the embarassing odd phone conversation of the day

cell phone rings

me: heeelllo
phone: gavin, it's terry
me: hey man what's up?
phone: i'm sitting here in the bishops office
me: yeah
phone: he's showing me some youtube videos (laugh ensues)
me: greeeaaat (chuckle)
phone: i actually need a mac favor
me: i can try to help
phone: he's trying to sync his trio with his macbook, but doesn't want to mess up his trio with his secretary's outlook
me: okay, i can come in on thursday to work that up
phone: (talking to bishop) is thursday alright? (bishop talks back, laughs) thursday is fine as long as you are clothed properly
me: (smiling) i suppose i can do that, see you thursday

problem here. i have never synced someone's trio to a macbook (most folks i know have one or the other, not both) anyone out there have some tips? maybe you techno pastor?

update: so you can know, the bish uses a palm treo 700p, he was using a treo 650. you will be happy to know that tech support in india (their distinction not mine) sorted the whole thing out yesterday. so bish is happy and i get my afternoon. and i don't have to worry about my particular clothing. &:~)

Just a couple of weeks ago I was in a meeting with Bishop Crutchfield and mentioned to him how much Bish Wills loves the YouTube videos. (I think all the other bishes know who's the coolest...how many of them have Harleys, anyway?)

You need to know if it the Treo is running Palm or Windows Mobile.

Then you need to go buy the appropriate version of MissingSync (http://www.markspace.com).

It should be fairly straight forward.

HTH,

Dude...did you just lie to the BISHOP??

Jackson nailed it. If he has a MAC, he should get MissingSync from MarkSpace. Life will be MUCH easier.

If the Treo model ends with "W" then it's Windows Mobile, ends with a "P" then it's Palm.

The software costs $39.95, but is essential if you have a MAC and Treo combination. Works great on my Treo 700p.

If you really want to impress him, you can try to find a copy of the iPhony program that was out for a while until Apple threatened legal action. The program acts as a skin/program launcher that emulates the look of the Apple iPhone. Very cool.

What you need to do is go in there PANTLESS!

I use missingsync with my Macbook pro and treo 700wx and it works great. Had a little trouble the first time, but after that it's been easy!

Dearest Brother Gavin,

I greet you in the love of Christ.

. . . the wearing of costly apparel is directly opposite to the being “adorned with good
works.” Nothing can be more evident than this; for the more you lay out on your own apparel, the
less you have left to clothe the naked, to feed the hungry, to lodge the strangers, to relieve those
that are sick and in prison, and to lessen the numberless afflictions to which we are exposed in
this vale of tears. And here is no room for the evasion used before, “I may be as humble in cloth
of gold as in sackcloth.” If you could be as humble when you choose costly as when you choose
plain apparel (which I flatly deny), yet you could not be as beneficent, as plenteous in good
works. Every shilling which you save from your own apparel you may expend in clothing the
naked, and relieving the various necessities of the poor, whom ye “have always with you.”

Remember this when greeting your Bishop! And check your fly.

God's most humble servant, I remain,
John Wesley

I agree with John.
Check your fly.

Is that what it means when Randy says "Dawg! Those pants are FLY!"

[DogBlogger]

John Wesley speaks the truth yet again. Peace to you, Brother John!

[gavin]

john, did you have issues like this with asbury? just curious

thanks for the help folks!

[John]

And check your fly.

I'll add that to my list of favorite quotations by JW.
