@matigo Oh god. That's like the Access "application" that was in use here for the shipping department. When they finally twisted my arm to work here full time, I took one look at that thing and said, "It goes. Now."

@matigo What sucks is the Palm developer community, even at the corporate level, was a devoted and involved bunch of folks. Best community I ever worked with.

@phoneboy Once they come out with one that will do 300 miles at highway speed before charging is needed, I'll grab one. Not for environmental reasons. I like virtually flat torque curves and enjoy quiet. :)

@matigo Yep. It's the crazed eyes. Great album though. Was crushed when their original singer left to pursue her opera career.
@matigo What's even more fun is being awake for three days straight, remembering, "Hey, I have some Palm code that did just this thing.It compiles! I can go home! I'll pick this up tommorrow" and come back in to find catastrophe because, "It's big endian, you idiot! Stop working for three day straight!"

@matigo It's fun coming across 80s C code with bitfields in structs. To port it, without scrapping and rewriting, you have to do the "Is this 32 bit or 64 bit I'm running on" and bit shifting/AND-masking game.

@matigo It's incredible how the consequences of decisions made in the 80s and 90s can hamstring a company in the present day. This company's motto should be, "It made sense back then. Sorry."

@phoneboy My mind always goes to those batteries. It's like we're only trading polluting the air with polluting the ground because you know tons of them are going to be tossed in landfills instead of being properly recycled.
// @japchap @hybotics
@matigo That works. This one comes to mind too. Great album but the cover I find disturbing for some reason.
