The Law of Sods continues to plague me, even as I recovered from my near-death experience yesterday. Today, it would seem that the God Of Personal Digital Assistants was scrambling around the dustier corners of his particular realm when he suddenly found an ancient scroll, wherein it is written:
And lo, just when the poor sod has recovered his composure and is of a busy frame of mind and much in need of organisation of the handheld kind, it is dereed that thou shalt make his Personal Digital Assistant screw around something rotten with much mulching of data and hosing of schedules.And once the Personal Digital Assistant has screwed him around something rotten for just a little too long for his liking, it will then similarly affect his laptop whilst synchronising the aforementioned bollocksed data.
As you can probably tell, today wasn't great - bad stuff tends to happen when one is busiest and today was a corker.

If you check out the comments, you'll notice I received the following advice on my PDA problem from emma the sys ad:
Um... from a techie persepective I would say you've got one of two choices... 1. pray 2. if praying fails... hit it with a hammer... it may not fix the problem, but it'll make you feel a whole lot better (well for 5 minutes)
I'm so glad she doesn't look after my PCs any more. For those who've read this far and are truly interested, I suspect that a corrupt Memo database was the issue. A clean install of the desktop and data files minus the suspect stuff seems to have sorted it all for now - fingers crossed.
