Into the weekend

Class last night was a little awkward, but the instructor accepted my apology for last summer's screwup and I think things will be okay...in spite of the fact that I'm going to miss both sessions of class next week on account of Convergence. I'd take the session before Anime Iowa off as well, but since that's the last session, skipping it would be a Bad Idea. There's only six of us in the section, the group work will go very quickly and we should wrap up every night by 8. Getting in there by 5 is going to be problematic, but I think I can make it work by taking a short lunch on Thursdays. We'll see how that works out.

Back to the 20th century

Well, that didn't last long. The Palm is back to not working again today - which is to say the screen doesn't respond to tapping or stroking, so it's pretty much useless. As with the Deskpro, there's really nothing I can do about it until September or maybe October when the next semester starts and my student loans pay out again. At that point, O loyal readers, what should I do? Turn my back on all this newfangled PDA technology completely? Buy another cheapass Zire? Pick up a refurbed Tungsten E or E2 from the Palm outlet store? Or wait for next year when my Cingular contract is up so I can bundle phone and PDA together in a Treo? Vote and discuss among yourselves in the comments - I know several of you still use DayTimers or similar daily planner systems while others of you are right on the bleeding edge, so it ought to be interesting to see what everyone has to say.
