Got a cold. Probably from Ernest who had one last week. Today it is in the snotty phase.

Still got cold. Rotten night dreaming about this program.

NTL say they are coming between 8 and 12 tomorrow.

Have to get up early

Upgraded DayNotez desktop to the 1.0 beta version so I could look at the new export facilities. It seems to work.

Output looks like this:

"Date","Category","Contact","Keyword","Follow up","Archived","Private","Note"

It can be opened directly in Excel !

Hotsynced & it looks like it is entirely possible to enter notes on both the palm and the PC and for the changes to be merged.

I'm impressed.

Installing Python 2.3 to get access to the CSV library in the new version. This should make fiddling with Bonsai/Daynotez easy.

Python 2.3: easier said than done:

• errors installing win32com but it seems to complete

• had to recompile vim to get it to work. This included patching the source according to this link: http://distfiles.opendarwin.org/6.2.048

Argh, I've got this unnatural love for my palm, bonsai, daynotez and all things pornographic. Can't stop myself from fiddling around with it all (except the pornography).

• 8:39: Bisi woke up feeling sick. I am fine, skipping gym as I am still sore from the review on thursday.

• 11:51: Washed & vacuumed car.

• 12:09: Ok, first entry using a Palm Premium Screen Protector and first impressions are very good. Not sure that my entry speed is better: l think that looking at the stylus tip makes some improvement. So

  • how much ?

  • how long will it last ?

• 15:55: Signed up for bisiand.me.uk on oneandone.co.uk. Corny name designed to be easy to remember. Set up email addesses for bisi and me (ha ha).

• 18:00: Waited an hour (as advised) and domain still not actlve. No use for it for now but it's the principle. Hair cut.

• 16:43: Sitting in gym, waiting for Bisi and playing with palm. Must investigate screen protectors as the plastic that comes on it is getting pretty tired. I want to start using the palm for appointments since they are easier to enter and I take the palm everywhere anyway. Discovered I can beam appointments from phone to card but only one at a time so this is probably too fiddly to be useful.

Switcher5 is really neat. Can use it from the command bar (/) so don't have to press buttons.

• 17:44: Cajun hot one: a pizza hut pizza that you can taste.

• 22:00 Watched Matrix 3: good action, still don't understand the prophecy stuff. Cinema pretty empty for a new film on a friday night. Maybe because of 6:30 start time.
