For this lazy Sunday, here's something you can do if you have an old Palm PDA lying around. palmorb is another product of Open-Source, and it allows you to convert any Palm OS 2.0 or higher device into an external LCD display. The software's website shows an example, displaying free memory (pictured) or net traffic, but I'm sure you can come up with cooler uses.

Unfortunately, as of February 2005, the project is no longer maintained, meaning you can expect no more improvements. The software is designed for Windows or Linux use; maybe Creative Weblogging's new Linux blogger can help you out.

Maxing-Out the Oldies: This reminds of how newton users tried to stave off their device's age through various hardware and software hacks.

Thanks to Hack a Day for the heads-up.
