Published my next post in a series of using a Palm Zire in October for the 2024 #retrochalllenge , this time on taking it on a work trip and using it in a modern office setting.

Palm in the office.

Debugging Palm calendar sync like it's 2007 at 30k feet.

(all I'm doing is trying out something the dev asked in a github issue, I couldn't debug C if my Zires life depended on it).

Conventional wisdom for growing in technology is to go to where your audience is, where I purposely target a very specific audience.

Over the past year I've been moving my daily tech stack away from always-connected to more purposeful offline-first technology.

Sure a phone can do everything these can in a smaller, lighter and more powerful package. But these allow me to fully disconnect from distractions and focus on a single task when needed.

I still heavily use my phone, but it's nice to have these as options and brings me more joy than any next-gen technology does.

Out and about with my Zire today.

And just like that the developer of the Palm calendar syncing tool I'm using fixed three issues I encountered when syncing calendars to my Zire.

Highly recommend palm-calendar-sync2 if you want to sync a modern .ics/webdav calendar to your Palm.
