Ich hatte letzte Woche das Glück, noch einen #Palm #Treo 650, zwar mit defektem #Motherboard, aber einem nahezu neuwertigen Gehäuse und einem noch sehr gut erhaltenen #Akku bei den Kleinanzeigen kaufen zu können.

Er ist zwar etwas neuer, immerhin kommt er schon aus dem Jahr 2006, aber so konnte ich meinen Palm wieder ein wenig upgraden.

Jetzt sieht er aus wie neu und hält wieder fast zwei Wochen durch 😀

Throwback Dec 16, 2010. Initially posted to Facebook, just the late months before this channel lost most of what once made it inspiring and creative. Originally a series labeled "Grenzland", spanning some more shots, taken with the utterly crappy Palm Pre camera, all of them containing the text "/b/orders" for reasons not subject to explanation anymore. Maybe a good memory while into finally getting rid of Facebook altogether. Borders aren't where one ends, borders might also be where there's room for growth.

A wire fence, snow and dried plants.

Deep snow, a wire fence and an abandoned gate right through.

Window of a workshop, brightly lit. Icicles growing down.

Mein neues Handy ist da 📱

Nun gut, neu ist vielleicht ein klein wenig übertrieben, ist das #Blackberry doch schon sechs Jahre alt. Es ist aber definitiv jünger, als mein #Palm #Treo 650, dessen #Akku⁣s 🪫 so langsam anfangen zu schwächeln.
Leider gibt es dafür keinen Ersatz mehr. Deshalb auch der Wechsel.

Ich bleibe allerdings bei den physischen Tasten und der Möglichkeit es selber zu reparieren. Gibt es doch ausreichen #Ersatzteile auf dem Markt, die unschwer selber zu montieren sind 😀

Der Wechsel hat aber auch seine positiven Seiten:

So kann ich mit dem #KeyOne trotz der Abschaltung des #3G-Netz⁣es auch unterwegs wieder in das #Internet. #Fotos, die ich mit dem #Blackberry mache, haben eine etwas höhere Auflösung als 640x480 Pixel, und die Aktualisierungen der #CalDAV- und #CardDav - Daten funktionieren jetzt auch über das #WLAN oder das #Mobilnetz mit #LTE.

An eine Akku-Laufzeit von zwei Wochen komme ich damit aber, selbst mit einem neuen Akku, nicht mehr heran ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Jetzt bin ich aber erst einmal am Einrichten 😉

#Vedic #Astrology assigns deities to #planets, and according to the #ancient #palm #leaf called Vasistha Nadi, the names of the grahas or planets (yet to be discovered) would be #Prajapati ( #Uranus), #Varuna ( #Neptune), and #Yama ( #Pluto). As Neptune is moving from #Aquarius to Pisces, we focus on the effects of Neptune, with Varuna as Presiding Deity.

Varuna Peyarchi: Neptune to Pisces
On 18-19 February 2023, Neptune transited from Aquarius to Pisces and is currently sandhi 0.00° Pisces (deprived of energy) where it will remain for a little more than three weeks. Sandi means “deprived of energy” so the effect of Neptune moving to Pisces will not be pronounced for some time.

As referenced earlier, we look to outer planets when they change signs. Neptune has capacity for non-attachment, infinite love and beauty, charity, altruism, bliss and rapture, and awareness of divinity, transcendence of duality.

Neptune likes to transcend, to merge, to flow, to melt, to yield. Neptune can accept changes, allow a changing environment, and can love selflessly and impersonally. This is an important capacity of Neptune, for most young people and youth take love as a matter of possession and territory – possession of someone’s mind, and territory of their body. Nothing could be further from love. Dreams of love and idealism, infatuation and attachment all have to have both feet on the ground and squarely detached with your own boundaries intact around YOU.

Neptune is traditionally seen as the planet that imagines, envisions, dreams and inspires. While Neptune offers all that, and more: to fantasize, to heighten, one has to keep their feet on the ground or end up helpless, spaced out, dissolving into chaos, and prey to drugs and the unconscious mind. One can self-destruct, abdicate all responsibility and end up sabotaging themselves. While Neptune – always near the Collective Unconscious – offers access to the psychic realms, and psi experiences – these can all be achieved with self discipline, self-control and self-respect. Psychedelic drugs and the like are not necessary to achieve this. You can reach the same high meditating as those people who tell they get a high using bongs.

What will Neptune’s transit in Pisces bring? One would hope for a gentler, kinder, more spiritually inspired world. However, this is not historically what we have seen before. Neptune represents secret plots, rebellions, and sedition, and Neptune in Pisces will be a time of tremendous idealism associated with an urge to dissolve tired old paradigms and world views in favour of a more charitable universal vision. We live in an era where significant changes have taken place (our great-grandparents would not recognise our modern, electronic world – except, perhaps, for the radio and print news. So much has changed with living, co-habitation, housing, working, travel, child-care centres and the gig economy.

Pisces is a water sign, a moksha sign, and harbours great spiritual awareness, creative achievement, and compassionate action. But when disconnected from the All, from peers, society and culture, in its lower expression, Pisces has a tendency for escapism, deception, and delusion. This is the signification of the fish going in two directions, we can pull towards separation and duality, we can pull towards the experience of everything is Atma, and the lifting of the veil of illusion.

#Neptune in #Pisces provides the impetus towards transcendence of duality, unity consciousness, surrender and non-attachment. So Neptune in Pisces seeks to transcend, to merge, to surrender, to sacrifice, to let go and let God. On the other hand, Neptune seeks to dream, to inspire, to glamorise, to idealise, to imagine, to envision, to fantasise, to intuit, to enchant, to beguile. In summary, the positive benefits of Neptune are accessed when we are grounded and following dharma.
About #Lord #Varuna
Lord Varuna
Lord Varuna is revered in Hinduism as the God of water and his sway extends to the underwater world. The Hindu Goddess Varuni is his consort and a Makara serves as his mount. According to the Puranas, he is the son of sage Kashyapa and one of the twelve Gods considered as Adityas, owing to their origin from the Mother of Gods, Aditi. Varuna possesses the lordship of the waters and was entrusted with the task of overseeing the clouds and rains. He is thus known as the king of waters and controls the Oceans, Seas, Rivers, and all other water bodies. During the Mahabharata period, the great Pandava, Arjuna was hailed as the son of Lord Varuna. It is also widely believed that praying to him protects us from thunder and lighting.

Om, Let us meditate on the reflection of water
O person of ocean blue, give me higher intellect
And let the God of water illuminate my mind

For me, the second half of the 80's was about playing games with my neighbor on his Atari 130XE and learning BASIC on a PMD 85 after school. Little I knew about sir Clive's Z88 which amaze me today. Playing games, writing documents, programming, calculating. Everything is possible. And hey, there is also a serial port and a terminal software, that mean no excuses to stay offline!

Fast forward from 1987 to 1999 when Palm has released it's Palm IIIx PDA. Small, with a touch screen. Using graffity, it is possible to write the same way as into a small paper notebook. Much more powerful hardware then the Z88, but also a bit similar device - no multitasking, but programs sleep in the background. No distraction, just pick it up, do the thing and turn it off again. Fast system responses make both devices a pleasure to use (especially today).

The technology of today is incredible compared to just a few years ago and I am happy for that. But I am also happy I can still appreciate how sophisticated some of the old tech stuff really is because it is still fun to use some of the old hardware. Not really for a daily tasks, but with built-in serial ports it is still a safe place for any kind of data as back-ups are so easy to do.
