“Erk”, is all I can say right now. Please read on!

Yesterday I started to spot forum/email and chat messages indicating a new Gmail change sweeping through the userbase. The problem was most irritatingly manifesting itself as the Welcome screen reappearing. With the help of Harvey Bock, Frank Schneider and as ever, Paul Thompson aka Captbunzo (who went as far as to give me access to his Gmail, which was key in fixing the problems!), the Welcome screen issue is now resolved.

So that’s the good. The bad is, it would appear that for the most part, Preview/Auto-Label has died. I’m not sure why this is yet, but I’ll begin looking into this in earnest over the coming days. I’m concerned, though, that it is serious, ugly even….

You see GTDInbox 2.1 has been steadily progressing for over a month now. It’s much much more useful, but it relies more heavily than ever on close access to Gmail. I’m deeply unsettled that the thing that has broken 2.0.8.2 has broken 2.1, and isn’t in anyway easy to remedy

So here we are. Please download 2.0.8.4 to deal with the Welcome Screen, and wish me luck while I set about figuring out how to resurrect Preview/Auto-Label and ultimately 2.1.

In what must surely be MeeTimer’s first update in a year (it has its problems, but I’m impressed it’s lasted that long without a hiccup – that puts GTDInbox firmly in its place!), it’s had the necessary surgery to make it work with Firefox 3.

You can download it directly here (click MeeTimer 0.22), or wait for Mozilla to update it on their servers.

Several months ago a good lad called Abhijeet Mukherjee got in touch to ask for a little help promoting his then brand new blog, http://www.jeetblog.com/. I was genuinely impressed with the lengths he’d gone to to finance it and the effort he put into it, and pencilled him in for a blog post to give him a little boost

However, time conspired against me and it kept slipping back & back, and so this is a very belated effort on my part! The good news is JeetBlog has been flying along on its own, so he doesn’t really need this

Regardless, as a fellow GTDInboxer, a fellow striver, and someone who cares deeply about productivity, I hope the audience here will find the tips & material at JeetBlog enlightening! All the best Abhijeet.
