Rode Uber Pool to UCSF Laurel Heights. Styling work: news series committed. Recommitted the same news series commits to the identity retheme branch I have been working on. Microsites work: followup with PKCourse, all is well. Followup with IT about receiving spam from crainalerts.com. Microsites work: made Savic Lab live, built a placeholder site for Experiential Education and handed it to Stephen B for buildout. Followup tasks for Savic Lab launch. A-Z List work: submitted two requests. Called Sonic and arranged for return of their rented Pace router. Prepped for returning to work on the identity retheme fonts. Lunch at the JCC: chicken sandwich and fries. UCSF shuttle from Laurel Heights to Parnassus with James H. Along the way I continued studying Spanish on Duolingo. School of Pharmacy Town Hall. Errands. Worked from my phone in Kalmanovitz Library: email and Asana task followup. Read the first 12 of 39 pages of the August 2016 editorial style guide from University Relations. It's distributed only as a PDF, so I'm reading it in iBooks. The reading experience is tedious, but it could definitely be worse. Rode Uber Pool home. Chatted briefly with upstairs neighbor Brandon about waste pickup problems. Dinner at home with Patrick: tandoori chicken drumsticks, leftover steamed white rice, macaroni salad. Spent a lot of time resolving a problem printing from my wifi-connected iMac to a Brother HL-5250DN laser printer which was connected to our router via ethernet. The problem was that before I set up our new TP-Link Archer C7 the printer had had a static IP address while plugged into a different router. Since this printer doesn't have a control panel display, there is no obvious way to check its network configuration directly. The printer did not appear in BRAdmin Light because it was set to a different network. I used the rather cryptic procedure to reset the printer to its default network settings, and then was able to add it in System Preferences Printers and Scanners so that it would work as expected. The other tip that helped was that while the printer is on and in a ready state you can press the Go button three times quickly and it will print three settings pages, the last of which is the network configuration which has some useful information like its current IP address. In all, the solution was very unintuitive, and quite vexing for about 45 minutes. Archived tax documents.
