Breakfast at home: organic oatmeal with fresh, organic raspberries and sliced banana; organic cinnamon; organic unsweetened soy milk. Rode my bike to work. First day riding since my toenail removal 2 weeks ago. A little pain when arriving at work, but otherwise not bad. Made the supp app live. Followup with Frances K about 3rd-year listservs. Followup about Rx for Change and resources. Meeting with Eric about The Archive but he didn't show. Maybe his phone is not working properly still? Lunch by myself at Park Chow: sustainable fried fish tacos, minestrone soup, chai tea latte, $21 after tax and tip. Chatted with Peter A about distribution lists and contact groups and his email needs, brought Mike F into the conversation and we all got it sorted out. Supp app followup: problem reported with the payment process: "Transaction Declined—The configuration with processor is invalid. Call Merchant Service Provider." Our MSP is First Bank but I didn't have contact info for them, so I began asking around. Michael N and Kevin L helped me identify Tracy B. It seems the MSP will automatically turn off your account if you don't use it for 6 months. Trouble is our admissions cycle is open only for 6 months of the year, so it sounds like they're shutting it off just before we relaunch after a year. Still working on a solution. Lots of calendar management. Followup with Michael N about Trustwave scans. Listserv management. Updated preview session dates for Shirin. Began writing content for the Planning and Communications minisite. Rode my bike home. Charged my Serfas bike light via USB. Dinner at home with Patrick: 2 eggs over medium with green onions, 2 hash browns, steamed rainbow chard. Installed Office for Mac 2011 on my MacBook Air. Dessert: a small piece of dark chocolate. Uploaded some photos to Flickr. Reviewed a backlog of Flickr activity and mail. Temporarily tried using Option+Space as my keyboard shortcut for Alfred but returned to F15 (iMac, home) and F16 (Mac Pro, work) after realizing that Option+Space conflicts with Alt+Space in Windows in VMware Fusion. 4 messages in my inbox 4 days before Europe trip.
