*sigh*

Okay, that's it.
I give up.
On my old Palm Vx, that is.
Yeah, I got it from yamasagi, it's been his for many years, that alone would merit
But!
What does it do when I install a bad application?
It crashes.
Right. Well, that's what most computers do.

But for some reason, each time the Palm Vx does one of those "soft resets", the digitizer (thing that knows where on the screen you tap your pen) snaps horribly out of place.
It gets so bad that the thing thinks that the buttons you need to re-configure the digitizer settings are somewhere outside the machine. And the only way to get that repaired is a hard reset, erasing everything on the Palm except the OS and the basic applications (calendar and such).
Clearing all newly installed data on a PDA isn't as bad as it may sound since I usually have the thing synchronzied with my "real" computer and can easily put all the stuff back on the pushing of a button.
Yeah, great.
The thing is that once I do a HotSynch with Max, the Palm gets the bad program back, plus - and here's the real catch - the garbled digitizer setting.
First time that happened, I was like "Hang on. Now you're really kidding me, right?". Well, he was being dead serious. The memory alone almost hurts physically *cringes*
In short, I'd need to kill my Palm Desktop settings along with the Palm's each time, including re-installing all the programs I had added to the Palm. Just to test a new application.
Which is... a bit much to ask for, even from me.

I'm sorry, Iso-chan ni. I really, really am ;_;

That means I'm literally PDA-less now. On the same day that Yama got an almost brand-new Asus MyPal 730w from eBay. Can you say No. Fair?

Getting Iso-chan ichi (the m100 I got on eBay and who does NOT have that digitizer illness) back from bro is not an option either because I gave it to him. On the other hand, I'm quite certain he put it away and never uses it... eek. Was that a mistake? But you can't simply snatch back a present, now can you?

That being said... anyone have a spare Zire/Z22? :D

ETA: Okay, I did the walk of shame and got Iso-chan ichi back... he's noticeably slower but his voice (beeps) are prettier. m100 love <3

From a recent TDS/TCR fic

Stephen barely heard the question. "Yes! Two NC-17s!"
"You're...cheering for porn," Jon observed with a healthy amount of concern.

Hell... that sounds so much like me, it's not even funny O_O;;;

(BTW, said fic is here)

... if only I were be able to write such stuff... mentally, I mean... it's not like there's a lack of bunn... Argh, dammit >:O

Something funny for my fellow geeks out there

:D
