just because I found this in an old email to the UA list, and though that there might be other people out there looking for it:
A quick google on “harvard ldap” turns up this
and if I remember right from setting it up in mac mail, the important parts are phonebook.harvard.edu port 389 no ssl, and “o=Harvard University, c=US”
So a while ago I fought with ical and bluetooth setup assistant and my verizon motorola v710 with bluetooth… and got isync to sync calendars and phone numbers with it! it was amazing!
but then i updated to os x 10.4.3, and a new isync came in– 2.1.1! twas death for such a miraculous world, where devices actually talked to one another…
BUT all was not lost: fighting the same fight, I got it back: and here’s the one change you have to make: open /Applications: iSync.app: Contents: PlugIns: ApplePhoneConduit.syncdevice: Contents: PlugIns: PhoneModelsSync.phoneplugin: Contents: Resources: MetaClasses.plist and change the InheritsFrom key to look like this: “com.motorola.usb-bt.0×22B8/0×4902″
(source: http://www.macosxhints.com/article.php?story=20050501151747917)
(it used to look like “com.motorola.usb.0×22B8/0×22A22
then delete the phone in isync, and re-add it– and all should work.
now: to get bluetooth modem working…
Well, on the night of columbus’ arrival in the united states of pillage-the-native- America, in the august year of 2005, a party was had.
and we were had, and hupd was had, and never was evered, and etc and etc, a camera card was lost, a camera was found, a keg was not kicked, but it had many feet on it, and if that cop had to come back a third time, ’somebody’s going to jail!’ (i vote evan. imean, he’s already on the list.)
SO, to commemorate that fine occasion of debauch and ery, appropriate use of lowell-open, the virtues of saturday night emails, the virtues of saturday night vs sunday night, the virtues and lack thereof of your mom, etcetera, here’s the score:
that guy who spilled chips on the floor that we walked on for a week: 0
the vacuum that we got two weeks ago to clean up for the party a month ago: 1
the keg: 1/2.
the dining hall ice machine: 0
the handle pf saphire: dead and recycled already.
the handle of jose cuervo, mi amigo mejor: circa 600mL.
the *handle* of triple sec: still going strong
long island: drunk, completely drunk.
your mom: also, drunk, completely drunk.
the smirnoff: one down, another one almost down. just needs another case of the sundays and it’ll be out like the fat kid in dodgeball.
the cookies: so gone i almost forgot them.
jeff’s family table: survived but don’t tell him about the fifth leg. he hasn’t noticed yet.
and the pictures? well, since my bed was *not* in fact dribbled on, they’re up!!! (hear that beth? they’re up!!) www.johnnoss.com/bowchickawowwow. But woe to you who again threatens my bed and the alley between 10 and 20 dewolfe…
thats all folks! stay tuned, we’ll be right back after this break–
does anybody else remember those problem solving books we did in fifth grade? the ones where there was a boat, and a much of stuff to get across the river; or you had to make a certain pattern with a compass and a ruler, or solve some math puzzle… what were those called?
and when was the last time we got to use compasses in class? those were the days…
Why did Bobby Fisher marry a woman from Prague?
He was looking for a Czech mate.
they just aren’t thumbnailed or anything yet. feel free to check out johnnoss.com/photos if you’re absolutely desparate. but i can keep the internet til they open at 8am tomorrow morning, so theres a pretty good chance thumbnails’ll happen as promised
in other news its a damn good thing these ovens come with built in broilers. cause i just mailed my entire kitchen to myself, and i want a burger.
in other news, my computer is working again! (mostly). instant messenger is part of it that isn’t. but, thats ok because i have to write this paper by tomorrow, and, well, I get paid a thousand bucks for doing it… so, it might as well be good 
pictures are forthcoming, i promise. before thursday 9am, really.
so uh, its going to be a while, if ever, that the pictures and stuff will
be up here. MAYBE in the next three days, while im trying to write a
paper, pack, clean the room, and do more work on the drainage flux
tower in the valle grande… but maybe in september when im back at school
with fast internet? or maybe never if my hard drive is really fried like
im scared it is. and i even have a backup drive! damn im an idiot.
ah well. live and learn.
is one of the most fun things ive ever found to do.
