I recently realized that google accounts (gmail, calendar, documents, etc) uses SSL (https) for the login, but then switches over to a unsecure web connection after you login.

After a few minutes of searching I found the perfect tool if you’re running firefox: CustomizeGoogle

Install the addon then go to Tools > CustomizeGoogle Options and set every page you want secured to Secure (switch to https)

Mom sent over her xls training log called aaa Running plan.xls along with this email:

Hi,
I attached a copy of my running spreadsheet. Dad told me to do this.
I am excited about the family activity.

The only reason it is called aaa is because I wanted it to be at the
top of my files so I don’t have to scroll down to find it.

Love,
Mom

So I uploaded it straight to google docs and sent her an invitation as a collaborator. Maybe she’ll edit it online so we can compare. I’m guessing maybe not though. Google docs could suck on dialup.
