1 muffin, 1 banana, 8 ounces of Smart Balance nonfat milk. To work. Linkchecking. Followup with student LC about computer maintenance. Small edits to the PID page for Shirin. Sent feedback to Ann about the TLC program and events PDF. Contacted the Tech Store to get a quote on Acrobat X and InDesign CS5—the others in my office are overdue for upgrades. Convinced Kerry C at DLS to leave Eric off of the support contract but still permit him access to our shared files on the network. Followup and code fixes regarding Susan C and our job postings page. Lots of calendar management. Lunch from Carmelina's: roasted veggie burrito. Snack: seaweed, 2 vanilla blueberry muffins. Supp app project work in Drupal, some with Eric D helping. Ordered a replacement UPS battery for Carol. Dinner at home: garlic bread with artichoke spread, organic spaghetti with TJ's meatless meatballs and organic grated parmesan, hot water. Read more from Patrick's draft of a new novel. Registered as an Apple Developer only so that I can report a bug. Reported bug #8869612. Summary: iCal alarms interrupt movies played with DVD Player. Steps to Reproduce: 1. Create a calendar item with an alarm 15 minutes into the future where the alarm type is "message with sound". 2. Insert a DVD movie and watch it for at least 15 minutes. Expected Results: I'm watching a movie, so I don't want iCal alarms to interrupt it. The Mac knows I'm watching a movie, so it seems obvious that it should do the right thing and not interrupt my movie. Actual Results: The iCal alert interrupts the movie. A dialog appears quite annoyingly in the center of the screen on top of the movie you were watching. Regression: (null). Notes: If you think people really want iCal alarms to interrupt movie playback, I suggest putting a checkbox option in iCal preferences so that people can choose the behavior they prefer. Worked on the Recharge website for Drew.
