Why aren't my Outlook emails appearing in my Sidebar Email gadget?

All of a sudden I stopped seeing e-mail on my sidebar from Google. The mail comes from an exchange server so I didn't think there was anything on my machine that was causing the problem.
I tried to remove the gadget and ad it back in. I rebooted my computer. Closed and opened outlook all to no avail. 
I was getting ready to remove the google desktop when I found this post:

I followed these directions and my sidebar works again! I must have un-checked that at some point when I was poking around Outlook. I was trying to reduce the load on the memory and Outlook seemed to be a bit of a hog so I started flipping switches! Oops!



Open Outlook and go to "Tools" > "Options" > "Other" > "Advanced Options" > "Add-In Manager." Is "Google Desktop Outlook Addin" listed? If the listing is there, is the box checked?

After I checked that box I was able to get mail on the sidebar again.

How to stop Firebug from jumping to changing code or script

How to keep Firebug from moving focus to changed code First off, I love Firebug ! It is a valuable tool for taking a look "behind the scenes" of the sites I work on. I really like that I can right click on an element and take a look at the code that is driving it. Recently however I have become frustrated with a "feature" of the tool. When looking at code on a page with a dynamic element such as a slide show, lightbox or ad the tool highlights and jumps to the code that has just changed. While I don't remember making any changes to the addin that would cause this to happen I'm not ruling it out. :) Either way, I couldn't figure out how to turn the darn thing off...until now. It's actually very easy. Simply click on the HTML tab and uncheck the Highlight Changes, Expand Changes and Scroll Changes Into View lines. That's it. Really easy! Now I can look at the code I want to inspect without constantly having to scroll back to it or opening the...

Convert columns to rows, or rows to columns

Say you have a column of text: Dairy Meat Beverages Produce That you want to change into a row, like so: Dairy Meat Beverages Produce Or maybe you have a row of data that you want to change into a column. Moving the data manually, one item at a time, would be a tedious process. To save time, you can use the Paste Special command to quickly transpose a column of data to a row of data, or vice versa. Move data between rows and columns Copy the data in one or more columns or rows. Before you paste the copied data, right-click your first destination cell (the first cell of the row or column into which you want to paste your data), and then click Paste Special. In the Paste Special dialog box, select Transpose, and then click OK. You'll find theTranspose check box in the lower-right corner of the dialog box: Starting with your first cell, Excel pastes the data into a row or column. Columns and rows can not overlap. For example, if you select values in Column C, and try to...
