Harumph

Yesterday, I tried posting here with the Crackberry using the Blackberry browser. I could navigate to this page, but there was no login or new post options. I Googled Blogspot Login and was able to access my account, and even had an extremely minimal blog post interface. I was unable to access anything else, such as the option to edit posts, or anything else at all. Publish Post or Save Now - the only choices.

So, I laboriously pecked out a post on the chiclet keyboard, and hit the publish button. I was presented with the previous screen with about eight words of my first sentence. I thought - this is Alltel, and I was in a fairly poor coverage area, so maybe it has to have an EDVO signal. I typed it all out again, and when I had the required signal I sent 'er off again. Same result. Nothing showed up on this page. On the off chance there was some kind of browser cache issue, I shut the phone off and pulled the battery. Nope, it didn't publish.

Doing a bit of Googling just now, I find I have to email my posts - I've already tried that with Letter Me Later to publish on a schedule, and it didn't render HTML worth a crap. I've also learned perhaps the Opera browser for Blackberry might work.

All I know is for mature technology, it ain't worth what fills the cow lot. Internet at our fingertips? We gotta long way to go, baybee. Brain to internet interface? I doubt I'll volunteer.

And here I thought we'd have flying cars by now. Gah.
