As usual, I buy devices/hardware before checking the Linux compatibility. And usually that results in a lot of horror to get stuff to work good.

Unlike usually, my Mio 168 PDA, was quite easy to get up and running (with regards to syncing).

I barely use calendars, yet always find myself forgetting stuff, and always find myself thinking: I have to use a calendar. So with my new toy, I'd better get it to work.

The syncing process is done through Multisync and its SynCE plugin.

I just followed the HOWTO and within minutes, these lines were dumped in my /var/log/messages:

 Serial connection established.

Awesome! Let the syncing begin!

The problem is that I don't really use Evolution. It's overkill for my needs and I'd rather keep on using Plans.

So there we are ... now I need to create a system to sync my PDA with my Plans calendar on my webserver. Might get tricky, and it's not like I have time left, but oh well, if that would work, it'd be completely awesome.

As of yet, I have to put one task in my PDA: donate to SynCE.
