One day at a time. It's the only way. Slowly but surely, everything is correctly configured. Today was the Palm Pilot and the network printer. Just the words network printer should give you an idea of the hassle involved. Every time I print a test page, 26 blank pages are received by the printer. Don't worry, I've got a hack for this one too. But it's almost midnight and I can't tell if my later test pages printed well without waking people up. Just do the same stuff I did at Stanford ten years ago. It'll work. This is Unix. But I still have to give a thumbs up to the guys who made pilot-xfer work. It's basically the Palm Pilot HotSync but written in geek. I can do some things with it that are like insane. Like collect on address cards every address that sends me email in a month and that I don't delete. You get the idea. Pretty much anything you want to do can be turned into a script and run from anywhere in the world. Lessee, the next big test is if I can get Linux to read my digital camera USB output (looks like a disk drive electronically). Once I get that going it will spell the end of MicroSoft Windows in my household. I've got everything I need, thank you. Don't need your badly written software.
