how-NOT-to: managing google & outlook contacts

January 31st, 2008
  1. backup both your contact lists
    - gmail: contacts > export > export to a csv file
    - outlook: file > import and export > export to a file > export to a csv (me: dos csv)
  2. import gmail csv contacts into outlook
  3. sync pocketpc to outlook
  4. shake head in disbelief at just how much of a mess you just made from your contacts

ha! booo. that’s a whole lot of gmail contact info to have to go through and sort now. bleh. i guess i should consider deleting my outlook contacts and my pocket outlook contacts, restore an old PIM Backup that isn’t all jacked, and re-sync with outlook. i really need to look at other methods of storing/sharing contacts between my various machines and the pocketpc.

 

eclipse android emulator

ha! check it out, a screen shot of bonq from an android emulator. the browser is based off the same webkit (need source) as the iphone’s safari browser. using a mouse i can emulate a finger and drag a proper webpage around to pan and what not.

there isn’t a whole lot in the emulator as far as phone configuration, i did go into the address book and added a new contact. it would be nice to have some way to automatically sync against your google contacts.
