Lunch with the Dimicco men

authorJake February 7, 2010

After getting the Pre protected with Ghost Armor. I’d add a link, but apparently Poster only lets you add links at the end of the page. Oh well. Heres something underlined. Just finished a hearty lunch at Joe’s American Cafe of french dip sandwich, french onion soup and french fries. Here’s Mike.

Quincy at the Park

authorJake February 6, 2010

Took the little guy to the park today. A bit below freezing. There was a plank out on the slide, so we had to climb from the bottom. At first, it was really slow- a little sticky. Then I threw some powdery snow on it, And WOW! Quincy flew so fast he flipped over and landed face first! Fun while it lasted. Headed back now with Natahn.

Another month, another cross-country trip

authorJake February 5, 2010

This is the 4th straight month (and 2nd straight week) I’m flying out to the east coast. Packed the essentials, as always: carry-on bag (with laptop for in-flight WiFi), camera gear and Sox hat. Kelvin will be pleased to know that I’m bringing the 10-20mm lens. 

Tried to upload an image to accompany this post, but that just led to a total fail. Will have to troubleshoot Poster later.

OK, 3000 miles later. Let’s try again. It was definitely a Sprint data issue, maybe it’s fixed by now. Let’s try that photo.

TOUCH MOUSE

authorKelvin February 4, 2010

Composing this post using Logitech’s Touch Mouse, which turns our iPod Touch into a trackpad/keypad for my Mediacenter PC. I love the trackpad functionality, but I’m dying to reach for my keyboard right now…. Set-up was extremely easy, though, and a lot of nice features are supported (2 finger scrolling, tap-to-drag, tap-to-click).

Another Poster test

authorJake February 3, 2010

OK following Kelvin’s  Lead and taking Poster for a spin, i’ll just post a link to my Flickr photos since I don’t have many pics on the new phone yet. Seems easy enough, and Wysiwyg enough for me. 

Whendle

Today’s webOS app of the day is Whendle, a world clock that offers much more. You click on the city list you generate and are presented with a nice-looking screen that shows the local time and cycles between the current weather, weather forecast, and locally uploaded photos. Not sure where they get the photos, but it’d be cool to see one of your own, serendipitously. Best of all, it’s free!

Sorry for the Interruption

I’m guessing that you guys don’t really want the details, but suffice it to say that my previous assertion that I had migrated everything over was, well, completely wrong.

But now we’re back on the air!

I think I’ve done it much better this time, but at this point, I’m through migrating old stuff. If you find broken links, let me know and I’ll do my best to fix them, but at this point, I’m pretty sure there’s nothing systematically wrong.

This post is also a test to see if images are uploading correctly from MarsEdit, which they are. If you’re on a Mac, you should give it a try if you’re in the market for blog software, and the guy who writes it, Daniel Jalkut, lives just across the river from me (in Somerville) and has a good twitter feed, too.

Also, Kelvin got Poster working from his phone, and it looks like Windows Live Writer is working, too.

And it looks like the mobile version is working fine, and is as big a hit with readers as they previously indicated it would be, so that’s good.

So let’s get posting!

Test Post from Poster

authorKelvin February 1, 2010

Took the plunge to set up Poster for Pre-posting to the Board while Lucas was going to sleep. Seems fairly full-featured… formatting, like bold and italics, seems to be supported, as is image uploading and links. Firing off a quick image post is still easier with Flickr, but blog authoring? Well, this seems like a fine option.

Derrick gets the shot

Derrick gets the shot, originally uploaded by jakerome.

Testing the Flickr blogging template (take 3).

Here’s a capture from the American Museum of Natural History, where Brandon is standing in front of a replica of a Mars rover while Derrick frames the perfect photo.

Test Post from Windows Live Writer

Set up a new account in my PC blog writer, using the following post URL:

http://www.pyslent.com/xmlrpc.php

The only currently available webOS WP blogging tool is called Poster. I’ll give it a try later on (costs $1, but it’ll be worth it if it means that I don’t have to go through Flickr to post remotely :) ).

A search of Precentral for “wordpress” indicates another wordpress client in development, and an entry about WebOS support coming to the mobile version of WordPress in the form of some sort of pluggin. Not sure what that last article refers to, actually.
