Syncing your S60

Recently I upgraded my phone to a Nokia N81. I set up my Zyb account, and sync'd my contacts, and realised that I could not schedule syncs like I had with my SE w810i. Until this morning, when Russell pointed out on IRC that there was a tool for that

Telkom is awesome.

In a week we are moving houses. We have a list of things that need to be sorted before we move. So, one of the things on the list is moving our phone line/ADSL. I have a one price ADSL from cybersmart so I can take advantage of their Night

Blame it on the Tetons [snip]

Finley very much enjoys when we play Modest Mouse (usually very loud), and goes nuts for a track called 'The View'. He dances like crazy and screams a lot (in a lets tear the roof off this party kind of way). This post isn't about Finley's music taste though, it
