Treo 755p, Bluetooth, pdanet….

For anyone out there that might be interested. After days and days of trying to get Pdanet to play nicely with my Sprint Treo 755p, my Vista laptop and bluetooth, I finally have success!

First, I installed Pdanet on my lappy. Second, I had to go into Windows Firewall and tell it not to protect the pdanet connection.

To use pdanet over the bluetooth connection it is simply a matter of ending the hotsync program. It seems that the hotsync program takes over the port even if it says that it isn’t. So that allows me to use pdanet. Oh, make sure that you’ve checked “use bluetooth” in the settings of pdanet.

Then to use bluetooth, I uncheck the “use bluetooth” option and exit pdanet. This appears to free up the port and I am able to use the bluetooth to hotsync. Oh yes, don’t forget that you have to re-launch the hotsync manager program before you can hotsync. Also make sure that serial and bluetooth are checked in the connection settings in hotsync manager.

Anyhow, after many hours of trying to get it to work, this is the process that I use to get it to work. Of course, YMMV.

Greetings from Egypt

So, why Wandering Aramean?

There is a fairly obscure reference in the book of Deutoronomy that states “Then you shall declare before the LORD your God: “My father was a wandering Aramean, and he went down into Egypt with a few people and lived there and became a great nation, powerful and numerous…” Basically it is a command by God that when the nation of Israel is established in the Promised Land they are to remember what it was like for their fathers and forefathers to be in bondage and then later to be wanderers without a home.

The more I reflected on the book of Exodus the more I realized the similarities between the Israelites march out of Egypt and my quest for answers as what it means to be a part of the Body of Christ. I hope you enjoy (and can relate to) my meanderings and wanderings

Manna from heaven

Is it possible that I have found sustenance?

Have I found a way to post to my blog using my Treo 755p and my bluetooth keyboard? It may not seem like much to you reading this but this has been something that I have been trying to accomplish for quite some time.
