It’s alive! Reviving my iPaq

Posted on June 2nd, 2006 by Sacha Chua

I've decided to experiment with carrying an electronic device around again. Several people have reported seeing Moleskines coexist with PDAs, so I want to see if the two will play nicely together for me. ;) This is a Compaq-era iPaq (but not the research lab iPaq they sent me before; I miss that). Nostalgia alert!

I am once again impressed by Microsoft Transcriber, which understands my script/chickenscratches. Totally awesome.

I might use this to keep track of my calendar. If I can figure out how to get data out of it easily with my Linux laptop, then I might be able to use it to compose blog entries. At the very least, I can use it to read ebooks. Oh, and maybe I should grab a CF, reflash the Ipaq with Linux, and put Ruby and Python on the thing... And... >laugh>

(Hey, you know, this would be perfect as a ping-tracker!)

On Technorati: moleskine, pda, ipaq

Random Japanese sentence: その猫は私のそばで寝るのが好きだ。 The cat likes to sleep beside me.
