Breakfast at home with Patrick: scrambled eggs, bacon, sourdough toast with butter, grits, hot earl gray tea. Walked and rode Muni to UCSF Laurel Heights. Sprint standup. Spam management. Lately more and more messages have been making it past our server-side spam filter called Proofpoint even if I have blacklisted those addresses or domains in the Proofpoint interface. In response, I created rules in Outlook Web Access, but ones based on the From field are failing there as well. I am switching to Message Header filters rather than From field, and we'll see how it goes. Resolved broken links pointing to ucsfalumni.org. Completed a request to separate synched pages on grad program websites for Rebecca and Nicole. Resolved markup issues with news pages on the TRANSPERS microsite. Built a filmstrip negative comp effect for Grant in Photoshop. Reviewed Typewolf bonus materials. I did not find the lookbooks very helpful, but maybe in the future. Notified Grant of a display problem on iPad with the filmstrip image he added. Successfully resolved a problem with iOS Simulator crashing upon startup by executing "sudo killall -9 com.apple.CoreSimulator.CoreSimulatorService" followed by "sudo rm -rf ~/Library/*/CoreSimulator" as answered by Paul King and Diego Carrera on Stack Overflow. Archived the SOP IT Wiki then asked Zach S to close the site. Walked and rode Muni home. Dinner at home with Patrick: butternut squash soup with asian pear, curried pepitas, creme fraiche, cilantro; za'atar naan. Patrick began a 24-hour fast after dinner tonight.
