It’s finally been done- ClYang has written the glue to get an upload button in Picassa working with your WordPress (2.7.1) blog. This has been a requested feature for a while. There are plenty of solutions to share a picassa web on a WordPress blog, but this is the first instance (that I can find)…

iPhone OTA Sync to Gmail/Plaxo
My wife just purchased an iPhone 3G, but she still uses Windows XP (I can’t get her to give up that ThinkPad). I’ve never experienced iTunes/iPhone syncing on Windows so I was curious to see what was going to happen when she plugged it in to her laptop. If she used a Mac I’d have…
iPhone syncing on Linux
I haven’t tried this (I use a Mac) but someone has the iPhone syncing on Linux (looks like ubuntu based). There is a lot of info about the iPhone/iTunes pairing and syncing via USB over at the site…

iSync, Razr V3m, and Sprint: Part 2
Word around was that Apple introduced a new version of iSync with 10.4.9, and with it the promise of direct OSX support of the V3m. And Apple did add support for the V3m model to iSync, but they didn’t add support for the Sprint version! It still wouldn’t pair correctly with a fresh install of…
Sprint Razr V3m and iSync
I ordered a Razr V3m from Sprint last week since the krzr looks to be too fat, and the razr has a larger screen. The phone is nice but one of the most important features I’ve been lusting after is the ability to sync my contacts over using iSync and USB. All the Moto phones…
Syncing, But Apple or Mac?
I started this site out to keep track of my travails with the many, many options and pitfalls of syncing my pim data back and forth from my Macintosh to my current PDA of choice. I feel stupidly proud over the fact that I have some core pim data that was originally entered into my…
Treo650 BT DUN and the Mac
The authoritative how-to is at Trevor Harmon’s site. Thanks Trevor. Update on Feb 23 ’05 – I only ever used this once. It wacked the hell outta the T650. Nothing permanent, just massive reboots and it never worked. I’ll wait for PalmOne/Sprint to do the right thing……
Entourage Sync with Treo650
So I just switched yesterday from iSync & Addressbook/iCal syncing to Entourage. I’ll miss Mail.app the most, but I’m tired of not having syncing Categories. Already I like having them back. The syncing works well, and I’m enjoying using Entourage 2004. Its project view is very helpful for the work I’m doing now. The only…
USB Sync and the Mac
I’ve been having an issue with my Mac and the Treo650 for a while now: the USB sync stops working. I know it’s related to the Mac OSX doing something loopy with USB, because for the past two versions of OSX my USB has been flaky– devices stop working, the T650 won’t even charge (on…
Syncing Treo 650 Photos to the Mac
What to use to get your Treo 650 photos onto the Mac? The easiest thing I’ve found is SplashData’s SplashPhoto. I’ve been a staunch user of SplashID for a few years now, and have entrusted all my sensitive data to it, but I haven’t looked to closely at SplashPhoto until recently. I got my Treo…
Good hint for iSync and Palm Syncing
If you use Apple’s apps (iCal, Addressbook, Mail.app) like I do, you really get used to the complete integration of these applications with one another. It’s getting Newtonesque. If you also use a Palm, you probably are using iSync to syncing these apps with your Palm’s PIMs. One constant irritant however, is the lack of…
My Syncing Feelings
In my never ending quest for complete sync, I’ve gone thru many different configurations. It’s cool to think that a lot of my PIM data was created back over 10 years ago on my first newton- since then it been converted and bounced from PDA to windows to PDA to Mac many times over. Still,…
