Computing on the Road 5: Palm Patches

The m125 may actually be a really bad idea... Is it the last model Palm released with AAA batteries? If so, we're stuck with a bad thing. I have never patched so much, and I haven't even used my device...

US shipping

BTW, having a really ancient, out-dated PDA such as the Palm m125 can have its advantages. I just saw the PalmPak ebook series SciFi edition on offer at Amazon.com for a mere 88 cents (and that is for a pre-loaded...

Computing on the Road 4: Backup

This entry has been edited 29/09. The Palm manual is a mere 2MB (and 200 pges) long and I'm studying it today :} Christmas arrived early ;) The chaps at Ebay are speedy, most of the time. Except for the...

Will it ever end? (Computing on the Road 3)

Now here's a surprise: There is currently no reliable Open Source word processing software for Palm <OS 4.0 (but check out the exellent Tejpwriter (from Swedish for 'tape') for OS 5.0). And here are the problems I have with what...

Computing on the Road (2): the Saga Continues.

No matter what people say (and I know there are many cultist devotees), the Palm (any Palm as far as I'm concerned) is a pile of shit. Sure, it was never designed to work as an independent unit which will...

Getting ready: Computing on the Road (1)

My Palm m125 arrived last week. For those scratching their heads: the Palm m125 is a PDA which was state-of-the-art Anno 2000 with 8 Megs Ram (yeah, that's right, 8 Megs and a monochrome screen. But it has an SD...

Poule au Pot (Summer's Last Stand)

September leaves little to smile about. The sunny days of summer have been replaced by the leaden skies of autum and as the chill draws in, the clammy air creeps up my skin. It is now just above the temperature...

The Beginning of Autum...

Today I finally relented and fired up the gas fire in the lounge. The light outside is grey and although the leaves are still green, autum started last weekend when the first trees in the woods began to turn yellow...

Time of Reckoning

Confidence is supposed to increase with age and experience, but this is just not true. I have received a letter inviting me to speak [against] the planned developments at our Friendly Neighbourhood Atomic Weapons Establishment which has applied to build...

My take on Sachertorte

I don't usually bake. Where I come from, conditors serve a three year apprenticeship and we tend to leave these things to the professionals. However, tomorrow is John's birthday and I haven't gotten him a present (no, he can't have...
