Shame it doesn’t work any more…

• Migrate VDS to new VDS - Before 31/10/2007
• Fix various things after the migration - after 31/10/2007
• Update my blog (and then Becca's) and bring it up to date with django trunk - Whenever
• Update my Aunts site and make it run on django - ASAP

On my first Googling, I found the hacky way of doing this. Which is hacky, but works. I was just looking around the Nokia site and I found that Nokia released their own version to make iSync work with the E70. Go Nokia!

In case anyone didn't know, Becca and I recently moved house. Well, I say moved house, we moved from a tiny flat, to a nice house!

Having never moved from a house I've rented to another house I've rented before (uni doesn't really count) I've discovered a few useful hints that I though I'd share with everyone (in case they're any use..)

1. Get your post redirected - it's not very expensive and means you have more time to remember to change your addresses with places you'll most likely forget otherwise.
2. When defrosting a freezer, use a steamer - This is my Mum's tip really, as she recommended it to me, but it worked like a dream, far less stressful than any other way of doing it. However, don't underestimate the amount of water that will come out (as I did) and make sure you have plenty of towels to mop up with
3. Label your power supplies - I thought I was being very organised by putting all of my power supplies in one box, with the cables all neatly coiled up. When I came to look for a power supply I needed, I realised that most hardware manufacturers use generic power supplies and many of these power supplies don't seem to have the info you need to see if it is suitable for your hardware (voltage/current/polarity). Linksys seem to be very good and their power supplies actually have Linksys labels on them, my external hard disks seem to all have power supplies that look the same. Luckily, I've had no fatalities yet!

That's all I have at the moment, I'll add more when I think of them

Like Savs (can't find exact post, but i know it's there somewhere and reprocessed.org I have become a fan of Ross Barkman’s Modem scripts. I used 'Nokia 3G CID1' on my Nokia N70 on 3 and it seems to be working a treat - although I'm at work at the moment (with net connection) so I've not tested it entirely properly - shall do that later.

UPDATE Whilst this worked very well, it did cause me to use a lot of data, whilst not actually get very much done using the connection...

Well, I call it a solution, but it’s more of a massive kludge of a workaround. That aside, here’s how I did it…

I wrote a python script which fetches my calendar that I want to sync with iCal, and prints it back at me. I then run this inside the local version of apache. I can then point my iCal to this location to subscribe to it - it’s that easy. It does beg the question why the hell Apple don’t want people to sync their calendars over SSL - presumably to force them into using .MAC.

I finally got around to fixing openid on this site, so now when you post a comment, you can sign in with openid and then you can also logout, if you so wish. This also hopefully means I stop getting error emails from my site! Hurrah!
