Head Coffin

So I’m testing out the new wavelog 2.0 and felt what better test then a couple of uploads. So first we have Jacob sporting a sweet molest-stache: Continue reading

I have been an avid sitter, sleeper, and non mover since my early adult years and as such my butt has always been my powerhouse. But sadly, after only a few weeks of forced activity, my left cheek muscle has strengthened an enormous amount. Although this is normal for someone in my circumstances, it’s depressing that muscles that took years to flab out can suddnely show up again in a matter of weeks. My left cheek has become remarkably toned and flexes now like the flexy backside of a active 18 year old. It looks disturbingly tight and firm and out of place attached next to my right cheek, which has retained its complete lack of muscle mass.

So what kid hasn’t at some time seriously considered the possibility that their parents are actually robots? That their real parents where murdered in their beds and replaced with cheap knockoffs that seem to have everyone fooled but yourself?  That the only way to determine such a fact is to sneak in their room and open up their insides to proove that it’s just wires and gears that make them run. Who hasn’t, as a kid, been terrified of finding thier parents plugged into the walls instead of asleep in thier beds? I know I have. And as a new parent let me say that there is a time or two when I’m worried when Vinny decides to cut me open and view my insides, checking for wires or gears.

It’s weird typing this from a keyboard instead of my phone. I’m so used to trying to find a mobile blogging client that I haven’t used this feature in a very long time.

While trying to fix/improve things I made a couple of changes to the site in hopes of speeding things up. The real test will be when Rachel
views the site and continues to complain about how “slow” it is.

These are not any spiffy improvements mind you so no need to get overly excited about it.

1. Lowered Thumbnail size and quality, dropping them to about 30Kb instead of 60. This still is to high if you ask me and will be messing with this further.
2. Lowered fullsize image size to 640×480 and also dropped the quality a bit, this reduced images from 700kb to about 60-80… That I can live with
3. Fixed the link to the phone blog that had the speed sign limit, was linking to the full sized image just resized, so all of it would have to load, another 800kb just to view, that should be fixed.
4. Spelled Cereal correctly

So the big problem’s been how these mobile clients handle image updates. I haven’t found a good solution and it will probably come down to re-editing posts or saving as drafts to update. Also tweaked around the recent comments style and added a reply/quote functionality to comments.

This is just another mobile blogging tool. One annoying thing is that you cant see the T9 status, nor spell words easily.

However, the native Html support for things like:

• carriage return
• new paragraph
• href link
• image tags
• the more tag
• and open and close tags which is what I used on this list

Make it kind of nice to use. Though the lack of T9 status is really annoying. Plus no support for file uploading/thumbnail creation.
note: just discoverd that he I rotate the screen I can see the T9 status. Doesn’t help that I can no longer use the keyboard though

I do like the ability to edit tags and categories. Much needed. All around it posts text better them wavelog and the lifeblog app

Also it saves the post as a draft, allowing you to edit in the future. You can also edit existing posts as well, using the Html view. With some planning you could link to images, but it would be nice to have them auto thumbnailed, something nobody can offer a good solution for.
