Stuff I did today 7/8/05

  3. Ate breakfast, made a cup of coffee
  4. Showered & dressed
  5. Went to work
  6. Watched the Ken Ham video for next week's ABF class.
  7. Went online and printed the instructions for changing my hard drive and DVD.
  8. Printed and tallied distance ed course evaluation feedback.
  9. Made spreadsheet for distance ed course feedback, graphed data, printed out, dropped copies off for the boss.
  10. Called mwave.com and straightened out the order that didn't process--it got stuck on the "verified by visa" step, probably something Firefox didn't like.
  11. Fired up Adobe GoLive and fixed a couple of typos on my online course evaluation page.
  12. Ate a piece of blueberry coffee cake. Heh.
  13. Set up a link in the Finder to connect from my laptop to my Windows desktop machine.
  14. Went online and ordered a hard drive enclosure for the drive I will pull from my PowerBook. Should I order an enclosure for the DVD writer I pull? Hmmm. $50 from mp3car.com, looks nice.
  15. Transferred a font from my Windows machine to my PowerBook, and installed it with Font Book.
  16. Modified several pages on the school web site to have updated brochures.
  17. Gave some instructions to a new client on my server how to set up his email.
  18. Listened to Calvary Quartet all morning.
  19. Talked with Jim about the school website and fixed up a page for him
  20. Went home for lunch with my wife
  21. Added some info to a page on the school website
  22. Checked out stampauctionnetwork.com for any interesting 1909 commems--hm there's a nice 367 FDC mailed 2/12/09 at 8 am, and also a 370 plate/imprint block, nice.
  23. Started up an iTunes podcast, an interview with a fellow from Google. He worked on Google Earth and mentioned the URL.
  24. Downloaded Google Earth from earth.google.com and played with it for a while. It crashed once but I zoomed in on my area, and my sister's house was in one of the higher resolution scans. Kewl.
  25. Listened to a couple of podcasts "Tips from the Top Floor" (digital photography)
  26. Ordered the Slimline DVD enclosure w/FireWire/USB interface. Should be cool.

  29. Read an http://www.cnn.com/2005/WORLD/europe/07/08/london.muslims/index.html?section=cnn_topstories article about the Arab world reaction to the London bombing.
  30. Handled a mis-directed phone call.
  31. Almost time to go home. Maybe I'll read a bit on my PDA while I enjoy my coffee. I'm reading "The Clue of the Twisted Candle" by Edgar Wallace.
