Triumphs and setbacks...

Well, it's been a love hate relationship so far.

The whole system seems fluid and stable, and easy to use, until I hit something like having to take attendance.

Oof. Can't do it.

Or the stylus. Haven't got that working yet.

This process is reminiscent of working on a beautiful old car. It has the capability to be incredible, but right now is frought with minor frustrations.

I am going to work on the PIM (personal information manager) for now. There is a neat project called "Chandler" in the works that could be just what the doctor ordered, but unfortunately, it is still in alpha, not ready for prime time.

For now, I will start by using Evolution, since it is closely tied in with the Gnome desktop (which is what gOS and Ubuntu use by default.)

To do:

  • Connect to d211 email via pop
  • Connect to personal email account
  • Connect to junk email account
  • Sync contacts from Phone/Organizer
  • Sync contacts from LDAP Server
  • Sync Calendar from Phone/Organizer
  • Sync Calendar from lotus notes (is it possible?)
