So I've been testing blog clients for my Palm 700p cell phone (updated)
So if you've seen any short test posts lately it's 'cause I'm testing blogging clients for my new Treo 700p handheld. Some old some new, some worked some didn't, some the new versions didn't. I just updated this post since I got slightly confused between a few of the clients when writing this up. The winners IMHO are:
I'm always surprised at how hard it is in some software to find out the web site of the company that makes/made it. It's not in the about, or in the manual. I'm especially surprised in the ones that want you to register, it might have been on the page where you got it, but it's gone (or you forgot where you got it).
For new users to mobile blogging Mo:Blog is probably better, the Java VM stuff is a little tricky (unless you've used it before).
For those interested:
The thing is I can do most of this with the MT quickpost option and it lets me use the extended entry (I compose in memopad first). Several programs seem like they'll work directly with the photos on the palm (and the camera) but no luck with any for me. But I can use the Flickr e-mail option to post photos and text to the blog for that (which works great).
Decision, decisions...
FYI - To install Azure: First download the IBM Java WebSphere Everyplace Micro Environment (CLDC 1.1 /MIDP 2.0) on your computer and install J9JavaVMMidp20.prc and JavaVMCheck_enUS.prc (in the JVM/ARM4T directory) on your treo. Then once that's installed, launch it, say install and type http://web.vee.net/projects/azure/azure_0-5.jad and it will download it from the net and install it. Keep in mind when running Azure it's got all the options in the menus (title, body, excerpt, extended, bold, paragraph) and you have to go “Back” for some menus. It takes a minute to figure it out, but it works. When it asks for your blog address, what it really want is the long xmlrpc address for your site.

Time Travel is like Paris...
I really like the 2005 Dr. Who, he's the only Dr. Who that's intrigued me to watch the series and now it's a new guy...
It's partly his attitude as Adam asks him how to use the money of the era (of this weeks era)
He says all this while beautiful Rose (sigh) is giggling in the background. They keep Rose (sigh) but not the Doctor, that's kind of odd.Time Travel is like visiting Paris.
You've can't just read the guidebook.
You've got to throw yourself in.
Eat the food.
Use the wrong verbs.
Get charged double.
End up kissing complete strangers.
Stop asking questions just go and do it!
On a side note: My TV crush on Rose makes no sense to me. She's not my type. She's got the accent though, how can you not like that?!? But sometimes (just sometimes)she's got the Pez Head smile which always makes me nervous. It that big smile that makes me think their whole head is gong to flip back and open up like a Pez dispenser does. There's nothing wrong with her, she's very cute and has a great attitude on the show, it's just that she's not my usual “sigh” type.
