Missing Sync

by

I just bought Mark / Space’s the missing sync for the pocket PC. I am now using it to sync my HP iPaq 1945 with my iMac. It works as advertised. I like that I can sync avantgo now without having my work laptop at home. It also does bluetooth syncing. I love that. It was kind of pricey at $40 something, but it is really cool.

I also have their palm sync product. It is good, but I am having problems with the avantgo sync with my Treo and the iMac. I need to find time to work on that issue.

So far high marks for Mark / Space and their products. Makes owning a Mac less stressful knowing you can use more hardware with it, (i.e. my pocket pc and palm) without less features than I would on a PC.

Grandparents

by

Out of the blue I got a really generous gift from my grandmother. She is my only remaining grand parent, but for the past several years we haven’t talked very much. She can be difficult on good days, and I decided I didn’t want to talk with her if at the end of every call I would be all agitated and we would be arguing.

Well, I saw her at Morgan’s (my niece) first birthday party. She was very nice and mellow. I think older age has mellowed her a bit. Then 2 weeks later I get a card with a large check for my birthday. I called to thank her since it was quite unexpected. We actually had a pleasant conversation. I was kind of weird but nice. I don’t like fighting with her, but for years she made it almost impossible not to. It was nice to just talk.

It was funny I learned that my grandfather liked to play craps also. Ironic since I just learned to play and like it allot.

If all conversations with my grandmother are like this one, I can safely call her and not worry about undue stress or aggravation. After all she is my grandmother.

Cold Conditions

by

I still feel like crap today. I am letting this cold take its course. It hurts when I talk now, and the cough is getting worse. Hopefully I will be better by Saturday.
