My office this morning
When you need to get some creative work done after a week with too much work and too little sleep, a change of scenery helps. So I’ve been trying some completely mobile working.
My new phone (HTC Touch Diamond) works quite well for reading feeds and writing notes and blog posts, with a level of portability you don’t have with a larger device.
An onscreen keyboard may not seem ideal for writing longer posts, but any problems there are made up for by being able to start writing without any waiting to get set up. Downloading a better keyboard is a must though. The one that comes with the diamond is a big improvement on the windows mobile default, but TouchPal does better for writing longer posts in full.
Most of the writing I do with OneNote mobile, which is a good text editor with easy synchronisation and the ability to add photos. I don’t actually post from my phone, after syncing I post from OneNote on my tablet.
I’d like to be able to post directly but while I have found programs that edit text well and programs that post to a blog well, I haven’t found anything that does both well. I don’t trust web forms not to delete all my work unexpectedly.
