A GMail Annoyance

I love gmail. Really, I think it is the best web based email software I have ever used. The keyboard shortcuts make browsing through emails and conversations a breeze. Everyone has their pet peeves, so here is mine.

The UI for navigating between links is quite standard - click on newer or older in the email header to navigate:

Google’s help center for keyboard shortcuts lists the j key to move an older conversation and the k key to browse newer.

Have you looked at your keyboard lately? If you haven’t, take a peek:

Notice that the j key is to the left of the k key. So according to those keyboard shortcuts, newer conversations are on the right of the keyboard, but unfortunately this is switched relative to the user interface, where a newer conversation link is on the left.

Run up the wall

I’ve run into a dead end in a process of debugging a website. Here’s the low-down.

A particular university website is needed for my (and my sister’s) study.

I have a 2 desktops and 1 laptop, all running kubuntu fiesty, on the same network, same dmz etc

Only the laptop loads the website

The website will load under windows on both of the desktops

Turns out, that the desktops will load the website, but very, very slowly (about 5 minute delay)

I have absolutely, no clue about how to continue debugging and hopefully fixing the problem. Does anybody have any suggestions that I could use to try and get this up and running again?

nb: it doesn’t seem to be ipv6 causing the problems.
