29/01/2008	Contact me...	Despite rumours to the contrary, "I are not ded"! I do however feel dreadfully guilty for not having updated the site in the past year. There are various reasons for my being so incommunicado but not least amongst these is the deluge of spam over the past months to my pscience5 email address. I've spent more than three weeks wading through in excess of 15,000 emails to try and remove the odd genuine email from the dross. This has now been done and I've closed down my old email address - please see my contact page for details of how to contact me until I get a chance to update my email gif. More in a few days. I've got quite a number of things that I need to update on the site but I'll try and get a few behind-the-scenes things done first. Thanks for hanging in there! Martin

30/11/2006	Lost & Found	I'll be adding a new page to the ‘Lost & Found’ collections soon - expect to see a PocketIQ page appear in the next few days. Like Neuon, i27, Xtep, etc. pages, it will be a collection of all the programs formerly available on the PocketIQ website which alas is no more. Again like these other pages, I'll build it up bit by bit, one program at a time as my own free time allows. So enough to keep me busy for many weeks basically!
27/11/2006	Lost & Found - Games...	Psion Games - a website long since gone - offered a couple of games for purchase - PGBalls and PGLines. I've uploaded the demo version of both of these to the ‘Lost & Found - Games’ page together with instructions added to their zip files. My thanks to Alex218 for suggestion these programs.
24/11/2006	Lost & Found - Neuon stuff...	Added SoundOff to the ‘Lost & Found - Neuon’ page. SoundOff is a simple utility that toggles the sound on and off via the extras bar. Sound state can also be determined by the icon on the extras bar, very useful when you need to know when the sound is off.

Castle III is the third in the Castle series of role playing games, and the first to run on versions 1-5 of Symbian OS.

It's an advanced programmer hex editor application and features such functions as real time decimal/binary information, a hexadecimal calculator and file search and replace. Also added a HexEditor 'Decompiler' plugin module with it.
20/11/2006	Lost & Found - Games...	With thanks again to Alex218 for suggesting it, I've also uploaded RockFall to the ‘Lost & Found - Games’ page. Rockfall is a one player game based on the age old game Boulder Dash. However, in this version you have to guide your trusty remote controlled robotic miner around the perilous mine avoiding falling rocks and solving puzzles. Originally shareware by Julian Samphire and also published in 1998 on the PlanetEPOC website, I think this can safely be called 'Abandonware' now and so I've supplied it with a generic registration code. (Don't forget to download the colour icon and patch from the Colour Icons page if you're using it on a colour machine)
17/11/2006	Lost & Found - Games...	Added Psimple Psimon to the ‘Lost & Found - Games’. Psimple Psimon - Freeware by Julian Samphire - was originally published in 1998 on the long since defunct PlanetEPOC website. It's a simple memory game based on the electronic version of Simple Simon. My thanks to Alex218 for suggestion this program. My apologies to anyone who's awaiting an email reply from me to anything. I am trying to catch up with all my emails and should be back on top of things in the next few days.
14/11/2006	Xtra Software...	After another long break, I'm back. Hopefully with slightly more regular updates than there's been in recent months. For reasons that I won't go into here, life has become a lot more busier and interesting in recent months so please bear with me. First update is that Alexey Semenov got in touch to say that his SDict and SView programs have been updated to v1.7.9 and v1.5.3 respectively. He's also released a new program called Sdjvu for viewing DjVu format files and so this has been added to the Xtra Software page too - thanks Alexey!

In the interests of keeping the Pscience5 home page to a manageable size (and of keeping loading times down) I've moved some of the previous Pscience5 index-page entries to their own page.

What is Pscience5?:
(Back to top)

One other thing to mention is that the Pscience5.net site is totally generated, maintained, and uploaded from a Psion. Usually this is from my 64Mb netBook over my WiFi broadband connection at home (or of course any other link available if I'm travelling on business) and it's done using the quite superb (and free) database program from Kevin Millican; PsiDat. See my article on doing this here. There's something extremely satisfying and very apt / apposite in being able to do all of this without having to make any use of or pass through a PC. It is this independance, after all, that made and continues to make Psions different from other PDAs on the marketplace.
