Windows Mobile/PocketPC

Dec 11, 2006 18:50

I'm going to go and pick-up (or at least order) a Windows Mobile phone this week. I've not used Windows Mobile/PocketPC before, so I've been searching around for what software's available and suchlike. I've been using a Sony-Ericsson P910i until now, and I've previously used PalmOS PDAs years ago - oh, and my day job is tech support for a major ( Read more... )

that reminds me of a great technopagan icebreaker/pickup line: "so what software do you run on your PDA Talisman?" it's cool that we can finally fit the magic book into the magick wand.

i'd be interested to see somebody write text adventures (and other genres of magical text) while using one of those things in a ritual context, dedicating it to the purpose of carrying on the specific artistic/ritual work. the big question as ever is whether to keep it separate from the gadget/toy realm.

I don't see any need to keep it separate - it's a device that I'll be using all day, every day. That gives it a powerful connection (and I don't just mean the cellular radio).

word... the whole "esoteric" distinction causes problems when the sacred gets labeled profane. i'm all about mixing gadgets and talismans, me.

Been there, done that. A couple of years ago I built a LambdaMOO as a ritual implement. My group and I got quite a few years of interesting results using it, mostly self-transformative workings and not a few servitors, but when they blow up, boy do they blow up.

I recommend the plain-jane LambdaCore over JHcore because it's better documented.
