Side Quest 3: 20 tips for recelling battery packs

Some tips for recelling battery packs extracted from my posts in various places.

Side Quest 2: The Battle of VM

Background

In the beginning of the HPC era, there was HPC Explorer for WinCE 1 & 2. Then Microsoft's ActiveSync became the dominant synchronization method since WinCE 3. Then after the official end of development of the Handheld PCs, Microsoft pulled out Windows Mobile Device Center (WMDC) for its Pocket PCs and the later Windows Mobile products.

When I started using the Handheld PCs a month ago, I researched the way to have my handhelds communicate with the PC. It turned out that Windows 10 has already dropped its support for its own mobile devices for good. Not even WMDC is working without certain tweaking.

Interlude

Just wanna touch base with my blog here. It's not very easy to persist in blogging every single day. Not because of losing momentum, but simply due to real life matters: family, work, etc. just like what every typical mortal is living through. Although it was not really part of my intention, writing blogs here has become a special treat for myself. Despite quite a few draft blog posts are already sitting in the pipeline, a solid block of quiet moment and peace of mind is still much needed to complete them.

Similar to scripting the adventures of different HPC heroes in individual "Books", I am thinking of starting a Side Quest series to talk about different cool programs and experiences when using my adorable small old devices.

Side Quest One: PocketSlay

I assume many oldtime gamers have already known this title so well. Truly, the almost 30 years old Slay is a stroke of genius. The fun and challenges it provides are astronomically greater than its tiny footprint. This is the only game I play to death on PCs, Android, and finally the HPCs.

Besides Slay, the author's other titles are still prevailing! http://www.windowsgames.co.uk/index.html

The best part is Slay for HPC has become Exemptionware (i.e. GRATIS!): https://www.hpcfactor.com/scl/218/Sean_OConnor/HPCSlay/version_2.0

I see, I come, I Slay!
