I’m a little bummed - I not sure what all other Linux people have switched to - but the palm support seems to have dropped off over time.

Lately I’ve been getting in trouble because now that I use Evolution as my main mail client - I actually get those Exchange meeting invitations. I end up accepting them. Only problem is that Palm sync hasn’t been working on my laptop. So I forget to put it in the Palm immediately and then I end up missing the meeting - not good!

I tried for a while to get my USB cable to sync my Palm TX under Edgy without any luck. (If you know how to do this - share the secret). At home I just sync via wireless. That works fine because my pc at home has a static ip. At work, I don’t. So tonight I ended up playing around with the third syncing option - IrDA.

I’ll be honest - this seemed like it was going to be impossible - that was until I found this blog post. It ended up giving me the details I needed to get everything running.

Now I just have to remember to sync and maybe you’ll actually see me in the next meeting you schedule with me.

Update: Not so fast. At some point I missed a step because I rebooted - I ended up terminated whatever process was really listening to my IrDA port….This is going to take some time after all.
