a new hotsync cable

it's been months ago that i broke my hotsync cable. the pin on the right broke. but it's working just fine for synchronizing and charging.

until one month ago, the cable failing to sync. but still able to charge which sometimes causing extreme hot.

from id-palmOS mailing list, most of people suggest to clean the cable pin using cotton bud and alcohol.
I've tried it, and it wont do. the cable still fail to hotsync.

so i browse milis id-palmos' archives, and i found out that somebody just bought hotsync cable from one of the famous person ^:) in milis, zay.

later, i contact him whether he still had this hotsync cable. he said he need to check whether the cable still available.
then i arrange time to meet him in persons, since his office near by mine, but unfortunately the time is not on my side, so i failed to meet him.

i want to have discussion about my broken d-pad, zay is famous for fixing error in treo, so i wonder that he will be able to fix mine.

because there's small chances that i can meet face to face, than i request for the cable price and his bank account. i send the inquiry e-mail along with my address.

several days gone by without answer. and suddenly a package came to my house. and it's the hotsync cable!
wow! i even hadn't transfer any money yet.
now! i can hotsync, and charge with pleasure ;P

damage HotSync cable causing excessive hot

one day, one pin of my HotSync cable is broken, so it cannot attached firmly into my treo650.

So while charging, if the connector not firmly plug into the handheld, for several minutes it will become hot and hotter. and later the LCD display will turn dark, and the treo will be hot.

to make the LCD to be normal in instant, first press the Function button (the big dot button on the left) than press the P button to show the brightness menu. after the brightness bar showed, scroll to the right and back to left again to restore it bright.

but there's no way to cool the gadget instantly. so you have to wait several minutes to make it cool.

OLERR HotSync error to Calendar Outlook 2007

After successfully patch the PalmDesktop so it can HotSync with Outlook 2007, other problem arise. The Outlook Calendar 2007 failed synchronize the events with my treo650.

It showed several OLERR [some number] on the HotSync log. So I googling and found that so many people encounter the same problem with me. here're some link :several solution for Hotsync OLERR with outlook 2007, palm hontsync OLERR error.
those link provide several way to correct the error. But unfortunately all of those suggestion not worked for my problem.

Then I try to find out tracing the cause of evil in the Outlook Calendar 2007. After opening the Outlook, the Reminder box pop-up displaying some of events. Then I try to Dismiss All.
Dang! it cannot!, then i try to double click one of the event trying to open it. dang! it display an error message box "Error, please input positive duration". what the ..!

So I go to Calendar event list, then search for that event that failed to open. After found the events, i try to open it again. it still failed to open. shite!

in the end, i delete the un-open events. because there're no way to open it or edit it.

After the deletion, i synchronize again, and .. whala!! it works! no OLERR again. Every single events both on Outlook Calendar and my Palm Calendar synchronize!.. fiu.

It seem the failed events are recurrence events that has no end time.
e.g. the events start at 1 Jan 1976 12:00AM but no end time. but it recurrent. so it create that mess.
maybe this things happened because i used to use Agendus which has capability to set alarm of an events after then events occur (not before it occur)

HotSync with Outlook 2007

yey!, finally I bought my self a notebook, it's a Lenovo Y400 45A.

Later I install Microsoft Office 2007. Then i load my .PST file on Outlook. Then I HotSync.
dang! the HotSync cannot synchronize with Outlook 2007! shite!

Then by googling, i found out that PalmDesktop already launch the patch for Outlook 2007. fhewww.. what a relieve.

After patching then I realize, Outlook 2007 no more supporting categories. They still maintained the old categories, but for current version they using color categories.
HUH! strange. why on earth Microsoft do that! it will create a non-telly things with my treo and PalmDesktop
