PDA Wars

PDAs: love 'em, hate 'em, but we're stuck with them...

Tried to get sync working with synce on linux, haven't been able to browse through the usb connection since. The PDA gets no IP. Some configuration had to change for the synce attempt to disable. Can't figure what it was. Maybe having the pda connected to the wrong mini-usb didn't help. There are 3 to choose from.

In between transcoding mythtv output - a whole different saga - I managed to reboot fuji and now I find that synce:/// in nautilus actually works. IIRC, fuji is runing intrepid:

Linux fuji 2.6.27-9-generic #1 SMP Thu Nov 20 21:57:00 UTC 2008 i686 GNU/Linux

Well, I tried and failed to get a photo in here of the inside of the pda. Some issue in blogger by the look of it.

Now synce:/// is failing, the pda is discharging despite being on usb - which isn't getting an IP on USB because there's no server within reach.

So, browser access from the pda isn't as smooth as I'd like but it does work. Better get something ready to test... (Java/Eclipse/GWT)
