Testing how easy it is to use the site with a mobile phone. Not too impressed so far, but better than I’d expected.
Nice to see that IrishBlogs.ie have followed my lead with a ping form in addition to the XML-RPC interface. Of course, their extra feature following my wee hack could be coincidental... ![[smile]](/images/smilies/smile.gif){kind=small}
It’s good to see that PotB has fixed the problems it was having with its ping interface.
Was out cold yesterday. Tried staying up, but started getting those chest pains I get when I’ve been up over 36 hours and drank too much caffeine. I still feel like crap. Whether this is just exhaustion or the tail end of whatever I picked up in Boston, I don’t know.
And as if the snow while I was in Boston wasn’t enough, it’s followed me back to Sligo, and laid a thick blanket of the white stuff outside. Aarrgh! Enough!
Update: Ok, never trying that again. It cost me EUR 10 for 20 minutes. That’s ridiculous!

When I check your linklog, it’s too big to load. And your weblog isn’t lookin’ good at all. Almost inscrutable, save for the navigation. I’m on Nokia ... I’ve forgotten the number, but one of these recent things. And blasts, but it costs me too much! Put a mobile version, with little markup (most of it is useless, anyway, on a phone), so that we aren’t charged too much. It’s really easy.
Should I wait for http://mobile.talideon.com ? Or a WAP something?

It’s not as if the mobile version is exactly a high priority for me. The problem is that I’ve never written up a stylesheet especially for small devices. I won’t be doing a WAP version any time soon though, though I intend on seeing if I can make my feeds an alternate representation of the weblog frontpage. That would actually be a good testbed for seeing if a WAP version of (some of) the site would be practical.
