Posts via Phone or PowerBook
Now this is pretty cool: I can take pictures with my phone and email them to my blog. Of course I hate writing on the phone, it’s slow and cumbersome - but it’s still fun, knowing that I can be at some event and just send pictures to this journal. Probably I’ll need to do some manual cleanup, once I get back to the computer (to align it visually with the rest of the site), but this shouldn’t be too bad. Here a pictures (as a test of this new found ability) from the Wall Street Journal Prime Rate over the past 5 years. I do hope, this curve will not go as high as the last peak, and if so, then at least not higher.

It has also some not so friendly corners to it: It does not like PNG format nor Apple Double encoding (has to be base64 or unicode) - images easily are too big and the text will not write flowing around the image, I would need to adjust some code in wp-mail.php to adjust for that. Furthermore I can not write out of PowrMail (plain text email application, no HTML) - even if i write the correct HTML tags, it will get decoded and then re-encoded and will present itself in the posting as the original HTML tags (ugh). But aside from this, I still think this to be cool - oh, and I hate that only the admin can write to the blog.

Wow, that s@#$ - I can’t even edit my own comment, even if I login, it has to be the admin again. This is new. I might have botched down a comment.php file during installation of some add-on hack, but I am not aware that I touched anything the like. Oh, and as I am already ranting: why does the cursor always jump to the beginning and before a newly added tag, requirering manual adjustment before being able to continue writing?

Note: of course I am watching the WSJ Prime Rate like a hawk right now - we do have a good bunch of money tied to it with variable interest rate…
