Ziggy's Palm Page

Hi, I have always been interested in programming. When I got my Palm M515 - I was curious to see if I could develop some apps for it. I acquired a copy of PDA Toolbox which virtually eliminates any programming - basically just design the program in its interface and it does the rest!

I have tested these programs on the Palm OS Emulator which goes up to Palm OS 4, and have ran it on Palm OS 5.2 on a Zire 21. Please note - Some bugs were reported by Andre and Charles and I am glad to say that I have ironed these out (updated apps posted on site 30-08-2004).

Some of these programs which set reminders in the date book probably will not work on the T5 or the Treo 650 - I have stated this in the description for each app where necessary.

If you like these programs - most are free! please send me a postcard (or send me a £5.00 if you like the program and use it a lot) addressed to -

James Davidson, 4 Galliagh Park, Enniskillen, Co Fermanagh, N Ireland, BT74 7GP.

If you have any comments, suggestions or ideas for a program you would like me to develop - pop them on the postcard.

Body Mass index       A tutorial for PDA Toolbox showed how to develop an App for calculating your Body Mass Index (BMI). It took your height in inches and your weight is pounds and used these to calculate the BMI. I find changing my height to inches and my weight to pounds quite a difficult mental calculation so I amended the tutorial's program to take input in Feet and Inches and Stones and Pounds or in Km and Cm. So my first app was completed!

VAT      My hardest problem in creating my next app was in picking something that hadn't been done before (or which I hadn't seen before). So after much head-scratching I came up with an App to calculate the UK VAT on an item and also show the price plus VAT. It also gives you the option of seeing how much VAT is charged on an item. For people who have to calculate VAT a lot it saves them banging away on a calculator.

Cook's Helper       is a colour Palm application which give conversion tables used in cooking - e.g. Metric to Imperial, Imperial to Metric, Oven Temperatures and Cups to Volume. It also has a section which gives explanations of commonly used cooking terms, a list of UK/USA translations e.g aubergine = eggplant, and a list of the various types of rice and what they are best used for.

Smoking       is a simple program which lets you count how many cigarettes you smoke each day. I am trying to quit by reducing my intake and wanted to know how many I smoked - so I came up with this. Hopefully it will help you focus more on how many you smoke each day and help you in your attempts to quit!

revised on 23-09-2004 - few minor adjustments made - see help file in app.

Cindy's Cravings Counter       will help you monitor and record your cravings. You can then use this information in a positive way - to avoid situations which have shown to produce cravings, alter your habits to avoid cravings, etc. This program was suggested to me by Cindy Loving who wanted it to work alongside the smoking program I created.

Updated on 13-10-2004 added facility to change colour theme of App.

Health       is an essential app for keeping in touch with your whole family's medical needs. Every missed an appointment - or forgotten to re-order your tablets? I wrote this for my partner who as well as having epilepsy has quite a few other medical conditions and takes a lot of medications and she says she doesn't know how she managed without it!

Easy to set up - just enter your family members; your doctors, dentists etc; and record what medications you use and what medical conditions you use them for.

Set reminders for appointments with doctors, dentists, hospitals for each family member. Set alarms to remind you to take you tablets. Set reminders to re-order medications.

For women - record details and dates of your menstrual cycle.

For people suffering from epilepsy - keep track of seizures.

Full html help file included.

May not work with the newer palms e.g. T5 or Treo 650.
