So, I got myself a new mobile phone. The nicest gizmo: Bluetooth. I quickly decided to purchase a Sitecom CN500 USB dongle to let my phone and PC talk to each other. This is the first time in the four years that I have my PC, by the way, that I use the USB facility!

The next challenge, of course: making it work on Mandrake Linux! Two important programs, BlueZ and GNOME Bluetooth fortunately were already in Cooker. I've also found GNOME Bluephone but it isn't working reliably for me yet. I'd really like to get the calendar synchronization working, too. Multisync looks promising, but it segfaulted on the first attempt to actually do something.

I'm going to bed now, more to follow...
