Breakfast: an apple. Walked and rode Muni to UCSF Laurel Heights. Siteimprove work. Sprint standup. Several pages in our website were unresponsive or serving errors. Eric and James worked with Eric G to resolve it; an update by someone outside of our SOP team broke field collections in specific cases. More Siteimprove work. Received an unsolicited phone call from 650-488-8585 claiming to be from the Social Security Administration which I presume to be a spammer or scammer since this phone number does not appear on any legitimate website for the SSA. Walked to the Richmond for lunch at Le Soleil (415-668-4848, 133 Clement Street): lemongrass beef lunch special with not-spicy nuoc mam, thai iced tea. Food and drink were both pretty perfect. Super-tender beef, crispy imperial rolls, served suitably hot. I wish only that the beef was sliced into smaller pieces; when they are long strips it's significantly more work to distribute portions of beef across other bites during the meal, especially with no knife. $24.12 after a $3.50 tip. From my receipt, my server's name was Admin. Service can be a bit slow here; it seemed like there was only one or two servers for the entire restaurant. Committed a styling fix to resolve a problem following backend resolution of this morning's outage of some of our pages. Walked and rode Muni to dinner with Patrick at Revelry Bistro (415-241-6833, 297 Page Street). Sparkling water to share. Bread and butter for the table. Patrick had the early bird three-course prix fixe ($42) and chose carrot-ginger soup, salmon with asparagus and mashed potatoes, and creme brulee. I had the early bird two-course prix fixe ($34) and chose carrot-ginger soup and potato gnocchi with diced zucchini and sliced mushrooms. We enjoyed the meal. Patrick wished he had less or skinnier asparagus. Service was very good. Walked to New Conservatory Theatre Center for a production of the off-Broadway musical The View Upstairs by Max Vernon and directed by Ed Decker. Rode UberX home.
