So I am convinced that I will never make it to the Gym in the morning. Well ok, maybe not completely convinced. I tried to call Paul again this morning and he couldn’t hear his phone so I thought about going by myself. Problem is, Amy is using my MP3 player for her commute, so I needed another one. I have my trusty PDA that happens to play MP3’s but doesn’t have any on it right now. So here I think “let’s fire that bad boy up and start copying!” I them spent the next hour trying to figure out why it won’t sync when it dons on me to trace the cable back to the PC. Turns out I had mixed up the cables and was plugging in the wrong USB plug. [DOH!]
Yeah, I felt like an idiot. BUT…. I learned something rather interesting. I can get the PDA to Sync up using the Wi-Fi card. (I know this is probably nothing new to some people.) I started thinking then, If I can sync using the wi-fi, then I can use a shared folder that syncs between the PC and Device, and if I can do that, then I can hook it up in my Truck and use the MP3 player there, and if I can do then, then I can continually update the MP3’s dynamically.
So I am thinking that I need to pick up a few accessories for the PDA. I know I will need some sort of Cradle so it’s not just lying around in there, I need a larger compact flash card, something a GIG or more. Also I want to get a Good GPS with software.
Further update on the dad: Another phone call last night from my mom, she said that he woke up and wise cracked a “Wow, I’m still here!” This would probably be the first thing that would lead me to believe that he is, indeed, my father. This would have probably been my first words coming out of such a surgery. He also claimed that he might have to start listening to people when they tell him he shouldn’t be eating certain things. Congrats dad, that would fall into the “DUH” category.
