Tue - October 28, 2008 Tue - January 29, 2008 Passing the wordKeeping passwords handy in any
situation WITHOUT losing them has been a struggle since the first computer user
decided that some files should be private.
www.teknopagan.com Mon - December 25, 2006 Suplimenting iBlog with CSSEditI am still experimenting with Cascading Style
Sheets. For an old HTML hand like me, it's been tough to break some
habits.
www.teknopagan.com Sun - November 12, 2006 Sun - October 1, 2006 Little old lady testMy never-fail test of if software is usable is
if my mother can use it. She has been a Mac user since the late 1980s, but she
has never been a "power user." Basically, she uses her iBook to surf the web,
keep track of people, email, write, and do an occasional spreadsheet. Most of
the bundled applications work fine for her. But Apple is phasing out their
software suite Appleworks, and it is time to find a replacement.

Palm TX continuously resetsThis isn't as big an issue as it could be, with
each of my old Palms a reset could mean that the entire memory was wiped and I
was back to square one. It's still annoying though, especially since I have to
manually reset PhoneMagic so it shows on the command bar. It was happening once
or twice a day.
www.teknopagan.com Sun - July 30, 2006 DateBk6 (beta) on the Palm TX - ReviewWhen the time came to install DateBk on my new
TX, I read some of the reviews of DateBk6. Even if it was in beta, users were
raving about it. So I took the jump and upgraded myself. Of course, I had to
hold off reviewing it until I had a chance to experiment with the features
some.

FindHack on the Palm TX - ReviewOne of my old favorites is back, and it works
on Palm OS 5 without HackMaster or X-Master.
www.teknopagan.com Sat - July 29, 2006 PrintBoy on the Palm TX - ReviewWhat a great idea! Printing directly from your
Palm through IR, Bluetooth, or WiFi. Pity it doesn't play nice with an Apple
AirPort Extreme.
www.teknopagan.com Sat - July 22, 2006 Palmary Clock on the Palm TX ReviewWhen I found that BigClock wouldn't work with
the alarms from TechSounds, I started looking for a more flexible clock
program.

TechSounds 5 on the Palm TX ReviewTechSounds is one of the reasons why I waited
so long before upgrading my Palm. A Palm just isn't a Palm unless it makes
computer sounds. What is the point of having a handheld computer that didn't
make occasionally annoying noises?
I should know, I have been using TechSounds since it was TrekSounds on my Palm IIIxe. I used TechSounds (with TechScreen) on my m515. I didn't want to upgrade until I had a Palm OS5 version.

PhoneMagic on the TX ReviewThis reliable program works just fine on a Palm
TX. But there are at least two things I wish it could do.
www.teknopagan.com Mon - July 10, 2006 Palm software - backupPalm doesn't make a backup card that will work
on their newer devices like the TX. That means third party solutions and an
existing expansion card.

Palm Software - Some Desk AccessoriesWay back in the with the first Macintosh
computers, Desk Accessories were very small specialized programs that you could
launch without having to exit the main application. So if you were in a word
processor and you needed some quick calculations, you could call up the
calculator, punch in a few numbers, and copy/paste the result in your document.
These were the early days of Macintosh when memory and storage were at a premium
and the OS was not multithreaded. Well, it looks like some programers have
borrowed that idea for the Palm platform, which isn't multithreaded yet.

Palm TX software - Phone lookup programsAs I have been looking at software for my new
Palm, one of the things that has struck me is how information that is free or at
a small cost on the internet proper requires extra cash on a PDA or mobile
phone. Nowhere is that more obvious than in programs that do reverse phone
look-up.
www.teknopagan.com Sat - June 3, 2006 Highway Manager - Wish ListI've been looking for a decent Palm milage
program that let me get to the information on my Macintosh. Not everyone has or
even wants a Windows machine, but milage information for deductions is just as
important to the rest of us.
www.teknopagan.com Fri - April 7, 2006 MacWindowsBoot Camp and Parallels Workstation come to
Macintosh, making multiple operating systems a practical
reality.
Apple just jumped ahead of Microsoft in mindshare. Again.
www.teknopagan.com Sat - January 7, 2006 Replacing Palm Desktop for MacintoshNo doubt about it, Palm Desktop for Macintosh
is getting a little long in the tooth these days. Now that I am thinking about
about a Treo 700p when they are available, it's time for me to start looking at
the alternatives.
Of course the obvious choice is Apple's Address Book and iCal, packaged with OS X. Thanks to iSync, it's supposed to be a breeze to use with practically any device. The drawback kept me from jumping before, there is no way to get to the memos kept on the Palm unless they are attached to an contact or a calendar item. But that was a few years ago and it is time to see what has changed.
www.teknopagan.com Fri - January 6, 2006 Automatically MacOne of the things that I used to have Domo iMac
and Kvasir Powerbook do was SETI@Home. This was a project using distributed
computing to analyze radio telescope signals to look for intelligent life "out
there." Well, the SETI@Home project has long since run out of funding and is
being folded into a distributed computing project called Berkley Open
Infrastructure for Network Computing. It's still a good idea, but I hate their
Mac client. So until I get things working to my satisfaction again, I need to
automate my computer so it is not on all the time.
www.teknopagan.com Wed - December 28, 2005 Adding to the Treo software wish listI've been scanning the web looking for software
that could make the Treo even more geekier. Here are some of the ones I have
found so far.
www.teknopagan.com Sat - December 10, 2005 Garage BandThere were three reasons why I bought
MaCei.
One, OS 9 software was getting a little dated. It was getting harder and harder to find things that would work. Two, I wanted an iPod to carry my music library with me and it was difficult to get an iPod to syncronize with my iMac at the time. And three, Garage Band.

Software Wishlist for Treo 700pFortunately I have a pretty good idea of what
to expect from the Treo 700p when it finally hits the market next year and I can
do some planning around it. There are some things that Palm didn't include as
part of the software, some serious goofs, and some things I would like to
have.
For the most part, my favorite Palm software works on the Treo 600 and 650, which means it should work on the 700p.

Favorite Palm Software - UpdatedOne of Palm's strengths has always been it's
third party software. There is a ton of stuff out there and most of it works
pretty well. There are some exceptions but I won't go into those here. These
are the proven winners and these programs will help you get the most out of your
Palm.

Hello There
This is my no frills blog to cover all the gadgets and gizmos and technology that makes 21st Century life so exciting. Think of it as a messy set of notes that I keep for myself on all sorts of topics. It's really intended for my personal use, but I will explain sometimes as I go along.
My passion is for Macintosh and other Apple products, but I will use others as needed. If my notes and experiences can help or amuse you, so much the better. Categories
