Breakfast at home: I prepared for myself two eggs scrambled with fresh thyme and grated black pepper, one hash brown with ketchup, one chicken apple sausage link, one pint of hot water. Walked and rode Muni to UCSF Laurel Heights. Sprint standup. #betterposter followup with Sophia and Russ. Calendar management. Forwarded a request from Marley to Grant. Rebuild logo packages for the school and departments to include EMF and SVG file formats. Updated logo usage instructions on the web. No lunch; snacked on unsalted peanuts and unsalted pretzels. Installed Adobe updates and was very happy to see the new UI scaling feature which enables you to make the user interface elements larger. This helps a lot on larger displays. Reinvestigated font embedding and hyperlinks in SVG files. It looks like Nano can be used to solve the former problem. The jury is still out on the latter problem. Neither Adobe InDesign nor Adobe Illustrator seem to preserve hyperlinks when the destination is an SVG file. I discovered Vecta, and it does preserve the hyperlink, but it also adds target="_blank" to the link, which I do not want. Next to try: Omnigraffle and Visio. Walked and rode Muni to the Castro. Met Patrick for dinner at Thai House Express: two Thai iced teas, corn fritters to share. Patrick had fried chicken with sticky rice. I had beef noodle soup with egg noodles. No dessert. Afterwards we attended and enjoyed a panel discussion called In Search of Stonewall at the GLBT Historical Society moderated by Will Roscoe and with panelists Jewelle Gomez and Marc Stein. Patrick chatted briefly with Jewelle before it began, and I remet Jewelle and met Will.
