Breakfast at home: egg and cheddar on english muffin, 6 ounces of carrot juice. Rode Muni to UCSF Parnassus. Sprint standup. Responded to a student with a question about encryption. Met with some OSACA staff to help them better understand how to configure a laptop or iPad with a projector. Followup tasks to the meeting: labeled adapters, installed drivers for an ethernet-to-usb adapter, wrote cheat sheets for the laptop's Windows and Mac desktops. Resolved a problem with Megan's iPad failing to charge by performing a hard reset, closed the IT ticket she opened yesterday in case I could not get to it first. Followup with IT to clean up entries in our AD OU. Late lunch from Ladle and Leaf, ate in Saunders Court: pair: chicken avocado sandwich and brussels, kale, and quinoa salad. Tried helping Joel with a probably corrupted DAT (NK2) file storing AutoSuggest entries for Outlook and only partially resolved the problem. Watched the new OK Go video "Upside Down and Inside Out"—another amazing and fun video. Lots of computer maintenance: updates for Chrome, Firefox, Java; gathered IP address, MAC address, and faceplate info for an a security audit. Rode Muni home ordering dinner from my iPhone 6 Plus via GrubHub. Dinner at home with Patrick: delivery from Sri Thai: samosas, tom kha soup, mas samun curry, pad kee meo, steamed white rice, two thai iced teas. Watched OK Go "Upside Down and Inside Out" with Patrick. Finished computer maintenance remotely via Remote Desktop Connection for Mac. Stayed up late baking pumpkin bread.
