So I finally joined the 21st century and purchased a smartphone. Of course, it’s a Palm Pixi, and the first thing I did was turn off data transmission, but it’s a start, right?

One selling point for the phone (aside from the low, low price tag) was that I could write apps using plain old JavaScript and HTML, via the WebOS Mojo/Enyo framework. Whilst in Florida (photos are coming soon, really), I scratched an itch and build a round timer application for working out on the hangboard. Since I was already jumping on the smartphone bandwagon, I thought I’d also jump on the GitHub bandwagon, too, so you can view the source here. If you happen to own a Palm WebOS phone, you actually find the packaged app there, too. The UI needs a bit of polish, and it’s probably riddled with bugs, but It Works For Me(tm).
