So that concludes this session of faux-moblogging. Out with the new camera phone photos and in with the new, I say. Hell, I might even have to get a new phone with a better camera if I drop my current one a few more times…

Slogging through my cellphone photos
From September 2003 to May 2006, I ran a moblog as well as a moblog sidebar as a PHP include on this blog. I really liked it and think I was one of the most prolific adopters of moblogging at the time.This golden era ended when the gateway I used to e-mail blog entries from my phone suddenly died. I had put so much work into tweaking the sidebar publishing system and maintaining it over the years that I really couldn’t bear the idea of doing it half-assed with a flickr widget or starting over from scratch again, so I just omitted it from the design completely. Sad.
Anyhow, all of that doesn’t really matter anymore because I’ve ended up in a GSM country where the phones are just beginning to evolve to where Japanese keitais were about eight years ago. E-mail? Internet? PC Modem? These functions are all available for a hefty sum of money, but are really quite pathetic from a Japanese user’s perspective so I don’t even bother. Here, mobiles are for voice com and texting and capturing photos/video for mainly offline use, and that’s it.
So. I’ve downloaded photos from the crappy camera on my crappy phone via USB cable, Bluetooth, IR, and primitive GSM voodoo, and it’s time to get it online in the spirit of my long lost moblog. The next several entries are all from my camera’s phone, and represent the best out of a hundred or so I took last year.

Strange Firefox 3 Error
Version 3.0.3 to be exact.
Error content:
“The page you are trying to view cannot be shown because it uses an invalid or unsupported form of compression.”
Can anybody using Firefox please see if you get the same error (click here) and post results in the comments?
(Please ignore the content on that blog, I’m revamping it for classroom use)
Other browsers seem to be unaffected. Clearing the cache didn’t help. Resetting Prefs didn’t help. Burning joss sticks and mumbling to the Buddha didn’t help.. And I’m not using a proxy. Hmm…

This is very curious: Opening the directory produces the error.

However, specifying the index file does not.

A thread on this error in the Firefox support forum
UPDATE: I just moved over to my laptop; Firefox updated to version 3.0.4 and is having no problems with the link, so… Good. But weird.
End Respite
We’ve been busy.
I am preparing many photos for posting here.
In the meantime, be happy that I’ve found proof of indigenous cowboys in Thailand:
Where is Max?
Coming soon, I promise.
I’m putting together another PC monstrosity. It shall live, and it shall help me gain access to Max’s photo vaults again – soon!
Why Max’s Face Isn’t Here
All of his photos are on the HD of my dead PC. I haven’t finished building its replacement from old parts yet. Please stay tuned.
classic captcha – fukdby
When commenting on a previous entry here, I came upon the most fitting captcha I’ve ever seen:
Upgrade to Movable Type 4.2 complete
Please let me know if anything’s broken.

Epic MT Update FAIL
Of course, as soon as I wrote that last post yesterday, my Internet connection completely crapped out. I’ll get around to the update later today if possible.
