I've been meaning to install and tame [[http://www.mozilla.org/projects/minimo/][Minimo]]
on my PDA for some time. Finally, I can tap my way through my first blog posting from this cute little browser. I had to switch off the SSR (Small Screen Rendering) feature, but now, at last, my <nop>PocketPC displays web pages in a manner that is suitable for human consumption. I never understood why IE, after quite a number of releases of the Windows Mobile/CE platform, still sucks _that_ badly as a browser.

Typing with the stylus is a pain in the youknowwhere, so I probably won't be blogging
from my PDA that often :D But still, I love the Minimo browser, even though it is in its
early infancy. It seems to do a _much_ better job at displaying most web sites than IE;
it groks the CSS-based layout of my own web site; it makes use of the VGA screen on 
my PDA; and I can now even use TWiki's direct editing facilities from my organizer. 
This project really makes me wonder what it would take to start developing for the <nop>PocketPC platform...

And then there is Rory Blyth's 
[[http://neopoleon.com/tinythings/default.aspx][Tiny Things]] podcast which is also
wetting my appetite for those little gadgets. But even if you couldn't care less
about mobile platforms, I hereby guarantee that listening to the intro section
of each of the episodes will give you a good chuckle. Well, let's say that I'll guarantee 
a chuckle only if you promise that you won't sue me for making such potentially
groundless claims. You'll know what I mean once you've listened in to Rory's show.

Man, I long for a real keyboard now.
