Hongying and I worked to put some more information up at https://www.hongyingandian.com. Some work still needs to be done. I converted the site from a static page to a joomla site so we can both update content from any computer.

I have been biking from court house to reston once a week (20 miles each way) and I am starting to think that my 9 year old hard rock might not be the best bike. I went into revelotions cycles in Arlington and they recommended either
the Trek Portland https://revolutioncycles.com/itemdetails.cfm?catalogId=39&id=2712
or the Trek FX https://revolutioncycles.com/itemdetails.cfm?catalogId=39&sort=pricedesc&id=2604,
but this months spare cash went on a repair to my 96 golf which arlington says is worth $2000.
I have also been thinking about getting these https://revolutioncycles.com/itemdetails.cfm?catalogId=39&id=2660

iCal Calendar Servers

I tried building apples iCal server on a suse 9.1 box.
First had to install python 2.4
Then had to install sqlite 3.3.7
everything built but failed on a plistlib. I found a good copy of that at

https://svn.red-bean.com/bob/plistlib/trunk/plistlib.py

now I just get errors about xattr which is the Mac extended attributes on files.

I found this link so will keep an eye on it

treo 700p

I bought a new toy before I went to san francisco. I played with windows mobile 5 phones like the verizon vx6700 at constellation but I didn’t like it. I ended up buying a teo 700p.

I was a little upset when I first got it since it would would come back to life every so often. I ended up wiping the phone completely to find out what was going on. I then ran it for a couple days with out issue. I then in installed verizon wireless sync and it hung with in minutes. I was also having issues with hotsync not syning changes back to my mac. after removing wireless sync everything looks good. my battery life is also lasting more than a day. so the conclusion is that wireless sync is the root of all evil. I need to put versamail and an ssh client bacck on the phone to confirm that they were not the issue but I have a good feeling that it will work
