Posting wirelessly with Pocket SharpMT

Filed under: — midtoad @ 11:57:20 MST

With the acquisition of a Toshiba e830 sporting both WiFi and Bluetooth transceivers, I can post to my blog anywhere there’s internet coverage or GPRS cell service. But that requires the use of a browser, often not designed for inputting text on a small screen. Now I’ve found an alternative.

Pocket SharpMT, which I found on pocketpcfreewares.com, is a tool for posting to blogs, and in particular those powered by mt. Use with my blog, powered by wordpress, required only one change: the page to look for is xmlrpc.php.

Naturally, this post was made with Pocket Sharp MT.

Code on the road

Filed under: — midtoad @ 18:08:23 MST

Feeling the urge to be able to write or review Python code while out of the office, I’ve picked up a Toshiba e830 PocketPC, running Windows Mobile 2003 SE. I installed Python 2.3 on the unit, and am now able to code anywhere. Added bonus, there is Tkinter and wxPython also available for this platform.
