Stuff I did today 7/8/05
- Ordered my hard drive
- Tried to order DVD writer, online process didn't work, will have to call
- Ate breakfast, made a cup of coffee
- Showered & dressed
- Went to work
- Watched the Ken Ham video for next week's ABF class.
- Went online and printed the instructions for changing my hard drive and DVD.
- Printed and tallied distance ed course evaluation feedback.
- Made spreadsheet for distance ed course feedback, graphed data, printed out, dropped copies off for the boss.
- 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.
- Fired up Adobe GoLive and fixed a couple of typos on my online course evaluation page.
- Ate a piece of blueberry coffee cake. Heh.
- Set up a link in the Finder to connect from my laptop to my Windows desktop machine.
- 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.
- Transferred a font from my Windows machine to my PowerBook, and installed it with Font Book.
- Modified several pages on the school web site to have updated brochures.
- Gave some instructions to a new client on my server how to set up his email.
- Listened to Calvary Quartet all morning.
- Talked with Jim about the school website and fixed up a page for him
- Went home for lunch with my wife
- Added some info to a page on the school website
- 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.
- Started up an iTunes podcast, an interview with a fellow from Google. He worked on Google Earth and mentioned the URL.
- 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.
- Listened to a couple of podcasts "Tips from the Top Floor" (digital photography)
- Ordered the Slimline DVD enclosure w/FireWire/USB interface. Should be cool.
- Worked for a good share of the afternoon without interruption on some academic achievement statistics, recalculating some percentiles and graphing them out.
- Made a cup of coffee
- 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.
- Handled a mis-directed phone call.
- 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.
