I’d like to say thank you to all the people who posted in the pipwerks forum, and invite you to join me in the new eLearning Technology and Development group.
I’d also like to ask anyone and everyone who develops e-learning to drop by and sign up for the eLearning Technology and Development group. Ask questions — lots of questions — and let’s see if we can get a good community going!
Importing contacts into Gmail

I recently tried to import contacts into Gmail and encountered the cryptic (and completely useless) error message “Oops. An unknown error occurred while importing your contacts”.
Turns out Gmail chokes if it encounters a duplicate email address during the contact import process. It also appears this error only occurs with the latest version of Gmail. Therefore, a nice and easy workaround is to switch to the “Older version” of Gmail by clicking the “Older version” link (top right corner), import the contacts, then switch back to the newer version of Gmail.
Worked for me.
SWFObject.js finds a home on Google servers

Cool news for SWFObject users: the swfobject.js file is now being hosted on Google’s servers as part of the AJAX Libraries API. This means you can directly link to the file on a Google server instead of maintaining a copy on your own server.
