Computing on the Road 5: Palm Patches

Friday, September 30th, 2005

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 for anything yet.

The m125 (and I think I may have said this before) is skeletal. It (at least mine) runs OS 4.0.1 which is 0.0.9 points behind version 4.1 which you need if you actually want to use those cards that fit in the slot. I have already pointed out that the device can’t read cards >64 MB (Palm coyly claim 128MB on the download site, but they mention 64MB, and even 32 MB on one of their FAQ(you) pages—so what is it?). Even worse, Palm states that inserting such cards which have not been formated on a Palm device can lead to data loss. Cheers. I suppose I should be grateful that I did not pay full price for my 64MB Proporta ProBackup card. Of course, Palm will not take the blame—read the small print (even if you have to dig deep to find it)! You need:

Computing on the Road 4: Backup

Wednesday, September 28th, 2005

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 guy whose laptop I bought—he seems to have gone into hibernation. I know, he’s a small-scale private seller with a dayjob and little time, but I’m paranoid because it’s the most expensive thing I have ever ordered online and my experience with Amacon.co.uk still gives me the jitters. However, Ebay sellers take their feedback-ratings rather more seriously. But I digress. The postman rang the bell this morning with no fewer than 3 envelpes for me: 32MB SD card, all the way from Hongkong: check. Kingston Travellite USB card reader (backwards compatible with USB 1.1): check. Proporta Probackup 64MB MultiMedia Card: check.

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

Tuesday, September 27th, 2005

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 else is on offer (also see thePalm Writing site):

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

Monday, September 26th, 2005

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 talk to any old computer in any old internet café, but this thing amounts to less than even the minimum bare bones I would expect to see bundled with an old Amstrad or whatever.

Getting ready: Computing on the Road (1)

Sunday, September 25th, 2005

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 card slot and, more importantly, it runs on a twin-set of AAA batteries.

What, I hear you whisper, is that all about?

On the Cusp of new Technology

Thursday, July 14th, 2005

Three weeks to go until WorldCon! I’m excited; I have never been to a convention before but imagine it to be like a conference with only fun items on the agenda. There is actually an ‘academic’ programe where stern people in suits analyse my favourite authors to shreds and if I feel like a real laugh I might drop by some sessions 😉 There is also a scientific programe where SciFi writers and fans can catch up with some of the latest developments and as the venue is opposite the Glasgow Science Centre I expect some happenings over there, although the city of Glasgow has been surprisingly quiet about doing anything for the convention beyond offering some discount vouchers. Not like a real conference then.

The Gremlins are lose

Sunday, June 26th, 2005

I am at the end of my tether with all things writing-connected. Blogger has deleted my blogs, and this grates enormously. My blogs may not have had many readers, they may not have been particularly interesting or well-written, but they mattered to me and I feel wronged. I had come to rely on the web as a place to write and post comments and thoughts. Google has taken over the old newsgroups and on rasfs I can still read posts dating back to 1991 (which was a fertile year for discussing world building and alien biology). I assumed the internet was a safe place for information exchange.

Goodbye Computer

Thursday, June 16th, 2005

After eight years of faithful service, we are about to retire our computer. It has served us well and it could hobble along for a bit longer with memory upgrades, but it is as far from today’s PCs as a horse-drawn cart is from a Ferrari. I am tired of not being able to take part in the fun on the web: videos, music, real-time multi-player games. It is time to join the digital revolution proper: I feel old and out of touch, just like this wretched machine. And I can no longer abide this beta-version of AbiWord I am forced to use: there are bugs in it which occasionally overwrite text instead of inserting it (fun if you insert a paragraph in a story without backup) and (I’m not kidding!) sometimes causes me to write backwards which I’m sure is hilarious if anyone could see my face, but less funny if you’re writing down an idea that is about to go *puff*.
