Way too much time on my hands!

[psychomom]

I used to wait impatiently at my computer while my hotsync took FOREVER to do its job, so now I plug her in and get my daily domestic chores out of the way while I sync.

Today, for some unknown reason, this song popped into my head (to the tune of "My Guitar Gently Weeps" by George Harrison):

I washed all the pots
Made the beds
Did the dishes
While my Clie slowly syncs . . .

Just thought I'd share this bit of drivel with you all! :rolleyes:

[anniebluesky]

Wow, you can get all of that done? My Clie is much faster at hotysyncing apparently. The song that comes to my mind is one by Alabama...

"I'm in a hurry to get things done
Oh I rush and rush until life's no fun
All I really gotta do is live and die
But I'm in a hurry and don't know why"

Do you use Docks to go or do you use a sereal cable?

I use my docking cradle and 'Local USB'. Is that what you wanted to know?

That's one of the coolest things about the NX (and probably the TG); hotsyncs take almost no time. It's amazing how much faster it goes. Time to upgrade :)

[Alejandrico]

why is so?

[rldunn]

If that last question was addressed to me, the NX has faster hotsyncs presumably because of the faster chip speed and maybe also OS5 helped optimize hotsync some too. But I bet it's mostly due to chip speed.

I have found that it's not only is faster in hotsyncing, but using MS Import as well. There is NOT a card reader out there that I have found so far that even comes close.

I love this song! But now I've got it stuck in my head, thanks! Anyway. There are a couple of things I've done to speed up the hotsync time on my T665c.

First, I don't update ALL of my Handstory clips every day. Just a select few, like the news clips.

Second, I don't know if any of you are using Pocket Quicken but I just realized you can have it sync only the week or twos transactions vs. all of them. That has REALLY saved time.

Third, I don't sync Avantgo every time I sync.

I thinkmy hotsync time has been cut in half with these modifications.

By far the slowest hotsync I endured was with conduit overkill:

Dataviz Mail synced to LotusNotes with attachments chosen
Avantgo with maximum sites allowed
Docs to Go with word, excel and powerpoint files synced

Never do that again. I keep most conduits defaulted to "do nothing".

I wanted to know what the person who started the thread was using. (my Clie slowly syncs)

Hi Rick 098,

I use a serial cable, but when I made up that song it was a bit of poetic license - it doesn't really take THAT long to sync! Just a matter of a couple of minutes when I download my daily AvantGo.

[Rick 098]

Oh, the sereal cable i hear takes about twice as long to sync.
And i know you were exagerating somewhat.

Ps. just call me Erik.
