Connected

It always seems to be a challenge to get techy things to work the way you want. For some time now, I've been increasingly annoyed that my contacts on my phone were getting more and more different from the ones on my desktop. Not to mention that somehow the desktop ones weren't being updated correctly.

Recently I tried out ScheduleWorld, and after a certain amount of experimentation I have finally got the two back in sync and receiving updates.

I've got a new shiny google calendar that I haven't yet sync'd to my phone but will (either through ScheduleWorld again, or another service) soon.

And I've just signed up to Twitter for micro blogging fun - and yes, I can do that on my phone too.

Happy Paws!

Spot the difference

  1. Stealing an election in Zimbabwe
  2. How to Get Your Platform Accepted as a Standard - Microsoft Style

Really it quite amazes me the lengths that Microsoft will go to to perpetuate their monopoly, despite all the lawsuits and fines, despite the strength of public feeling against them, they believe they can behave exactly as they like.

I guess it is the fault of the courts and our law makers not to take them to task sooner. The American justice system certainly seems to have failed us. Lets just hope that the EU can stick to their guns and keep fining Microsoft till they learn to play nicely.
