firefox tooltip strangeness

A few days ago I installed a few new extensions in firefox (the accessibility toolbar, the del.icio.us bookmarks etc.) and suddenly I lost all tooltips within firefox!

No tooltips on pages, on the toolbars or with forecastfox/gmail manager etc.

I looked all around the web and forums and could I find anything, well no!

But then doing a google for +firefox +disable +tooltip I found this post and indeed it turns out that this, somehow, had been set to false!  So I changed it to true and we’re all back in business.  I’m not sure what extension did it though…

another way to sync my ipod with google calendar!

I found this post with a very long url and it looked very interesting.

However, the wget archive mentioned doesn’t seem to be around anymore.

But not to be deterred, I tried it using the files from this archive: http://www.christopherlewis.com/WGet/WGetFiles.htm and success!

But it wasn’t quite that easy… I had to change a couple of things in the bat file to get it to work!

My bat file now looks something like:

cd Calendars
..\wget -t 45 -N http://www.google.com/calendar/ical/the-rest-of-your-private-ical.ics

Because:

Stick a shortcut to the bat file on your desktop (or wherever) and updating your google calendar and ipod is a ’sync’h ;-)
