New in Software Repository

I have added the following Palmos apps to the repository at the top right of the page.

Resco Explorer
This is easily the best for functionality in one package and looks great on the UX-50's HiRes screen. It also allows ftp access to services like StorageMadeEasy.com so that you can upload and download from your cloud drives.

Resco Photo Viewer
With the same look and feel as Resco Explorer, this is a polished piece of software with lots of options.










Network.prc
Sometimes the simplest things are the best. I was fed up with having to keep going into the Prefs app and selecting the network drop-down just to switch off the wireless. This app simply takes you directly to the Network Panel, and if assigned to a hotkey (say Ctrl+1) will take you there in a couple of key clicks. Brilliant!

KeyQuick
I can't pretend to be an expert with this yet, but it allows you to configure your Keyboard to do all sorts of things.

Straight out of the box, it has some pretty neat features enabled though: it makes the Ctrl key "sticky" so instead of holding Ctrl while pressing another button, you can press Ctrl and then the other; and it also makes the up and down keys move between text entry fields, which saves time messing about with the stylus. Genius!

Connecting To The Cloud

Yes, believe it or not, it is possible. You can connect to Google
Drive, Skydrive, Dropbox etc. from the trusty old Jornada HPC.

I looked into this for a long time: trying the webdav plugin for Total
Commander, and playing around with services such as attachments.me
(the latter allows you to send attachments to the cloud as email
attachments), but not to any great success.

Then I stumbled upon storagemadeeasy.com. I was looking for some free
method of accessing my files in the cloud, and have so far not found a
way. This service is quite cheap though, and not only provides a way
to download to and upload from the Handheld PC, but has some nifty
tools for accessing the same on your desktop PC or even from Libre
Office on a portable flash drive.

Once signed up to the free service, which allows you to connect to up
to three of your cloud storage services, you can add FTP access for a
one time fee of around $20 or £12.

Once this is done, you can add the settings to Resco Explorer's FTP
plug-in (see image), and away you go.

I expect this should work in Total Commander too but have not tried
it.

I have also used this to print to an HP wireless printer, but more on
that another time.
