Well, I used a different correction (made the extra parameter optional,
instead of passing an empty parameter), but yours works just as well

Pyrite is used for synchronization. With the Palm Desktop, the default
Backup conduit will make sure that your data is backed up, but it will
not synchronize with the desktop ThoughtStream. When/if Pyrite is
capable of integrating with Palm Desktop, you will be able to
synchronize ThoughtStream just like the standard Palm apps. Don't hold
your breath, because at this time, I don't think anyone is working on
that.

As for the loading problem in your other mail (please don't send html
mail), add this around line 173 of mind.py:
          dh=_mindhandler(self)
          parser.setDocumentHandler(dh)
          parser.setErrorHandler(saxutils.ErrorRaiser())
+ if (os.name=='nt') and (url[1]==':'):
+ url='file:'+url
          file=urlopen(url)
          parser.parseFile(file)
          parser.close()

HTH,
