Breakfast at home: 2 small, sliced green apples; hot water. Rode my bike to work. It was my first time riding my bike since my surgery. I felt winded. Linkchecking, Flickr work, kiosk work. Set up 2 Microsoft Wireless Mobile Mouse 3500 mice for the shared office laptops. Previously I had Logitech bluetooth mice (V470 Cordless Laser Mouse for Bluetooth) that would not stay paired correctly between sessions in Windows 7. (I believe they worked properly with OS 10.6 Snow Leopard.) I thought about getting 2 Apple Magic Mouse mice but Apple doesn't officially support those mice in Windows 7 under Boot Camp. Some third-party solutions claim to exist to enable Magic Mouse to work in Windows in Boot Camp, but I didn't want to have to deal with a third-party solution. The Microsoft Wireless Mobile Mouse 3500 was very easy to install compared to the Logitech bluetooth mouse (V470 Cordless Laser Mouse for Bluetooth). The Microsoft Wireless Mobile Mouse 3500 just worked. The Apple Magic Mouse did not work as expected. The V470 Cordless Laser Mouse for Bluetooth did not work as expected in Windows 7. So far very happy with Microsoft Wireless Mobile Mouse 3500 except that the name is too long and the on-off switch needs to have a fluorescent dot of paint on it or something like that. Web team conference call. Lunch #1: leftover stir fry with rice. Began testing a Canon DR-3010C scanner. The software included with it might not be adequate to meet our workflow needs, so I am pondering the purchase of Omnipage Professional 18 ($499, or $299 for the educational price). Lunch #2 at the cafeteria: 12 ounces of vegetable soup, 1 dinner roll with butter, water; $2.68. Laptop maintenance. Reviewed QBC images with Susie, gathered more images, gathered captions interactively from Susie. Rode my bike home, annoyed by 2 cars that passed me with very little room to spare. Drink: semi-homemade watermelon lemonade. Filled my rear tire with some air. Dinner at home with Patrick: leftover orecchiette with pan-fried tomatoes, mushrooms, onions, and garlic; TJ's chickenless nuggets (they tasted pretty good); organic blue cheese dressing; ketchup; hot water. Edited BBQ photos.
