Twit, Plurk through SMS using Ping.fm and YM I love posting short updates on the Web using my Palm Centro. I caught this habit in 2001 when PinoyExchange.com (PEx) introduced its Wireless Journal feature. For only P2.50, I was able to send through...
My Palm Centro Last December, I wanted to buy a Canon or Sony digital camera in Singapore before going back home from a training for my new job. But when I saw an ad for a slightly used, white Palm Centro on eBay, my...
Mapalad.org update Mapalad.org, the official website of the Palm user group in the Philippines, is currently down.
I asked Sharon Agoncillo -- one of Mapalad's leaders -- about it, and I found out that our group has just...
Palm Foleo II coming soon? The World Wide Web does not run out of Palm rumors these days. Soon after posting about the Palm Eos, aka Mini Pre, I stumbled upon a report on the possible revival of the Palm Foleo.
Announced in May...
Makapalm’s mobile version is now powered by Carrington Mobile for WordPress. To add Admob advertisements on its mobile site, I edited three files under the carrington mobile theme folder:
Palm Centro users who want more than the manual that comes with a new phone may be interested in this new book entitled “Now You Know Centro”.
Written by Patrick Ames and published by Peachpit Press, the full-color book which is currently priced at $17.99 (around Php 783) promises tips, tutorials, and techniques not disclosed in the PDF manuals.
“Now You Know Centro is meant to be fast and simple, allowing you to practice on your handheld while you read. You’ll learn about the wireless capabilities, e-mail, media and streaming media, accessories, productivity, and more. In minutes, you can watch your skills improve and use what you learn immediately,” the book’s description says.
It adds that the book “is designed for immediate gratification, not for hour-long reads, the exact way you use your smartphone.”
PalmInfocenter’s article has info on similar books for other Palm devices.
Below are some Ubuntu commands that I need to enter on my terminal to do some tasks. I am posting it here, then I will bookmark this page so I could just come here whenever I need them.
For those who’d like to know more about these commands, I am also linking to the pages where I got them.
To enable Internet sharing from PC to Treo:
sudo /usr/local/bin/palm-ppp
To launch Google Video uploader:
java -jar /opt/GoogleVideoUploader.jarTo convert ogg to avi:
mencoder -idx thefile.ogg -ovc lavc -oac mp3lame -o newfilename.avi
If you’re not on Linux or you can’t do a hotsync with your Linux yet, this post is not useful to you.
pilot-xfer -p usb:/dev/ttyUSB1 -b palm_backup/
I found this command line — that generated a backup of all files on my Treo’s internal memory — at Atul Chitnis’ site while trying to look for a way to sync my AvantGo with J-Pilot. Syncing with J-Pilot used sync my AvantGo, too but it stopped after I upgraded my OS.
Nadiskubre ko kamakailan ang tama at mas mabilis na paghahanap ng contacts sa Treo 650 ko.
Dati, nawiwirduhan ako kapag naghanap ng number ng mga tao sa Contacts application ng Treo. Halimbawa, hahanapin ko ang number ni Diana Zubiri–kunwari, meron ako–o ni Senator Migz Zubiri. Siyempre, ang una kong ita-type ay ang mga letrang Z-U. Inaasahan kong ang lalabas lamang ay mga apelyido at pangalang nagsisimula sa Zu.
Pero nagtataka ako dahil di ganito ang nangyayari. Sa halip, ang unang entry na lumalabas ay Zeng, Umil.
