My continuing task management quest

I've never been totally happy with integrating task management across laptop, "cloud" and mobile device for years. My latest incarnation is a combination of Remember The Milk as a base for task management, then integrating it with Google Calendar in the cloud and Astrid on my G1 phone (android).

The problem with these conglomerations is when you want to upgrade one component or another. In this case, upgrading Thunderbird 3.0 (which I wrote about on linux-blog.com) messed up Thunderbird's calendar add-on, Lightning. I found a good for-the-moment fix in the Google Calendar Tab add-on for Thunderbird 3.0, however. This displays my Google calendar in a second Thunderbird tab. In a way, that's just fine by me, since it's now moved the laptop into the could a bit more.
