blog'n'go

Today's blog entry is an experiment. It is being created entirely on my phone (phone? WTF Rick, how many people have you called?).
There are, immediately, a number of issues - the first is HTML entry is a pain, and bizarrely there is no way in the file manager to create a directory! I found an empty one auto generated by the music player for album art and renamed it.

That said, the fact that I can do this, that I can create a little blog entry anywhere - you gotta respect that!

It could be possible to help myself with some scripting assistance, perhaps I can write the entry in my email client and have a script pull it apart and generate the files? All ideas to ponder...

 

Speaking of pondering, there is still time to perform a spot of hanami, the contemplation of the cherry blossom.

Sakura, cherry blossom.

It is quite nice this time of year. I'm sitting outside in a partly shady place to write this, and just behind me the apples are also in flower. Do people celebrate the apple blossom? Perhaps, in cider areas (Normandie?), though I think the cherry blossom is a bigger and more well-known event.

Apple blossom.

Well, that's all for now. Let's get this uploaded!

Software:
Word processor - Text Edit, Paul Mach (using built-in Swype keyboard)
Camera and photo editing - built-in (Motorola Motoblur)
File system fiddling - Quickoffice Lite (built in)
Server upload - AndFTP, Lysesoft.
Comms - mobile network, not WiFi ;-)

As of February 2025, commenting is no longer available to UK residents, following the implementation of the vague and overly broad Online Safety Act. You must tick the box below to verify that you are not a UK resident, and you expressly agree if you are in fact a UK resident that you will indemnify me (Richard Murray), as well as the person maintaining my site (Rob O'Donnell), the hosting providers, and so on. It's a shitty law, complain to your MP.
It's not that I don't want to hear from my British friends, it's because your country makes stupid laws.

Upload via EDGE. Not terribly quick, but hey, you're reading this! ☺

I was thinking of advising you to buy HTC windows phone and was trying to access your web page on my phone, which is Touch Diamond 2, WM 6.5 but unfortunately, I couldn't access the page "heyrick.co.uk", was redirected to Apache 2 test page. The Binary.LOGfile page and ARM assembler pages are forbidden, very strange. 
Where did this cherry blossom photo comes from?

The last sentence should reed: 
Where did this cherry blossom photo come from?

Forbidden? How bizarre! Did it give any message or reason? 
Perhaps this is why you should get an Android phone? ;-) 
 
Usually, unless it says otherwise, the photos are mine. The entirety of Saturday's entry was created on my phone - including the photos. We have several cherry trees, that pictured was the nicest looking.

Nice to see that you are still around. I like the captcha system. It suggests some interesting variants that would filter out not just robots but all the canaille who do not share a particular interest. So, for example, if you want ARM enthusiasts you might have "please enter in hex digits the value of rsbne r0,lr,pc". Endless possibilities :).

Hey Gavin! 
I like that captcha idea, though we'd need to decide if it would be RISC OS byte order, or Linux byte order. ;-) 
To pass go, please enter the hex code for EORNES R5, R4, #&07800000 ☺

Although, I preferred "CDPLE CP14, 10, C11, C13, C15, 7", but that looks a little scary, no?

For mathematicians "enter in ascending order the orders of the elements of the smallest nonabelian simple group" (1,2,3,5). Mind you, a bit of googling will soon give you the answer, but could a bot do it? "Who first wore pink silk tights in Scotland?" (George III). The whole thing could be an online MasterMind.
