Walked to Noriega Street. Bought donuts at Twisted Donuts and Coffee. Walked to Judah Street. Rode Muni to UCSF Parnassus. Office party at the OSACA. I brought donuts and donut holes. Lisa also brought donuts. Leslie brought dim sum: ha gow and shau mai. Others brought watermelon and cantaloupe, blueberry muffins, blueberries, strawberries. UCSF shuttle from Parnassus to Laurel Heights. Styling work in Drupal. Experienced a lot of crashes in Outlook 2016 for Mac. Email followup. UCSF shuttle from Laurel Heights to Parnassus and UCSF shuttle from Parnassus to Mission Center Building, chatting with Brian A along the way. We talked about the new theme for the Drupal Starter Kit, UCSF, Parnassus buildings, San Francisco, Oakland, photography. Drupal Users Helping Users meeting. Installed Office 2016 for Mac on my office laptop. UCSF shuttle from Mission Center Building to Parnassus. Rode Muni home. While arriving home I saw one of our upstairs neighbors returning home on a skateboard and carrying a very large dining table. Dinner at home with Patrick: soft tacos. Cocktail: one part Boylan's cream soda with one part whipped cream vodka stirred with ice. I call it the Doppia Crema. Dessert: tiramisu. Spent several hours setting up a Sound Blaster X-Fi Surround 5.1 Pro audio adapter (aka sound card) and troubleshooting the configuration. I have it seemingly working but I'm not entirely certain if I'm better off than I was without it. Surround sound with an iMac and a speaker system that decodes Dolby AC-3 surround sound is extremely non-intuitive and an excellent example of something that doesn't just work with Apple. Do I still need the TOSLINK to optical mini cable? I think no, but if I remove it, things don't work correctly. On the Logitech Z906 controller do I choose input 1 or input 3? Input one is for the 6-channel input; input 3 is for the digital input. I leave it on 3 because it works and input 1 doesn't. Input 1 gives me helicopter rapid-click noise. Recharge Spa work for Chris: more October newsletter build. Submitted my color and add-on choices for the Everyday Messenger Kickstarter I backed.
