I can't figure out how to get Outlook 2007 notes to be exported as text files for use with notational velocity/simplenote, and I can't fix my mother's blank lite.facebook.com page.
I'd set my mother's FB account to always start "lite". It's a cleaner, simpler, faster UI. Unfortunately, it doesn't get a lot of FB love. There's a bug where the page loads empty. There's no way to convince FB to ignore the default "always lite" settings.
I found a hack that will get me to account settings - use this URL: "https://login.facebook.com/login.php?login_attempt=1".
I didn't have to actually enter my password with this hack, but it did bring me to normal settings. From there I can see her Profile view. Unfortunately, standard settings don't include the facebook lite control -- that's only available from lite.facebook.com.
I was able to fight my way to a report form, but I don't hold out much hope. I'll try from XP at work and see if things are any better.
Once I do get into her lite.facebook.com account I'll turn off the "always lite" setting. That's clearly a bad idea!

Update 2/26/2010: The next day, from work using IE 8, I was able to get a non-blank page. I then switched her to regular facebook. A DNS issue? I use GoogleDNS and/or OpenDNS at home.
