Thanks for the pointer, and apologies for the late reply. No, I have not tried Track-It, and I doubt I will, just because I stay away from Outlook and Office in general. From what I read in their web site, however, it looks like they could help if I did. Then again, if I did depend on Outlook, I couldn’t easily integrate my Nokia N810 into my workflow that easily. Funny enough, a small group I am working with relies in a Confluence knowledge base (from Atlassian) which we have set up to receive emails (standard functionality, but communicating with Exchange via POP/IMAP), and then implemented the forwarding/reminding functionality through a few macros (also standard in Confluence), with the advantage that the implementation also connects to a team dashboard where all the team activities are managed using a GTD-like methodology (loosely).
Thanks again, I promise to spend some time in the near future looking into Track-It: because of other reasons, my reliance on the N810 and Tiddly for GTD may not be long term any more (then again, that is another post – Cheers!

Thanks for this post! I found it by searching for Outlook Track-It. It's a "GTD" plug-in, or add-in, whatever you wanna call it, for Outlook. Do you have any info on this? As far as I see, its a simple toolbar that reminds you to follow up to emails. It's been a lifesaver this week.. if you know anything else from that programmer, please email me.

Solved! It’s microb – the bundled Mozilla-based browser – configuration.

Partially described here:
http://www.internettablettalk.com/forums/showthread.php?t=21620

The simplest solution is:

* Open a new browser window
* In the address bar, enter:
about:config
* You should see boxes labeled *Name* and *Value*
* Enter these two name, value pairs – Click the “Set preference” button after each:
capability.principal.codebase.p0.granted "UniversalXPConnect UniversalBrowserRead"
and
capability.principal.codebase.p0.id "file://"
* Open your tiddlywiki, change and save. No more confirmation messages (I used to get 17).
* Read more at:

Hope that helps.

Sorry, Cory, haven’t found a way around the messages yet… I must tell you, though, I am using the 1.0 version, not 3.0. I always thought I would get rid of the problem because I would upgrade to 3.0 and tiddlyspot.com “any time now”, but (a) I don’t know if 3.0 addresses the issue and (b) I keep procrastinating the upgrade, I am very familiar with my version…

Hello,

I, too, am a big fan of both my N810 and monkeyGTD. I have my monkeyGTD file on my external SD card on my N810. When I modify monkeyGTD with the N810 native browser and try to save my changes, I receive a barrage of “JavaScript confirmation” messages. Since I always save a backup and RSS feed, I receive a total of 13 such messages. Do you receive the same messages? Do you know of a way to disable them so that monkeyGTD can save my files uninterrupted?

Thanks,
Cory
