Octrotalk Rocked My World (in a bad way) **UPDATED**

After installing and successfully using Octrotalk on my Treo 700w, the program added duplicate contacts to my Gmail contacts list.

Now, in the standard view with chat enabled, Gmail is rendered useless after one click-through. Everything works hunky-dory with chat disabled in Gmail. With chat enable, no links work (minus the first one I click). Firefox says there is an unresponsive script. Same problem on 3 different machines with two browsers.

Coincidence?

I even deleted Octro-related contacts from my contact list and the problem persists.

Not sure how a third-party vendor of chat software can affect Gmail's interface, but if hadn't happened, I wouldn't have believed it possible!

**UPDATE**

Removing legacy connections (i.e. MSN, Yahoo and AIM) and then removing the Octro contacts from my Gmail contact list eventually fixed the problem!

Hope & Chance


In order to have a chance, the Colorado Rockies must win Game 2 at Fenway. My earliest memory of a Rockies is game is actually not at Coors Field. It's at Mile High Stadium where the crowd would chant "Go" and "Rockies" from opposite sides of the stadium.

Go Rockies!
