OCC Day ][: | |
Not much time for OCC, aside from PIM stuff on the go and some | |
journaling. There was much meatspace stuff going on...met with some | |
friends at a community picnic and won the raffle, did a bunch of | |
walking, practiced guitar, took a nap, etc. | |
The time I did have for OCC was mostly on the E2, getting resituated | |
with the PIM stuff and browsing stuff that was on there from before. | |
I think I give myself m0ar time to think when I use PalmOS and the | |
PIM apps are very simple and not distracting as modern devices. | |
Also, I miss the precision of a stylus on a resistive screen. No | |
fat-fingering or fingerprints! | |
The N900 stuff was mostly setup and troubleshooting. The bluetooth | |
keyboard I was using will only type lowercase alpha keys, so for | |
everything else, I had to use the thumb keyboard. I gotta find a | |
better way. | |
OCC Day ]|[ | |
I decided to go with a table top TV/monitior setup for the N900. | |
It's one I use for my retro gaming on a Raspberry Pi. The TV has an | |
RCA jack, which the N900 interfaces with. | |
Terminal work on the N900 has been frustrating since half of the | |
time, I am thumb typing. Must find better solution.. | |
Since I have not been personal computing much in recent days, there | |
hasn't been much need to do anything resource intensive...but my | |
choice in hardware is making things difficult for Intarwebz stuff. | |
So I end up doing without. m0ar time doing analogue things, like | |
reading, talking to people, walking, playing guitar. It doesn't give | |
me much to write about in regards to te challenge. I do feel like | |
I'm computing like back in the day, where online time was limited and | |
most computing time was offline. The time online for OCC is mainly | |
to upload phosts. Once I improve my keyboard situation with the | |
N900, I should have m0ar options for stuff to do online. Or maybe | |
the bulk of this challenge will have me mostly offline. Atleast the | |
screen for the N900 is bigger now with the TV. | |
