Ran in place to Why Won't You Date Me? with Nicole Byer with Joel Kim Booster from 2018. Medium bowl of oatmeal with milk and sliced banana; water. Virtual sprint standup. More documenting and adjusting listserv configs. Requested a test dist list to see if I can use a dist list to forward to a listserv so that it has a longer and clearer name. Zoomed with James because I couldn't reproduce his fix for the frame jumping problem when creating a link. He will do a fresh db pull and again try to reproduce. He could not reproduce. I did a fresh db pull and could not reproduce the fix in Firefox but I could in Safari and Chrome. We Zoomed again. I turned off all Firefox add-ons, and that did not resolve it. Eventually James figured out that it was one line of CSS causing the problem. He's definitely a smart one. Patrick made cornbread today using a recipe found on the internet. We had a small bite, and he later had a larger slice with his lunch. I ran errands (mailed the iPhone 3GS to Apple, stopped at the drug store and liquor store) and lunch to go from King of Thai Noodle, placing an order in person via my voice while masked: pork pad kee mao not spicy, thai iced tea. I also ordered crispy wonton skins but they told me they were out. Orgchart work for Anne: EE. Continued reading Reimagining Collaboration. I postponed my Filoli gathering with Chris D and Eric S due to the ongoing COVID-19 Delta surge. I don't get a refund, but I'll consider it a donation to a worthy organization. We had decided to gather and had ordered our tickets 10 days ago, and the COVID stats just kept getting worse and for SF are now about the same as the worst we experienced last winter. The vaccines have helped alleviate some anxiety, but Patrick and I are still very cautious and not wanting to get COVID even if we won't be hospitalized or die since there's still a chance of ongoing or long-term health problems or of unwittingly passing it to others more vulnerable than us. I guess we are settling in for another few months of self-isolation as much as we can. Dinner at home with Patrick: creamy tagliatelle with mushrooms, water. I had a glass of white wine. Afterwards we watched Earth at Night in Color s1:e4 on Apple TV+ then Behind the Attraction s1:e4 on Disney+. We continued playing Little Orpheus: balloons and air ducts. Patrick went to bed. I washed dishes. Troubleshot and resolved problems with a CCC backup script due to recent restart of devices on the network. Late snack: whole wheat pita with hummus, water. Prepared more things for proper disposal: expired medications, used cooking oil, fluorescent light bulbs. Organized stuff. Weeded paper business cards.
