New Toy

[andrewducker]

I got a Palm Tungsten T2 as one of those "Good lord, you spent how much?" presents. I haven't had a proper PDA before, and it's a very different experience to one of the tiny notebook things you can pick up for £15 (which isn't to say I didn't find one of them very useful when I had one). The best thing about it is that it synchronises with Yahoo.

As part of my "get myself more organised" plan I added the films I'm going to see to it (learning some of the Graffiti language at the same time) and then synchronised it. Lo and behold, my online calendar is now up to date. It's the simple things that keep me happy.

Now to find a way of updating LiveJournal from it...

Yeah, I feel sure that if my writing had had to conform to a standard when I was learning to write, it'd be much tidier.

graffiti = script, not language. right?

The German school system I was in for one year made such a fuss about neat handwriting (it even got a separate grade on the year-end report cards) that it gives me a wicked satisfaction nowadays in having hard-to-decipher handwriting.

although since then, i devised my own minimal-stroke script which i occasionally use when i'm trying to be neat. it's not that different from the palm graffiti.

Yup, it's a script. And it's so far been very good at training me. I can now write while sitting on the bus, provided it doesn't brake too fast.
