[Wlug] RAZR w/ Linux, Ruby tutorial

[John Stoffel]

Bill> First, I was talking to someone about accessing the RAZR from
Bill> Linux via USB.  (Sorry-- I'm terrible with names.)  The program
Bill> that I use is moto4lin, and is available for free from
Bill> SourceForge at: http://moto4lin.sourceforge.net/wiki/Main_Page .

I think I remember using this tool to access my V551 via BlueTooth on
my linux box, but it was a pain.  I may have ended up going into KDE
instead of gnome and browsing to bluetooth:// instead.  

In any case, it's a pain.  If you want to sync your phone so you don't
lose your contacts and such, try the service on yahoo.
http://mobile.yahoo.com where I was able to upload my phone book quite
easily over a web connection.  It's a work phone, so I don't worry
about the costs.  *grin*  

Bill> One may (or may not) need p2kmoto, which is available from:
Bill> http://sourceforge.net/projects/moto4lin (the information is
Bill> available from the main page).

Has anyone else gotten it to work reliably with BlueTooth? 

Bill> All-told, the installation of both parts are covered in the
Bill> documentation, and it's pretty straight-forward.

But the moto4lin website sucks rocks.  Who is crazy enough to think a
wiki is a web site?  

Bill> Second, I had asked several about Ruby tutorials, and mentioned
Bill> that I found one source that was a bit...  ...odd, though I
Bill> couldn't remember the name of it.  It is "Why's (Poignant) Guide
Bill> to Ruby, which is found at http://poignantguide.net/ruby/ .


Bill> Third, as for a list of what my employer has for what we are
Bill> getting rid of, we're in the process of building a list...  When
Bill> something is available, I'll let you know.  :)
 
Oh!  Post to the list so we vultures can gather around.  Whee!
