August 2016:
First file on a Gopher site...
==============================
OK, I finally set up my gopher pages. I do not plan to write things here
on a regular basis - most probably I will put just some short texts here.
The first thing: the PalmPix camera for the Palm III and Linux:
===============================================================
1. You need to have the camera, of course.
2. The photos are stored in the file ArchImage.pdb
3. On the Linux:
a) pilot-xfer -f ArchImage
b) palmpix -l -i ArchImage.pdb
(you will have a bunch of PPM images in the directory)
c) for aa in *.ppm; do convert $aa `echo $aa |sed "s/ppm/jpg/g"`; done
(you need ImageMagick for this)
Some notes:
-----------
* The pictures are 640x480 at max. So do not expect mireacles.
* Palmpix (or pid) software is available here:
http://www.handheldshell.com/oldsoftware/PalmPix.html
(use the latest 0.54 version and don't try to compile it on
big-endian machines)
* You might be able to use "pilot-read-palmpix" software
from the "pilot-link" package.
But it does not work for me (on the debian/ubuntu).
