Mobile Monday comes to Belfast
I’m one of the speakers at the first Mobile Monday event in Belfast, I’m still working on my slides, I have a “tech” talk and a “business” talk, I may have to toss a coin to make the decision.

Exchange to ICS
I found this post Ryan Hadley a few days ago, which I got working with a little bit of time, I noticed that Thunderbird was displaying all-days events oddly, so I checked the VEVENT info being generated & tweaked to work correctly with Thunderbird/Lightening. I also dropped in the URL of the event in OWA & fixed it for situations where there are public & private names for the OWA/Exchange instance, handy when you want to go and amend an entry etc.

There are two great silences…
I saw this line in the Irish Times on Friday, it amused me greatly 
“There are two great silences in life. One is the silence in a church before a funeral. The other is the silence in a pub, when the guards are outside.” -Packie Duignan

Why would you do that?
I indulged myself recently and obtained a new MacBook, which I’ve spent the last few days loading up with the usual suspects (Firefox) as well as getting acquainted with some new tools (Mail.app).
I use Foxmarks to keep my bookmarks in order, with a neat toolbar of my regular sites, I noticed that in FF on OSX, all my toolbar favicon images were missing (several of my bookmarks on the Personal Toolbar have no text, so just the Icon shows up on my other machines (XP & Ubuntu/Linux))
A bit of research and playing found this: http://blog.rbenson.info/tech/firefox-hide-bookmark-toolbar-icons.html
Now this describes exactly how to recreate my problem (Hide the Icons!) I wanted to undo this (guessing that this was just a daft default in the OSX FF build), a bit more poking & research suggested that I wanted to make my userChrome.css to look like this:
/* Hide bookmark icons in the Personal Toolbar */
toolbarbutton.bookmark-item > .toolbarbutton-icon {
display: inline !important; }
And he presto, things are back to normal, I have a neat toolbar with icons for the sites.
But why would you set the default to hide them?

Old Friends
I bumped into a guy I went to school with yesterday on the Belfast/Gatwick flight, Keith & his wife Kristyn are home from Ohio for Christmas. Talk about a blast from the past
