Missing Sync Update

by

This program is awesome. The only problem I am having is when I do a bluetooth sync. My iPaq slows way down and IE on the iPaq cannot be stopped until I soft reset it. I don’t think it is the Missing Sync software, but the Bluetooth software on the iPaq. that is my theory right now. I want to try a bluetooth sync on my PC and see what happens but so far I have been unable to get active sync to work at all with bluetooth. Plug n Play my ass. I will tell you Apple has the right idea with owning the OS and the hardware. Stuff just works.

I may actually go out and buy a WIFI card for my iPaq and sync that way over the network. That would be really cool. I am still working out the details for that. The WIFI SD/IO card is like $110.

More Treo 600 Updates

I am using the camera more for my MoBlog. It is really cool. The Moblog not the camera. The camera sucks, but for a camera on a phone it works ok. It is not a replacement to a real digital camera.

The internet connection still works most of the time. Snapper mail is a killer app. I cannot wait for IMAP enabled version later this year. I am checking out a few DB sync programs for the Palm that will sync access db’s to my palm. that would be cool too, but so far no opinion on them yet.

I had to reinstall all my apps this weekend. I had some new piece of software kill my Treo. it kept rebooting in a loop. The backup on my PC didn’t seem to help, so I had to do a hard reset and start from scratch. Not happy about that, but I got everything back online in a few hours.

Warm And Damp

by

It is going to be in the 50’s today in NYC. It is also rainy. I have broken out my London Fog (Trench) rain coat. I need to replace this coat. It is getting up in years and probably could use replacement. The warmer weather is a double edged sword for me right now. For one thing my apartment building does not normally turn on the AC until May 15. By then it is really hot. Sometimes they turn it on early, but you never can tell.

Our work AC is nonexistent normally. We have had problems the past two summers with them. Now they are truly nonexistent. The water tower that runs them is gone. We were going to replace 2 of the 3 units with a more powerful air cooled system, but continue to use 1 of the water cooled units. That plan has to change since our building got rid of the water tower that we use. Turns out we shared that with another tenant and that tenant is leaving. Since the tower is in bad repair they are just getting rid of it. We are left to fend for ourselves. We have like 2 months before it starts getting hot again. Hopefully we get something done by then. If it gets too hot I am off to my apartment to work:)

I am not sure if anyone in the office can go through another super hot summer at work. It was 82 degree’s at work yesterday and it was in the 40’s outside.
