Long story short: Voo2do came back on the 19th and I’m gradually reassembling the rest. Long story […]

Friday, October 27th, 2006

I recently upgraded to Firefox 2.0. Nice changes all around — but when I went to Voo2do, my usual Alt+S key press to save tasks simply didn’t work. According to this blog post, this is because Firefox 2.0 has changed the access key combination from Alt to Alt+Shift.
