Resetting Logitech MX Revolution mouse

My mouse started to get jumpy, even though it had always been one of the smoothest tracking mice I've ever used (wired or wireless).

This seems to have done the trick:

Make sure Mouse is fully charged (Battery indicator shows device is charged)
Turn the Mouse ON,
Hold Down the Left Button,
Turn the mouse OFF then ON (left Button still held down),
Click the right Button 5 times (left Button still held down),
Then release both buttons,
Cursor should move.

Post-its in Firefox Sidebar

Tip of the Week: Managing Post-It Notes

Grabbing a Post-it note to quickly scribble down information from a Web page can lead to sticky-note buildup on the monitor. If you would like to jot those notes right in the browser while you work, there's a new Firefox plug-in called List.it (short for the Latitudinal Information Scrap Trapper that Indexes Things) that does just that.

Once installed and configured, List.it creates a sidebar panel in the Firefox window with a box to type or paste in notes and other bits of information. Developed by researchers at M.I.T., List.it can be downloaded at groups.csail.mit.edu/haystack/listit/. Notes can also be synchronized with other copies of Firefox with the List.it add-on, which is a lot easier than shuttling paper sticky notes between work and home.
