Palm/Mac sync woes

I have little to add to this but I’m sure glad it’s being said somewhere as visible as The Washington Post: Either Palm should – finally! – update its Mac software so it talks directly to Address Book and iCal, instead of relying on the obsolete Palm Desktop for contacts and calendar management, or Apple should put some more effort into iSync so it doesn’t have this habit of dropping data on the floor at random times.

Mobile Python

Python for the Nokia Series 60 tempts me to get a Nokia phone. Meanwhile I stare at my Palm and mourn the once-amazing, now moribund Pippy. Larry commented on Mon Nov 14 19:02:17 2005: Yes, a small palm-specific subset of python with appropriate palm extensions, like plua. Too bad plua’s not ppython. Doesn’t PalmSource understand the marketing boon a professional quality (free on palm os) python interpreter would be to them.
