Sync Toy Discovery… continued
As wonderful as it was to learn that Microsoft’s Sync Toy would in fact sync a PST file provided is was located in the My Documents folder, I’m running into a new problem. (By the way, Outlook 2010 seems to automatically store the PST file in an Outlook Files folder under your My Docs)
It is possible to use the Task Scheduler built in to every PC to have Sync Toy run automatically at any given interval, BUT it doesn’t seem to run pairs that require reaching over the LAN. So if you were looking to sync files located on your to an external hard drive and files from another computer on the network to the same external hard drive – the ‘scheduled’ Sync Toy will only run the pair with your files and not the pair involving the other computer. Even if you use the operator -R that tells the Task Scheduler to run all pairs.
I wonder how many people understood all that! lol

Sync Toy Discovery
I was trying to craft a back-up system over my office network while using a free file sync application such as Microsoft’s Sync Toy. Of course I’m aware that Sync Toy reportly will not sync .pst files.
Turns out it has to do with its location and not the file type. Move your .pst file to your My Documents and have your Outlook look there for the file, then sync! Damn thing worked. I’m thrilled and I hope this knowledge helps someone.

Bogus Comments
You know, I can understand aggressive marking in the form of leaving comments on people’s blogs so to generate clicks, BUT I REALLY don’t want the fake comments that are just barely worded properly and are so general that you can apply them to any blog. What irks me also is that they are usually flattering in hopes that you’ll leave them up since they only make your blog ‘look good.
That’s really low and annoying as all hell. Thank god WordPress offers you the ability to moderate any comment before publishing it.
So yes, the moderating of comments is another plus for WordPress. I have to say that I’m pretty impressed with the format. I wish it was just a tad easier to change the layout or add widgets, but overall it’s gotten much better than when I tried blog script 5 years ago.
Back then, WordPress didn’t seem to have any way to add ‘widgets’ without adding them directly to code. I still don’t like it that the code is broken up into so many separate files. It makes editing them a bit of an annoyance. Sadly, that hasn’t been improved upon.
I’m very happy with the new layout and controls though. It’s easy to add categories, tags, and modify the body of the post. I need to try out links and media though to get a full feel for the script.
