well this is my first attempt at posting to my blog via email… i know that
he has done it before so i am trying it out as well…
there are a few problems about posting via email though… for one. you are
unable to preview the post before sending and another big one is that you are
unable to comment…
that is a real bummer…
so, here are a couple of screenshots of what i have running on my psion…
this first one is a screenshot of what my desktop looks like…
it is one of the coolest things that i have ever had in my own two little
hands… since i have never had a pc of my own… i have used pc’s for work
and all that but we are not pc people… so, again this is the greatest thing
to me… i love that i can choose any picture that i want as my main desktop
and have all the applications that i usually have running along the sides…
on there i have links to my personal notes database, email, web client, voice
note taker, radio for the albuquerque area, my agenda, contacts, diary, his
notes in i_p, text adventure zip file and the list of all the films that we
have seen in the last year or so… we have over 400 movies (most of them on
laserdisc)… 🙂
along the bottom is the toolbar where i can choose a different desktop, add
files, folders, write notes right over top the entire thing, a calendar,
calculator, time pop-up to make schedule changes, dialer, backlight and sound
managers, disk usage monitor, link manager and at the far right is where i can
run all my macros…
have i mentioned how much i love this thing?
well, onto the next screenshot… this one is of all my other programs that
run from my extras bar…
this is where all my programs can be launched from… as you can see that i
am trying out a million and one things and use many of them all the time… i
have yet to get them organized but i still feel like i am moving in since i
have only had this computer for a month yesterday…
on the bottom row is DCP, which is my desktop…
OPL is the programming language for psion, my comms, record is a recording
program which works with my voice man and the manager… voice man and the
manager make it so that every time i turn on my computer i get a little pop-up
that reminds me that i have a pending voice note… great application…
bombs is a game that i never play, spell is what you think it is… and then
there is my web and email programs…
on the second row is sound which is the basic sound editor, MBMView is a
wonderful pic viewer… i have a great slideshow that will take all the pics
in many formats and convert them and shows them at an interval that is chosen
by the user… it has been much used at work and has been the topic of some
interesting conversations… 🙂
then there is the zip and news reader apps… i have yet to use the news
reader but have it for the one time i want it… the utility program next to
that has been nice for finding all those useless files that need to be zipped
up or deleted… i used alot of his programs when i was using the psion 3…
then frotz is the app that lets me play my text adventures… macros is a
necessity… you can not really get by without it…
the next row has tons of disk utilities that i have been playing woth lately
from comapcting filesm disk checker for bad and fragged files, optimizer is
much the same, smart format is for formatting my CF cards, disk editor is
another disk utility program… nightkeys is nice because it brings up an
on-screen keyboard for when you can not see the keys at night (hence the
name)… no more is something that i am unsure of at the moment… hermes is
a taskbar thing but i have not used it since i use DCP and do not need a
taskbar that follows me everywhere at this time… i know that i will use it
eventually…
and finally the last row… alternet is an internet tools and has a db of
places to get programs…
narchive is great… it takes all the files that you do not need all the time
and packs them into a small file and then unpacks them back where you got them
from… i am working with that as soon as i get done posting this…
i am unsure of expander… reclaim does just that, reclaims space…
solun is beautiful… there are screenshots in our psion grabs space… it is
a planetarium in your pocket… too bad it has been cloudy the last 2 days…
real maps is something that i have not played with much either… i know that
it is popular in the UK… it has maps of all kinds of places and you can
modify them to make them more personal to what you need… nirc is my irc
client that i have yet to use…
more has all the other programs that are not listed on the immediate extras…
on there i have Opera, another ftp client, an html designer, icon designer
and modifier and some other programs…
ok, so now we are done with the long stuff and onto the easier things…
here is a pic of what the Dreamcast Girls Yahoo! group looks like using Opera
since web can not get there…
this is a group that i have had for a long time… it is a yahoo group that
was started because i wanted to meet other girls that had a dreamcast game
system… it is great for people that want to be online and do not want a
pc… there is not that many members but there are a few of us that have been
around since the beginning before it was a yahoo group and just a message
board… and yes, it is a girls only group… i do moderate membership but
not posts… it is a very social place and we talk about very personal things
along with just the latest game that we are playing… thanks to all the
girls there that have helped me have faith in the group… it does not change
much but i have always been pleased with the look and feel of the place…
the girls there are some of my best friends and have helped me through some
times in my life that i could not have managed as well if they were not there
to help me… do not let anyone tell you that people online can not be real
friends… they have been some of the best friends that i have ever had…
i love you guys… 🙂
and last but not least, a picture of my homepage and blog using the built-in
web program…
i had just finished moving all my live journal posts over and now i am about
to post this…
so, there they are… i am praying this works because i am unable to change
my posts once they are made… i have to delete them and re-post… i
dunno… at least if i do it from email i will have a copy in my sent folder
and can make any adjustments from there and re-post… so here goes…
