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.
