6.232 managing, tech

Thursday 07/24/2025

Hit the gym at, would you believe, 6am. Two full rounds of the machines. I did this early because I had a date to walk out for breakfast with Joanne. We walked over to cafe Zoe in Menlo Park. There’s nothing special about Zoe, it’s just a neighborhood coffee place, but it’s a different and more scenic walk than our usual.

It’s irritating that I don’t remember what I did with the rest of the morning. I know I wasn’t idle… well, at 3 I met with John M who is maybe going to take over some of my AV chair duties. We get along well.

Then I took a tech call to help Mary Ann. Her vision is very poor, but she keeps an active email and writers-group presence. She has a Macbook that has been set up with screen zoom which would make the print big enough for her, but the problem is the keyboard — she can’t see well enough to resolve the symbols on the key tops. So she does almost everything with her iPhone, with the font set to almost the max available size. She had a printing problem that we pretty much resolved.
