I just wanted to post something strange that was happening to me the other day. I have used calendar sync for awhile now and absolutely love it. I recently got a droid and needed calendar sync to do a bit more work. I need it to sync calendar dates between my work exchange computer, my laptop, my home computer, and droid will then sync with Google calendar. I was having a problem with certain events not being synced. It was mostly repeating events and certain events on my work computer. I have a Gmail account but i didn't start using it until i got a droid. My Gmail login used my regular email. I was using my consultsteimel.com email to log into the calendar sync accounts. I changed to logins to my actual Gmail account and the problem went away.

Best file transfer client Filezilla FTP or SCP - client or server

Filezilla is by far the best file transfer program out there. You can use it for scp or ftp and is very robust. Filezilla is a open source program that has been in production for years. It finally went production a few years back and is still coming out with new versions. Not only is it a client but filezilla also comes with a server too.
Here are some excerps from there website.

Firefox Collections

This is something I just found the other day while looking for some new add-ons. Firefox offers collections which provide add-ons for a specific type of user. There is a social collection, web developer collection and so on. Something i never noticed before and something to look at the next time your adding things to your firefox browser.

Speed up the Internet with faster DNS

With Google Opendns and Ultradns all having free available DNS servers, you can pick and choose which is the fastest. I ran this tool at work and at home and it was 35 to 40% faster. At my home it found a different verizon DNS server, at work it found openDNS to be faster then my office's public DNS server. I run that dns server, so i guess i should get crackin at speeding that thing up. It was the second faster DSN server though, eh whatever. I noticed a difference almost immediately while cruising the interwebs, Domain lookups are much faster.

Here is the definition of DNS for everyone there
Domain Name System: A database system that translates an IP address into a domain name. For example, a
numeric IP address like 207.219.116.4 is converted into netlingo.com. ...

Endpoint Mapper

windows 2003 Server
When tyring to rejoin a computer to the domain recieved an error
"There are no more endpoints available from the endpoint mapper"

Make sure that ports 1094,1029,6004,1025 are open both ways also port 136.
Try joining the domain with a different name, it will join the domain and then tell you the name is wrong and change it to the previous name.
