The trouble with moblogging
Runcible duncible
Scroobious Scrivener
got a new cameraphone,
wanted to blog.
Turns out the process is -
technocompatibly -
not quite as easy as
falling off log.
Dammit.
Oh, the pictures are great. But Blogger is ignoring my messages. I have no idea whether the problem is with my method, my phone, my network or Blogger*. Ah well. At least I have the pics, and once I get the requisite doojigger**, I'll be able to upload them the good olfashioned way.
In the meantime I'm getting enough amusement merely from contemplating my conversion to the Dark Side. From a mobile-phobic, basics-only, contracts-are-deals-with-the-devil kind of girl, to "Ooh! I can record video! ...How long is it till I can upgrade to more megapixels?"

* Update: It's Blogger. Doesn't like UK phones. Double dammit.
** Woulda had it already if the dude in the shop hadn't lied to me. "Oh yeah, a regular USB cable, whatever you have, that'll be fine. Don't worry about a Bluetooth dongle." Sure, dude.

Not that I don't understand you, scroob. I enjoy your writing, that's why I read. It's fun and educational. But when you speak of techno-stuff, that I really understand. Like back when you were dreaming of "nubile young lasses" and chicken fillet outfits. These are all things that make sense to me.
According to Wikipedia the origin of "dongle" is unknown. Anyone here think the word "dongle" wasn't coined by some übernerd guy? Anyone? I thought not.
And thanks for the Onion link. I especially liked the closing quote.
Omar, I'll try to find more opportunities for posting about hot lesbian sex and food. Anything to please the readers.
Jam, I don't care who coined it, dongle is just a great word.
