Richmond Castle Panoramic Photo
Not because I think the photo is any good, but rather because I wanted to link to Hugin which is an amazing bit of software for making panoramic photos by joining together smaller ones, I thought I would post this panoramic photo of Richmond Castle.
Google Tasks Canvas
It’s true that the Google Tasks is nothing new but I’m using it more and more for noting down ad hoc lists of tasks and things that don’t need processing.
The URL for the Google Tasks Canvas View (a more tablet friendly multi-pane version) is https://mail.google.com/tasks/
It’s very lightweight and not intended to be a replacement for Basecamp or Remember the Milk, but it does what it has to well, and as with any Google product there is always scope for development (for example they recently added an API which is very promising).
At the moment you can sort tasks by hand, by due date and create subtasks when not sorting by date. The canvas view allows more convenient editing of multiple lists, and Google Tasks as a whole allows emailing and printing lists, and keeps completed tasks. It also integrates nicely with Google Calendar.
There aren’t really any options, because it doesn’t need them. However it would be great if there was a way to choose a default sorting method, that’s the only thing that bugs me, and that’s pretty minor.
All in all Google Tasks is a useful little todo list that goes everywhere. What sort of features would you add, or would that defeat the object? Are there things you would change about the “canvas” view?

New conversion segments in Adwords
Previously I think these were only available as part of adding segments to a downloaded AdWords report. Not a lot of metrics showing up at the moment and it doesn’t seem to work with all accounts but a welcome additions to the segmentation available through the actual AdWords interface!
“Could not connect to Evernote server” fix
This is a problem I’ve only ever had on Windows 7 but I gather it can affect you on XP too.
If Evernote says
Synchronization failed, could not connect to Evernote server
and you aren’t sure why because everything else seems to work on the internet, go to Tools menu, Options, then the General tab and then click on “Log folder”.
If in recent logs you can see
Windows Internet subsystem is in offline mode
chances are that Internet Explorer is in offline mode. Fire up Internet Explorer, verify that it is browsing the web again, and you should find that Evernote is working again too and will connect to the servers and update.
