It seems that a combination of a change to gmail and a new version of Firefox are making gmail, well, not work in Firefox today - and non-Firefox users are having issues too.

Luckily, [livejournal.com profile] affectingly noticed a tiny link at the top of the gmail page to allow you to use the "older version" - I clicked on it, and everything works perfectly, squee.

Also, remember how I mentioned giving up the sidekick for the Sprint Mogul? It's not working as well as I'd hoped, so the full switch may not be happening. If only I had a way to back up my email on a sidekick, I would keep it forever....

Sigh.

That's National Blog Posting Month, where I try to post every day in November. Last year I managed it, and hopefully this year, I will as well.

1. Halloween was terrific - we feared a tropical storm but there was no rain at all after about 4:30 and the kids had a wonderful time. For those of you who're parents - did any of you get some really old-fashioned (well, 70s style) candy from your kids' bags? I snared something that claimed to be a Sugar Mama (as well as a Sugar Daddy and two packs of Sugar Babies) but they weren't chocolate covered so I think they're a bit of a parody; my husband scooped the Razzles out of our sons' bags.

2. I'll be in Orlando next Friday & Saturday! Come hang out!

Next Friday (that's November 9) at 6 PM at Universal Studios Orlando (exact location to be announced soon), a bunch of us from HPEF and INFINITUS 2010 are going to kick off our Planning Season over libations and nibbles, so everyone can learn more about the event and Universal's Harry Potter plans while we're in town for our first site visit.

Everyone is welcome but we need you to RSVP here, here on this LiveJournal, or by emailing me so I can send you the EVITE for the event. Please, anyone in the Central Florida area - we hope to see you there, and feel free to forward the info about the event around!

3. I'm giving up my Sidekick. I got an amazing deal on a new HTC thing from Sprint, and since it doesn't seem like Apple is going to introduce that oft-rumored MacBook Nano any time soon, and since I still love the "widescreen" style and keyboard of the sidekick, but hate the limits on the mailbox size, I'm giving the sidekick up. I will miss it, but it'll be worth it to have gtalk in mobile mode!

4. I'm just going to post a never-to-be-finished micro-ficlet that I started last week and probably will never finish involving a missing scene from last week's Supernatural... )

4. On the agenda for tomorrow, hopefully finishing my first SPN vid...

ETA: OMG! Led Zep is totally cursed! They need Winchesters very, very badly!

Endgadget has the announcement about the new Sidekicks, which will be out next month, and in November. Tiny image of the LX behind the cut )

What do you think?

[Poll #1061468]

I got a Sidekick Color in June of 2003, and I loved it very much - that's the gadget that's in the icon for this post. But it was big and bulky and when the SK2 came out I got it the week it was released. But the keyboard started to pull up, so when the SK3 came out I needed something with a working keyboard, so I got that as soon as it came out, and it has served me very, very well for the last 16 or so months.

And I'm not 100% sure that I'm going to go for the SK LX (I need the camera, so the Slide isn't an option for me). I'm contented with my 3, and I may decide to treat myself to having it painted pale pink, rather than spring for the LX, but I'm open to arguments as to (a) why I should get the LX or (b) why I should get something else with a QWERTY keyboard, camera, push email, an integrated web browser, YM and AIM.

Advise me, please!

From Sidekick3 at Blogspot, the place for SKIII rumors...

The Sidekick 2's 6MB email account will be upgraded to a 10MB account in the Sidekick 3 without a MiniSD card.

Thanks. I needed that.
And supposedly, having a MiniSD card allows you to have a larger email box?

FINALLY. If this is true, it's ABOUT bloody time!
