Forcing a re-index of Adventure in Spotlight

For some time now I've not had any new Applications appearing in Spotlight, and I think other things too. Found this advice from Apple:

on a forum. Tried adding the Adventure HDD, and it seems to have worked.

Squeezeplay for Joggler on Ubuntu 9

Followed these instructions:
http://birdslikewires.co.uk/articles/squeezeplay-for-joggler

First time I tried it it was really, really, very slow. I disabled some plugins in Squeezebox Server and also rebooted the Joggler, and now it's running very, very well!

Installed icon in Sound & Video menu of UNR, using Menu tool (System Tools pane). Linked to app.png icon in /opt/squeezeplay/shared???/jive/jive, it's beautiful but takes up whole screen.

Really want it to not be quite fullscreen... Or to have a gesture to get to Chrome.

VNC for Joggler

Using Chicken of the VNC on OS X and TightVNC on Windows XP, connecting to Joggler is very straightforward. See System Tools (I think) / Remote Desktop and enable things in there.

However, don't see the desktop or the UNR menus, but everything else seems to work as I'd expect. Think it's probably configured to run without transmitting the desktop, to save bandwidth?

Joggler not booting - solved

Joggler wouldn't boot because the time of the last disk mount was in the future - basically clock was set to 2005 (battery gone?).

Won't boot because of wrong time, file system check fails/error:

Sounds like need to do broken_system_clock in e2fsck.conf, if that option exists ("new versions of e2fsck have some new options. (1.41.10-1, found in testing):")

But e2fsck.conf man doesn't show that option, so this is what seems to have worked:

In the same file:
[problems]
# Superblock last mount time is in the future (PR_0_FUTURE_SB_LAST_MOUNT).
0x000031 = {
preen_ok = true
preen_nomessage = true
}
# Superblock last write time is in the future (PR_0_FUTURE_SB_LAST_WRITE).
0x000032 = {
preen_ok = true
preen_nomessage = true
}

Google Tasks in a window

Installed the Firefox Prism addon, and made this URL into an application to get Google Tasks on my desktop (since iCal sync doesn't work).
