Posting from a mobile phone

That’s what I need to do. I used to do it all the time in Germany, MMS to email – 20six would receive and post the text and picture in line. Onece I got to the UK and moved to Vodafone UK they put this html wrapper on all MMS to email messages that trashed my posts by placing images and text and worst of all my mobile number around the core of my message. They wouldn’t turn it off either!

Now that I have the blog back up and running again I’d like to choose a good plugin to handle posting from the phone via email or MMS. Expect a few messed up test posts!

Sophie’s weekend in Ireland

I’m heading home to Ireland tonight – last flight out of Leeds-Bradford into Dublin. An advance party of Jean and Sophie went out yesterday – Jean to work and Sophie to holiday with Mimi and Grandad. Got the following pic from Dad last night.

And I believe they are on the beach this afternoon with a picnic, enjoying the sunshine in lovely Laytown. I’ll see about putting up some more of Dad’s pics over the weekend.

Nearly there.

I’ve been absent for quite some time. I’d like to blame 20six for the interruption in service but to be honest it was about time I moved on from there. 20six did a disastrous migration to a new platform that comlpetely destroyed my small but treasured blog. I started my old blog at www.20six.co.uk/adam_ball back when we moved to Germany from Dublin in early 2003 and it was great to document our time there and the birth of Sophie. We moved to the UK in early 2005 and I suppose since then I haven’t been giving my audience (Mimi and Grandan, Owen, Helen, and some further afield) what they want – more pics of Sophie. Actually I blame Vodafone for that – they also monkeyed up the MMS to email route that meant I couldn’t post from my phone anymore. Right who else can I rail against….. more over the fold.
