Ran in place to most of Abstract: The Art of Design: Season 1: Ilse Crawford: Interior Design on Netflix instant watch. Breakfast at home: oatmeal with milk, cinnamon, blueberries, diced peach, diced banana; half cup of hot coffee with milk. Worked from home. Slack sprint standup. Followup with Seiple Group re: their website server migration causing their site to be hidden behind the firewall; they are resolving the issue. Followup with Angela about an editing help request; she was able to complete the task on her own with some guidance. Followup with Marley about a question about Tina B whose status I discovered is WOS. Followup with Katherine K and Cheryl C about adding historical references to our Tsinghua partnership to the history microsites for BTS and PC. Investigated and resolved an error in our Mailchimp database that had been introduced by erroneous imported data from UDAR. Worked through the issue queue, keeping tasks moving along and closing others that needed to be closed. Lunch at home: leftover volcano rice with tofu, water. Edited a news story for Levi. Edited and posted two event listings for Caroline L. Added a new, small table of statistics to a page only super admins can edit for Nicole F. Read NNGroup's email newsletter. Removed the ability for png files to be uploaded to some of our sites. Followup with Angela and Marley about missing joint faculty on the CP website. Edited a page for Rebecca B. Converted many previously uploaded png files to jpg. Dinner at home with Patrick: mozzarella, tomato, and zucchini hot tartines on homemade sesame semolina bread with a side of buttered corn on the cob, white wine, water. Dessert: banana fritter with Patrick's no-churn cinnamon ice cream. Afterwards we watched Wallace and Gromit: A Close Shave on Amazon Prime Video, troubleshooting a variety of video playing problems in the process. Troubleshot missing iTunes movies. I connected with Apple Support Chat but eventually on the call I found the answer on my own in the iTunes User Guide: "To see purchases you’ve hidden, choose Account then View My Account, sign in, then click Manage to the right of Hidden Purchases (below iTunes in the Cloud). To make a hidden item visible again, click the item’s Unhide button." It's not intuitive to find hidden purchases under something called "View My Account." I don't even know how they got hidden. I have no reason to hide them, and I know Patrick had no reason to, either. So strange.
