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 som
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 resituate
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 a
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 gi
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 a
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 th
screen for the N900 is bigger now with the TV.
