My current weblog.
Tuesday, September 10, 2002Walking the walk...
Bah.. trying to blogwalk. Using my T-Mobile Pocket PC. T-Mobile's proxy server barfed the first time. Better to use Pocket Blog. [Frank McPherson]
I've been trying to hide the fact that I'm a total smart-ass from my weblog readers, but when I read that first sentence my initial thought was "Don't trip." 
I like Frank, my referrer logs show that he is constantly plugging Pocket Blog in PDA discussion groups whenever weblogs are mentioned. Thanks, Frank!
I've decided to give Blogwalking a shot using l.m.orchard's proposal (Zaurus + Movable Type). I have my reservations over using this particular method, but... how can I knock it if I haven't tried it?
Step one: Upgrade my Zaurus SL-5000D to the Crow ROM. The SL-5000D is just like the SL-5500 except that it only has 32MB RAM. The process was easier than I had expected, but I have encountered a problem: my Zaurus crashes whenever I turn it off following a sync.
I'll putz around with that later tonight. I can live without synchronization, Intellisync-SL sucks anyway, but for the purposes of this experiment I would prefer to use a fully functional PDA. Once I get the sync problem fixed, or give up on it, I'll tackle Apache, Perl, and Movable Type. I don't expect any problems as they are all fairly easy to install and configure.
The real challenge is: can the Movable Type templates be sufficiently tweaked to create a reasonable interface for creating entries on a PDA?
Slashdot: 320GB Hard Drives announced. Smells like a 4-platter version of the drives announced last week by Maxtor.
