Breakfast at home: nonfat organic vanilla yogurt with fresh, diced organic granny smith apple and sliced kiwifruit. Rode the bus to work. Linkchecking, Flickr work, kiosk work. Confirmed with Robin C that the PNG backgrounds problem is gone for her in IE—the problem was not reproducible by me, and we've had only 2 reports of it in the past year. Met briefly with Susie. Chatted briefly with Eric. Helped Cindy with the graduation ceremony program in InDesign. Met with Cindy, Joel, and Sammie about the supp app's forthcoming back end interface. Lunch: mushroom quesadilla from Carmelina's. Met with Eric about news stories. Completed pcard paperwork. Reported a problem to ITS about a stuck listserv queue for student VN. (The same problem happened to me.) Coded and posted the IRAD Warriors story for Susie. Small edits to a previous news story for Susie. Sent David H some advice about backup and migrate in Drupal. Updated the funding pages, started using Google Chart—it's pretty cool. Minor updates to our scope document. Followup with Kirk H about a web page describing their laptop charging service. Dinner with Will at Masala. Afterwards we went to UCSF night at Nightlife at California Academy of Sciences (aka calacademy). It was his first time to calacademy; he liked it. The night was windy and extremely cold outside. Stopped at Soi Gow where Will got some rocky road ice cream. (I wasn't hungry for dessert, and it was too cold anyway.) Stopped at 828 Irving Market for some groceries.
