Torah Tidbits in the PALM of your hand Technology serving Torah Welcome to the world of Palming to Mordechai W. If you have a Palm™ handheld device and would like to read Torah Tidbits on it, you can download a Palm-version of TT from the Torah Tidbits webpage, www.ou.org/torah/tt. Once the file (.prc or .pdb) is on your computer, you can hotsync it into your Palm. It can then be read with any of the many document readers available. TealDoc is recommended, because the file and its bookmarks are prepared with TealDoc. Rich Reader reads TT Palm version well, too, as does CSpotRun (but without bookmarks). If you need help with the procedures of downloading and/or hotsyncing, contact Phil at the Israel Center (500-3333 ext. 207) or email to tt@ou.org. If you would like to receive the TT-Palm version each week by email, rather than your going through the website, send me an email message and I'll add you to our growing Palm-list. One of these days, B"N, we'll AvantGo TT. Check out www.pilotyid.com and www.penticon.com for Jewish "stuff" for the Palm. Howie Hirsch of Penticon explains how to handle the change to Summertime for the Luach program. Since Israel does not (yet) have a standardized pair of dates for changing the clock, we will have to input the data for the changing of the clock. We will be changing the clock in the wee hours of Friday, April 14th. Tap Cities on the main screen of Luach. For each Israeli city, you have to tap Edit, then set the Start of DST to the 2nd Fri of Apr. When we find out when the clocks are to be changed back, we'll have to input that data as well. This has to be done for each Israeli city. Tap Save after the adjustment is made. Then tap Done to get back to the main screen. Recommendations for AvantGo users. Merriam Webster Word of the Day and Word of the Day - Wordsmith are two interesting channels (sites) that give you an English word each day with its history and usage. Wordsmith's words fit a weekly theme. Both sites throw in a bonus "saying of the day". For example, Wordsmith's X-Bonus today was, "Only put off until tomorrow what you are willing to die having left undone." - Pablo Picasso Click here to download the file
