Skipped breakfast. To work. Reconfigured DNS because I wasn't able to connect to certain network folders using the textual domain name (but the IP address would work), solved the problem with Tran's help. Helped student PN find our antivirus software. We recently switched from Sophos to Symantec Endpoint Protection (SEP) for Windows only. Security software followup with Vick G. 1-on-1 work session with Eric: we experimented with 2static.it to improve the speed of our website. It was very easy to set up, and it worked. It's still in beta, so I'm not wanting to use it for our production site, but we got a few more points in Page Speed with the changes, so we now know firsthand the proof of the value of serving static content from a cookieless domain. City tours edits for Shirin. Drupal webinar about modules in Drupal 7. Drupal 7 looks to be a really nice piece of work. Lunch: leftovers from yesterday's lunch. More city tours edits for Shirin. Snack: 2 small pink lady apples. Left work. Chatted with Shirin on the N train to Powell. Osha Thai on Geary with cousin Jeanne and her friend Lindsay. Afterwards we had drinks at Rye and met with more of Jeanne's childhood friends: Jenny, Alex, Yen-Ting, Tien. To home. Chatted with Ian and Travis from upstairs: oil stains, postal access to the mailbox, dome light in Trooper. Linkchecking for home websites. Restored /usr/local/bin from Time Machine backup because rsync was missing. Chatted with Amtrak on the phone. Late meal: leftovers. Washed dishes.
