Free Palm games, other freeware at Handycase.com

Juliana of Handycase.com e-mailed me this morning to inform me about the Palm OS freeware on their site. I checked it out and I found interesting — and best of all, free — Palm games and utilities.

Their free games include a series of IPuzzle Basic games, Logic Puzzle, Roman Table, Illusion Cubes, JoQPo, HandMemory, Stonestris and Triball. I downloaded and installed IPuzzle Basic edition 6 and Stonestris. IPuzzle is basically a sliding puzzle where you move squares one at a time to to correctly complete an image. Stonestris, is — of course — a tetris game. Handycase games may not be as crisp as the usual commercial ones, but they are still worth trying.

Other freeware from them include HandTube, a utility for YouTube users; HandClock, an analog clock; Priorities, an app that organizes your priorities; FreeContacts, a contacts and reminder suite; HandDraw, a paint-type app for Palm; TopicList, a to-do-list-type app that organizes information and tasks; and HandWriter, a text editor.

Handycase also offers a diverse line of commercial software for personal, professionals and corporate use.

Members of Mapalad, the Philippine Palm Users Group, will meet on June 14, 3 p.m. at the Power Mac Center at Greenbelt 3, Makati City, an announcement posted on its website said.

Filipino Palm users who want to meet other Palm users may be interested in joining this event. If you’re not yet a member, visit www.mapalad.org and be one of us. :)

Aside from being a great discussion forum for all things Palm-related, Mapalad.org has a classified ads section where you may buy Palm previously owned products and accessories.

WP 2.5.1 media upload problem on Hardy Heron

As I was composing the previous entry, I ran into a problem uploading the accompanying image. While the upload dialog popped up, red x marks were shown instead of file icons. I was able to choose the file, but the upload did not begin. I had to manually do it using FTP.

I thought it was a Java-plugin problem, so I thought I install the necessary plugin first, then would update the post after the problem is resolved. I guess I was wrong in thinking it had something to do with Java, as it appeared to be a Flash-plugin issue, as discussed in this bug report on LaunchPad. As one of the commenters said, this problem “is present on 64-bit hard drive installations,” such as mine.

For now, I could only search for possible solutions, or use FTP for image uploads while waiting for the experts to resolve this issue.
