If technology doesn't seem like magic, it's probably obsolete

I'm finding less time to update my blog these days, but my flickr photostream is often updated.

Playing in my house right now...

I am kind of getting bored with blogger.com - there are too many things I can't do with it and things that don't work. Basically, I need more control over the output. The three main things I am missing are:

  • categories: so that I can collect, for example, all mobile things together

  • updateable via my phone: blogging via email just does not work, so I want a lightweight interface that will allow me to blog wherever I am; I use GPRS, so the mail vs (Web) interface question is not relevant. In addition, posting directly will give me confidence that it is done as well as the ability to edit previous posts. Once I link it with the interface for my gallery section, I have a powerful tool, able of almost completely maintaining my site via my phone

  • customisation for different clients: at the moment, the WAP version of martinlittle.com is pretty useless - it does not reflect any of the content of my main site, just a bunch of WAP bookmarks. I've tried a few approaches to handling this, however until the CSS @Media attribute is usable, I'll need to bank on my slightly clunky PHP browser detection script.


On the downside, it does mean that if something doesn't work, I have to fix it, but I think I can handle that.
