ActiveSync Problem Solving
Reusing the Original Device Name When you re-establish a 'partnership' between your device and ActiveSync, it will refuse to allow you to use the same device name because it feels that this new relationship is with a different device and it is needlessly protecting the assets of the old device.
The solution is to manually purge all references to the old device that exist on the PC, so start by; Delete the desktop folder shortcut that Activesync created for the original partnership Move or remove the folder that the shortcut pointed to Assure that your PC's file explorer is set to view 'hidden files' Search for the 'device name' and remove the backup folder that bears that name.

I've met this particular snag before, but you have made a very useful overview of other ActiveSync problems. Thanx much.

5 New Ways to Share Files
5 New Ways to Share Files:
- FileCrunch
- Pando
- Tubes
- Windows Live Folders
- YouSendIt
Each is very different from the rest: Tubes, from mobile synchronization platform developer Adesso Systems, involves a program you install that creates a direct, network-like link with other users for shared folders. YouSendIt and FileCrunch are basically web storage with an email notification feature. Pando is a P2P file sharing service that lets you exchange large files or subscribe to channels from media companies. Windows Live Folders is a web-based hybrid of the others, using both online storage with notification and a folder metaphor.
- Tubes: partly resembles P2P file-sharing networks, partly FTP, and partly IM. (Requires install).
Summary: Tubes is a fancy wrapper around web storage that synchronizes folders on users' local machines. It can be a convenient way to share files with colleagues and friends, but it doesn't offer much over online storage services like OmniDrive or just FTP, and it takes up more system resources that we think necessary for its function.
- Windows Live Folders: true Web 2.0 app. Works entirely in the browser
At present, you get 500MB of free storage with it, and it always displays how much you have left at the top of the window. The maximum file size you can upload right now is 50MB.
Summary: This early beta shows promise as a simple way for nontechnical folk to create secure shared file folders.

Mini-Box unveils VoomPC-2 for in-car computing
While folks have been spinning the whole "PC in your whip" idea for nearly as long as trunks have become acceptable substitutes for low-hertz safe havens, many get a bit turned off when thinking about the lengthy DIY involvements. Mini-Box has unveiled the second rendition of its VoomPC, and aside from bearing an eerie resemblance to your average automotive speaker amplifier, looks to pack a decent set of specs into a tight package at a reasonable price. The VoomPC-2 is again based on the Mini-ITX standard, and houses a 1.5GHz VIA C7 processor, CD-ROM to 2.5-inch IDE adapter, open hard drive bay, and an assortment of ports including VGA, S-Video, USB 2.0, FireWire, Ethernet, PCMCIA, GPRS / WiFi options, and 5.1 audio output. The standout feature, however, is the M1-ATX intelligent power supply that "manages downtime battery use by cutting off various functions at predetermined times and shuts the PC down completely when the car battery drops below 11.2 volts." Additionally, the unit only draws 15 to 35 watts in operation, and has been tested to work in environments ranging from -40 to 55 degrees Celsius. So if you're looking to take your tunes, media, maps, and company projects along with you to check out while waiting in various forms of traffic jams, you can pick up this barebones kit for $395 starting right now.

Propably these also works with a Loox N560 USB host function.
A Pentax Optio W10 camera works perfectly - which means it can be used as an external SD card reader/writer. - This is usefull as I haven't been able to find an USB flash card reader that works with the N560.
BTW, a Creative MuVo Slim 256 mp3 player does *not* work.

Nytårsforsæt: Erstat salt og sukker med krydderurter
Krydderurter er tidens løsen, hvis man vil leve sundt, mener University of Michigan. Universitets afdeling for familiemedicin har derfor udgivet en liste på ti punkter, der kan tjene som nytårsforsæt.
Ing.: Af Niels Berg Olsen søndag 07.01.2007 kl. 11:30søndag 07.01.2007 kl. 11:30
Det er fint nok at skære ned på fedtet og spise mere frugt og grønt. Men hvis du virkelig vil give dit helbred nye vitaminer, skal du hælde langt flere krydderurter i maden.Sådan lyder budskabet fra afdelingen for familiemedicin ved University of Michigan.Hvis vi bruger flere krydderurter og færre af de traditionelle smagsforstærkere - salt, sukker og fedt - så giver det enorm effekt på sundheden, mener forskeren Suzanna Zick fra afdelingen.»Hvis du spiser flere krydderurter, kan du holde en sund vægt. Desuden forebygger krydderurterne nogle typer af kræft, og de kan føre til lavere blodtryk og bedre kontrol med blodsukkeret,« siger hun på universitetets egen hjemmeside.Susanne Zick har derfor udarbejdet en liste med de ti nedenstående gode råd, som holder sundheden i top. Godt nytår og velbekomme!
"Zick's 10 tips for spicing up your health in 2007"
1. Erstat salt med urter
Brug oregano, timian, rosmarin, persille og hvidløg som smagsforstærker. Erstat salt med velsmagende basilikum og oregano. Salt øger blodtrykket.
2. Brug frisk hvidløg
Hvidløg hæmmer forhøjet blodtryk og kolesterolniveau. Spis mindst tre friske (de er bedre end tørre) fed hvidløg hver dag.
3. Hold dig ung.
Spis rosmarinRosmarin er en af naturens mest effektive antioxidanter. Det hæmmer kræftudvikling og hukommelsessvigt.
4. Hold snuen borte.
Spis basilikum, oregano og rosmarinBasilikum, oregano og rosmarin forhindrer forkølelser. Det er de essentielle olier i urterne, der har denne virkning, og så er de tillige alle tre effektive antioxidanter.
5. Behandl hoste med timian
Timian er et fantastisk middel imod hoste, endda kighoste. Drik det som te.
6. Behandl rygsmerter med karry
Gurkemeje, som giver karry dets gule kulør, hindrer betændelser.
7. Bekæmp kræft med endnu mere karry
Karryen bekæmper også cancer. Hvor meget, man bør spise, ved man ikke - men spis rigeligt karry og gurkemeje.
8. Behandl forhøjet blodtryk med stærke sager
Stærke krydderier som ingefær, muskatnød, kanel, allehånde, peber og chili, øger blodtilførslen til huden. Derved mindskes blodtrykket inde i kroppen.
9. Behandl mavepine med ingefær
Ingefær indeholder gingeroler. De hæmmer dannelsen af stoffer, der giver kvalme og mavepine. Husk at spise ægte ingefær, ikke de syntetiske ingefærolier, der tilsættes i ginger-ale.
10. Erstat sukker med krydderier
Sæt sukkerforbruget ned ved at tilsætte krydderier som kanel og muskatnød til maden. Man kan f.eks. med held komme kanel i usødet æblemos. Så smager det, så man slet ikke savner sukkeret.
