Switched Theme

Unfortunately, I’ve had to move away from my old theme, which is quite sad as Dennis featured so prominently on the old one. I’ll probably have to go for the CSS upgrade and get him back in here that way.

I needed to switch in order to get away from fixed width, which was ruining any code I pasted. As I intend to start posting more code, the old them had to go.

Right, now I need to right some new posts..

Google sync on windows mobile 5 (wm5)

Google has (finally) launched a product (service) allowing you to sync your contacts and calendar from windows mobile device with gmail equivalents.

Google Sync for Windows Mobile

If however, like me, you’re running an old window mobile 5 device, you may find yourself stumped while following the instructions.  Specifically, it says -

8. Leave the Domain field empty.

Hmm, not so easy.. it’s a compulsary field!

The answer is to use m.google.com/sync for the domain :)

This google forum post pointed me to the answer.

Oh, one more thing, you may want to take a backup of your phone contacts/calendar first.  That’s easy grab PIM backup from DotFred, it works great.

Goodbye my friend

Anyone who reads this blog, has simply dropped by at some time or knows me on other sites, may have noticed Dennis.  Dennis is the cat used in my avatar and also in the main image used at the top of this blog.

Unfortunately, this morning we buryed Dennis.  He was my pet and a great friend and I’ll miss him dearly.

RIP buster, we will all miss you :(
