Refer to my previous post about displaying my To Do list on the Desktop. I have since stopped using todo.sh for various reasons. But I continue to use the Active Desktop feature of Windows XP. One of the use I have found, is to display a mini phone list.

In my last post about Thunderbird 3 Beta, I mentioned that extensions do that work with the Tunderbird 3 Beta. One of the important Add-on I have been using with Tunderbird 2 was Lightning. This Add-on provides Calendering functionality to Thunderbird, making it (near) complete substitute for MS Outlook. Near complete because there is no MS Exchange integration yet.
Then I found out a way to get this working with the Tunderbird 3 Beta
