New toy

I have a Palm now. It is shiny. It has buttons on it. I cannot stop pressing them.

*gleeful, manic grin*

Okay, it ain't quiiiiiiiite that bad, but I have spent the entire evening copying over the contents of my pen-and-paper address book and calendar, along with anything else I can think of. I think I've HotSynced the sucker a good ten times already.

For the record: [livejournal.com profile] myriah is teh rox0r. For this and several other reasons.

Palms are WAY too much fun. I still get a kick every time I beam something.

Seriously. I go all giggly and bounce. Yo soy un dork.

I've got megs and megs of books in .pdb... Let me know if you want. :)

Hmmm. I miiiiiiiiiight. I've never liked the idea of reading books off a leetle screen, but it suddenly occurs to me that it would beat lugging around thousand-page paperbacks to read while waiting for BART, on evenings when I'm not carrying anything else and thus can't justify a backpack. What kinda books ya got?

[identity profile] mitrian.livejournal.com 2003-11-04 11:43 pm (UTC)(link)
Lots of stuff. Some tech books, a lot of scifi and fantasy, maybe a bit of pr0n... All the Discworld books but the last two, and I can prob'ly get those tomorrow.

I burnt it all to a CD, which I just need to locate. (I put it away - now I just need to remember where 'away' is. Argh.) I'll email you a list in the next couple days, once I find and sort it out a bit.

Rox0r. All but the tech sounds good.

Ahah! This explains why you were so sensuously running your fingers up and down my M515 yesterday! *grin*

What model did you get?

[personal profile] auros 2003-11-05 10:40 am (UTC)(link)
my M515

Is that what the kids are calling 'em these days? *waggles eyebrows*

I am beginning to be tempted by palmphones of various sorts. Consolidating addressbook, calendar, and the actual phone -- esp if the device could be used to browse and send email using my regular auros.org account -- would be nice...

Zire 21. And no, I run my fingers over just about anything that has a nice texture, whether I'm coveting it or not. *vbg*

Make me give you the LifeBalance sales pitch. Everybody needs the LifeBalance sales pitch.

And I have some other cute random apps, but LifeBalance is the big one.

the lifebalance sales pitch?

[identity profile] angelbob.livejournal.com 2003-11-05 11:53 am (UTC)(link)
LifeBalance is an app. It's a really good app. Everybody should see it, even though not everybody will want to use it (or pay to register it, it's shareware).

I was thrilled to have a Palm because it added a level of organization to my life. LifeBalance approximately doubled the amount of organization benefit that I get from the Palm, 'cause the normal To-Do list really sucks and LifeBalance is wonderful.

If you feel like a quick summary, the guys who make it are called LlamaGraphics (http://www.llamagraphics.com). They're pretty cool as well -- I've met them in person, and they also respond well to comments and questions. Score one more for itty-bitty software companies where you can actually talk to the people who do the work and know what's going on.

Mmmm, new palm.

Am I the only one that thinks that is dirty?

[identity profile] vvvexation.livejournal.com 2003-11-05 01:46 pm (UTC)(link)
How can it be dirty when it's shiny?

*halo*

Sweet. I'm sticking with my cute 10-pound laptop. :-)

YAY! Have fun with your palm.
Wait, that came out wrong. ;)

Oh, the snarky comments I could make.
