Breakfast at home: organic lowfat plain yogurt with fresh, sliced banana, granola. Rode the bus to work. I missed the 66 by less than a minute, so I walked to 19th Avenue and got on a 28L. The bus seemed to be moving very slowly. All traffic going in our direction seemed to be moving very slowly. After perhaps 20 minutes I got off near Moraga and walked to Judah. From 19th and Judah I could see emergency vehicle lights near 19th and Lincoln. I didn't see an N train, so I started walking down Judah. When I got near 17th I saw an N train letting about half the people off. As I continued walking, I saw that 2 cars had gotten into an accident exactly on the tracks. The train did not seem to be involved, but it was stuck behind the 2 cars. I eventually walked the rest of the way to work. A waste of $2, but it wasn't really Muni's fault, oddly enough. Michael W, Rodney, Cindy, and I met to review Michael and Rodney's findings in their testing of a virtual desktops environment for our IRC computer lab. We decided in the end to not do virtual desktops because we don't have a large enough lab to see the benefits—it works better when you have much larger numbers of workstations involved. Lunch: butter leaf lettuce salad with grated carrot, sliced mushrooms, pepper ranch dressing. Doctor appointment. PID work for Shirin. Supp app project work in Drupal: tried to wrangle the PDF print stylesheet but couldn't get it to do what I wanted. Coded and staged the proposed computer requirements for 2011. Worked late. Dinner at Panda Express: steamed rice with green beans and tofu. Rode the bus home. My fortune: The riches of others makes you more valuable. Uploaded Asia trip photos to Flickr. Late meal: fried rice with tofu, spinach, grated carrot, mushroom, garlic, soy sauce. My fortune (bonus 2nd cookie from Panda Express): Your efforts are budding; results will appear soon.
