How to make Jpilot start on Sunday.

        Well, with the Ubuntu upgrade, all my applications got upgraded
(whether they wanted it or not!). One of the things about the GTK+2
stuff, is that Jpilot doesn't have an option to set what day of the week
you want to start from -- oh no, it reads that from the locale setting
now! (Better hope you live in a locale where the week starts on your
day ;)).

        As a way to force it to start the day on Sunday, I put the following in
my ~/.kde/Autostart/jpilot file
#!/bin/bash

LANG=en_IE.UTF-8 jpilot &

And now I get Sunday - Saturday for my weeks :)

I'm also quite happy to note that the Visor sync bug that paniced the
old 2.6 kernels doesn't exist in the kernel shipped with Ubuntu; I
synced my Palm with Linux for the first time since I upgraded to a USB
capable Palm. It's also yonks faster than syncing with Palm's official
suite (which usually freaks out and crashes when it gets to my 1.2mb
memo db).

Hooray for Opensource.
