. To work. Laptop maintenance for student LR. Installed VMware Fusion 3.1. Both VMs were super slow afterwards. Also, VMware Tools would not install properly in the XP VM. I think the speed problem was not due to the Fusion upgrade but rather to my deleting a bunch of old snapshots in each. After defragging the XP VM it was fine. I can't remember what I did to fix the VMware tools problem, but it took a long time to solve. Met with Sue to review the html email sending procedure. UCSF farmer's market with Eric D. Bought my Muni pass. Lunch: prawn quesadilla from Carmelina's. Continued laptop maintenance for student LR. Management activities.
