Slept in I think due to still processing the daylight saving time change. Medium bowl of oatmeal with milk, flax meal, and sliced banana; water to drink. Tested Edit My Record in UCSF Directory to confirm that it does not require VPN, documented the potential error, and notified Alfonz and others. 1:1 with Eric. Chatted briefly with Anne and Eric about Edit My Record. Removed Tom J from some tools we use. Reimported Pinboard bookmarks and resolved dupes in order to resolve missing tags. Lesson learned: Firefox may hang, but it will finish if you leave it alone. So it looks like I'll stop using Pinboard partly due to the doubling of the price (from $11/year to $22/year) but also partly because of non-existant support and slow server response times and incorrect keyboard user interface behavior in the tag field while autocompleting (Enter should select the selected item but doesn't—so annoying). What I'm using instead: exported bookmarks from Pinboard as HTML, imported to Firefox (if many Firefox will appear to hang—just leave it be and it will eventually finish). Still haven't figured out the social sharing part of my solution. Lunch at home: I prepared for myself a noodle soup using leftover noodle soup and fresh mixed greens and chicken broth and shrimp. Water to drink. Completed the facilities satisfaction survey, providing these comments: "Floors and toilets in high-traffic bathrooms need to be a lot cleaner. Once, midday, I found all but one toilet clogged. The Tork paper towel dispensers are awful because if you don't pull them just right with both hands the paper tears away. This wastes little scraps of paper that end up on the sink and floor areas. These scraps clog sink drains. They stick to shoes while walking out. The two-hands requirement is ridiculous. Have you tried getting a paper towel while holding a contact lens with one hand? While holding a baby that vomited? So many problems could be resolved by abandoning the Tork dispensers." More new laptop setup, mostly resolving problems. If OneDrive icons and options aren't appearing in Finder, unsync then resync the folder. If Cmd+Space Spotlight fails to work, try Cmd+Option+Space instead or resync your folders expecting to sync. If Spotlight fails to show results for what you typed, just wait a few minutes or try Cmd+Option+Space. It might be reindexing. If selecting a OneDrive folder in Spotlight does nothing, avoid selecting ones with a cloud icon and instead select the same-named folder with a folder icon. Afternoon snack: whole-grain crackers with flax seed topped with Tillamook sharp cheddar (cold). Docker setup on new laptop. I ran in place while playing Frogger in Toy Town on Apple Arcade on Apple TV. Dinner at home with Patrick: broccoli frittata with avocado slices, water. Cocktails: I prepared Blind Lemon Jeffersons for us. I washed dishes. We watched The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel s3:e6 on Amazon Prime Video then standup comedy on YouTube. Patrick went to bed. I washed dishes. Read and provided notes on a draft of Patrick's second story in his new short story collection. Late snack: hummus with celery sticks, whole-grain crackers with flax seed, unsalted cashews, water.
