I haven't done fun silly computer things for their own sake in a really long time, and it's nice to be getting back to that.
Trying a thing to see if it's possible. Doing a thing to see what works.
I've especially been enjoying my soujorn in to palm pilot land!
There are a lot of roads not taken in computing, and the palm ecosystem really represents the signpost for the last one of those.
I very much like the idea of computers as tools to accomplish tasks. Sometimes the task is Play.
Sometimes the goal is to learn what's possible.
Hmmm. FOSS project idea.
(No, really. Build a PalmOS-like environment that runs on top of a Linux kernel, then install it on any rooted Android device. Somebody other than me should really do this.)
I have PHEM on my phone and it's an okay emulator.
My take toward this kind of stuff is less "let's go back to the old tech" and more, "let's recover what we lost when the old tech got phased out."
I want the speed and simplicity of the Palm but I also want memory protection and better scripting.
