Because I can#

At least, I assume I can, and if you never see this I guess I can't.. The capability under consideration is 'blog from my phone', and so far it seems easier and more accurate when the bus has stopped.

The phone is. a SE M600, and though it meets my primary criterion in that it can run an ssh client and has a qwerty keyboard, the symbian os is neither the model of efficient design (running on hardware several generations newer than my amiga and still slower than it was) nor of 'open' design (finding out how to get started developing for it is not exactly a batteries-included experience like linux) that its proponents claim it to be.

But on the bright side it's only taken 20 minutes to type the preceding, and I'm sure I could get better with (a) practice, (b) shorter fingernails.
