Of course punctuation and symbols are really difficult to use but the overall typing isn’t bad, so why would I be doing this? Because I am 6’4″ tall and on an air plane in economy class with a mac book pro 15″ there is not quite enough room to type two handed. Using the ipod touch as a keyboard is less annoying than the funky position required to do otherwise. i wish i had bought a twiddler2 while they were available.

Ok I just used the spell checker to fix a few stupid mistakes that I made thinks to the ipod keyboard and the size of my fingers but all in all it worked well.

I have been playing with new android G1 the last day or two… Best app for me so far – ConnectBot a nice little SSH client, with some good keyboard support. The track ball clicked is your control key. When I am back on the ground I’ll have to check and see if there is an equivalent app in the T-Mobile market.

I just tried doing this two handed => FAIL, thumbs too big and inaccurate.

I do miss having cursor keys.

So the app i am using is called ‘Air Mouse’, I also had to enable internet sharing so my ipod touch could find my MBP. I don’t think I’m supposed to do that while in flight… oops, if you read this then there was no negative consequences because I was able to land and then post this to my blog.

Enough diversion with this post, back to working on the new confreaks web app, with my ipod touch as the keyboard.

Hard to believe this is my 3rd RubyConf.

Good things are in the wind…

Hopefully more soon from the east coast, videos will be recorded, processed and posted to Confreaks as quickly as we can.

Headed overseas to record the second annual Smidig conference.

I wanted to stick a photo of LAX in here, but it turns out the USB cable I use to transfer photos got stuck in a bag that I put in my checked-in suitcase… So photos will have to wait until I get to Norway.

It’s 77 degrees here in LA now, supposed to hit a high of 92, in Oslo it is 50 degrees with a high of 52.  Oslo is also 9 hours ahead of LA, so I’ll be landing arriving there Wednesday at 2:30 PM, which is the equivalent of 5:30 AM here.  Yes I am practicing my math for you, are you impressed?

I’m really liking my AT&T data card (company issue) it is a fantastic convenience at times like these.
