Real moblogging?

Real moblogging

Quiet afternoon close to central Stockholm. Very warm for this time of the year… as long as the sun is up it still feels like summer. A long walk in the sun is the cure for many ills.


I can email from my phone to Flickr and it automatically ends up here. Is that real moblogging? No. I can’t give you my phone and tell you to moblog something – you’ll never find all the necessary clicks yourself. Until it becomes that easy spontaneity is lost.

And spontaneity is important even for people who work with lots of photos. For instance, Nokia researcher Jan Chipchase does ethnographic work and advocates a mixture of serious preparation and very simple methods. Via Mymarkup.net

Moblogging

Well, it’s not that the dancing bear dances well but that it dances it all.

I don’t think this counts as moblogging, really. Yes, I did use my phone. But with Opera Mobile I just surf to my weblog, log in and write the way I always do.

Opera has been an amazing browser for years. But squinting at a small screen and using T9 to type is not the ultimate mobile writing experience – even though it’s amazing that it can be done.

The best way out of Manila

Friday, October 13th, 2006

For anyone who wants to move a Manila site to Wordpress, MvManila is the easiest way.

I certainly have the technical skills to do all the exporting/importing of messages, pictures, links, shortcuts, categories etc myself. But I didn’t have the time to get it right and I didn’t want to. Instead I paid a reasonable fee to a friendly person who really knows this stuff by heart. Highly recommended!

Not quite moved in yet

Everything from my old site is here now. So I thought I could just sneak back online and start writing later.

But Hal and Garret, friends since EditThisPage back in 1999, found me at once. Thanks, it’s good to be back!

Getting out of Manila

Saturday, October 7th, 2006

I’m finally leaving my old EditThisPage site. Thanks for everything, Userland! Hello WordPress!

My old pages are still around. But I’ll be moving everything here in the next few days. Smiley
