The standard view of gmail was not working in firefox. I was not too fussed immediatly, as I have better things to do and the HTML version was working… However, looking for the answer via Google led me to a forum and the advice
Clear your cache. Tools –> Options –> Advanced –> Network, Clear Now button.
Which did the trick for me.

I found a link to a review of 5 Mind Mapping Applications I have been giving Free Mind a run for now. Just to save another source of paper, now i can make notes, and use mind mapping as an early stage in writing new documents.
Incase you are wondering, Freemind is getting test driven first.

I have been playing with USB keys on and off for the last week now. In part this is to run my GTD tools on a pen drive so i always have them with me (i plan to set up sync with the web….) and then i realised that I would like my data encrypted.
I’m now using Truecrypt to encrypt my data and MoWeS to run the web server. Both can be configured so that when you put the USB stick into the PC they autorun (so much as is allowed by windows) but how about auto running Truecrypt to access the data, and then running MoWeS once my encrypted drive is mounted?
I have now discovered AutoIt in which I have written a script to do the work for me. I now get prompted for a password, then the data is mounted, and MoWeS started. when i stop MoWeS the drive automatically dismounts. The next step would be to get the USB key to eject itself too, but this is enough for me for now…

I wonder if a Nokia 6300i with wi-fi ability will let me use hot spots in say McDonalds, or on National Express trains for a bit of light browsing…. Anyone know?

I use WP-define to give definitions like the explanation of what GTD means. (hover your cursor over GTD, and you will see what I mean)
I discovered that I couldn’t change the settings on the plugin, so i installed the latest version. That still didn’t work - the link to the settings page was broken….
I opened the plugin itself for editing within wordpress, and found the line that said
add_options_page("Definitions", "WP-Define", 1, 'wp-content/plugins/wp-Define/manage_wp-define.php');
and changed to
add_options_page("Definitions", "WP-Define", 1, 'plugin-editor.php?file=wp-Define/wp-Define.php');
And now it works.

If yoy are trying to use list-style-image then the image wants to be located relative to the style sheet.
So in the case of a wordpress installation, I have just located them in the directory of the theme I am using.

I was aware of a problem with the way in which Garmin saves historical tracks, in that it strips out the time stamping data, and this makes it no use for OSM, (or I guess for geotagging photos either.)
The good news is that this does not apply to the tracks that are automatically stored on an inserted Micro SD card, at least not in my Vista HCx. I have set my unit to log to the card as well as its internal memory. When accessing my tracks using the mapsource manager i only access the current track, but if i put the GPS into USB Mass Storage mode, then i can browse a series of tracks, with one .gpx file per day.
I have pulled back these tracks, and successfully managed to upload one to the open street map.
