There is further frustration with the limits of the challenge, | |
Again, not much network stuff going on...I think I just need to set | |
aside any expectations of what I thought this was going to be and | |
do what I can with what I got...just let the experience unfold as | |
it will. I am able to visit gopherholes and do other things...just | |
differently. I was not planning on any extensive or serious | |
personal computing projects...more like having a leisurely visit to | |
the past with my aging hard/soft/wet-ware...and gain a different | |
appreciation of what I do and use now. | |
Today I messed around a bit with Bhajis Loops on the E2. | |
"Bhajis Loops is an all-in one tool dedicated to the composition of | |
music for PalmOS Handhelds." | |
This application seems to have a lot of features. I installed this | |
some time ago but have not spent the time to really explore. They | |
have the software on palmdb.net with registration #'s or ways to | |
unlock the full version. | |
Palmdb.net has a whole library of old palm software. It is my go | |
to place when looking for the old favorites...or even discovering | |
new old favorites. I remember when the site first started and they | |
would have zip files of the entire collection. I think other users | |
also contributed their own collections as well. | |
j00 gots palm juarez, man??? | |
0-day palm juarez, bruh!!! LOLZ!!! | |
The collections were small, but growing. Eventually, it got big | |
enough to house all kinds of software individually with a database | |
and search engine. Not sure how legit all of these titles/reg#s | |
are, but I'm glad the resource is there. I know that some authors | |
have donated the software or put it in the public domain. The | |
author of Bhajis Loops gave it to the community and even used to | |
have a reg key generator on their website for your HotSync ID. The | |
site is no longer there, but it is available in the archives. | |
I am having to learn Bhajis Loops cookbook style...yes, I kinda | |
cheated for OCC...I have the documentation opened on my laptop and | |
learning on the E2. PalmOS doesn't multi-task and it would be a | |
pain to switch back and forth. | |
I have already found some limitations with running the program, | |
just navigating around, trying to learn, the application has | |
crashed 2x. I wouldn't want that to happened if I'm in the middle | |
of working on something and lose my work. I think it might have to | |
do with power (or lack of) or maybe a memory thing, I'll have to | |
play around with it m0ar. | |
The author of Bhajis Loops also has a.nother music app that I want | |
to explore next called microbe. It is also available at | |
palmdb.net. I'll try that one later. | |
