Breakfast at home with Patrick: red onion scramble with mixed cheeses, hash browns, hot water. Rode my bike to work. I didn't put enough air in the rear tire. Listserv management: annual usage reminder, one add for Tanishia B. Announced new mice for shared office laptops to the office staff. Posted updated fall draft schedules for Lucia. Chatted with Eric about my UPS being discovered overloaded while I was gone. No easy resolution since the problem never happens when I'm in the office. I suspect the cleaning staff plugs the vacuum cleaner into it. Lots of listserv management. Sent the websteering lunch reminder. Played with our CQ5 test site, encountered and reported some problems. Conference call and demo with TERMINALFOUR. Prepared the student leadership group facebook sheet for Cindy. Supp app project work in Drupal: reset payment for 2 applicants, did an import. Responded to an entering student about computer requirements. Updated the list of students spreadsheet on the network to remove the recent graduates. Stopped by to check in with Rodney but I was too late; he had already left for the day. Reviewed an RFP reply for ImageX Media. Played more with our CQ5 test site. It looks very pretty but the interface seems to require a lot of repetitive actions in order to get common things done. Set up Apple Mail and iCal because I was tired of Outlook not finding messages when it was supposed to (even with Windows Desktop Search installed). Encountered a lot of problems with Apple Mail asking me for my password repeatedly. I think I resolved it by removing the account from both Mail and iCal and then deleting appropriate keys in the Apple Keychain and then readding the account in Mail. Linkchecking, Flickr work, kiosk work. Rode my bike home. Stopped at the bike shop on the way home, got some advice about pumping air. Home. Filled my tires with air more properly than before. Dinner at home with Patrick: we each had half of a veggie quesadilla, side of refried beans, really tasty sliced heirloom tomatoes topped with sour cream and cilantro, side of 4 TJ's breaded shrimp, hot water. Edited and uploaded photos. Drink: semi-homemade watermelon lemonade.
