I’ve read (most) of the books many times…. Now I saw this 5dvd box in the store, and I just had to have it..
Palm Sync, the story continues.

Yes, against all expectation, I am not done complaining yet. Today I thought “Lets make everything work on my mac mini too”. Did the mount usbfs thingy, and ran the gpilot wizard: After a segfault (had this on x86 too), it nicely detected the user + userid on the palm. (All good I Thought). I read more

First attemped, still single direction, I wrote a evolution to gtodo converter. I’ve took a quick peek at the source of multisync and that realy helped me to understand how it works. The trick now will be to make it sync both ways. This should be relatively easy, because I have last-edit date availible on read more

The sage continues, I’ve spend/wasted (again) severall hours on my mac mini. The problem is with the usb system. Some “quircks” I notice (withouth actually going wrong) my soudblaster live 1024 24bit externall only works when plugged in the mac mini directly with a short usb cable. On macosX or other pc’s running linux it read more

It’s there!!! It’s still rough, and it prints stuff like: “Due Today” withouth showing a date. But it works. I first wanted to create a table layout, but after alot of thinking I didn’t see an easy way todo that, mostly because every column could have a different width (depending on data) and every row read more
