When using the mootools shortcut
var myEffects = $(myElement).effects({duration: 1000, transition: Fx.Transitions.Sine.easeInOut});
that is always creating a new Fx.Styles instance, I decided to build a cache object.
What it does is returns a new Fx.Styles if none is found for the html element passed to the create method, caching it, for later reference.
var fxCache = { cache:{}, options:{duration:300,transition:Fx.Transitions.Circ.easeInOut}, create: function (element,options) { element = $(element); if (this.cache[element.id] == null) { return this.cache[element.id]=element.effects($merge.apply(null, [this.options].extend(options||{}))); } else { return this.cache[element.id]; } }}
Simply use it like so:
var fxA = fxCache.create("myHtmlElement",{"duration":600});var fxB = fxCache.create($("otherHtmlElement"));

I'm not a great fan of Outlook. Don't take me wrong, I use it @ work, but its a resource eater. I prefer the Thunderbird.
The problem was kepping things sync'd. Two weeks ago learned about http://www.birdiesync.com/ , a sync tool for thoose of us that use Thunderbird, SundBird and the new Lightning extension for ThunderBird.
But, you must pay for it :(
This is goes againts the ideia of the Thunderbird, if I don't pay for it, I should I pay for the sync.
Well, it seems that someone read my (and many others) mind and released (still in beta) the FinchSync project.
It's free and works over WLan.
Go on and give it a try.

DHTC
You're a Doer.
You are very quick at getting tasks done. You believe the outcome is the most important part of a task and the faster you can reach that outcome the better. After all, time is money.
You like coding at a High level.
The world is made up of objects and components, you should create your programs in the same way.
You work best in a Team.
A good group is better than the sum of it's parts. The only thing better than a genius programmer is a cohesive group of genius programmers.
You are a Conservative programmer.
The less code you write, the less chance there is of it containing a bug. You write short and to the point code that gets the job done efficiently.
