I have started a new project.

I have been looking at the samples included with the gdata source code. It does handle html so I would be able to format my posts and imbed links into them. What I need to do is figure out how to migrate it from a console app to an Android app. If I get it working at all I might release a beta of it. If there is enough interest, I might even make it available through the Market. It would be a pay app to cover some of the costs.

A-Blogger update

I uploaded the picture of Alexander last night via email publishing. I discovered that it stores the image at picasa. This means I can live with the fact this client cannot upload photos. I do have a problem with the fact that I cannot do ANY FORMATTING OF MESSAGES, past capitalization and punctuation. I cannot create new paragraphs as you can see in the post "General Update". Each number is supposed to be a new paragraph. The lack of formatting makes it tough to read.

This is Alexander, my grandson. There are more on Picasa.

General Update

1. I spent alot of time going through sample programs and tinkering with the gdata library trying to get it to access the server. I could not figure out how to display the data. I will look at the source code for A-Blogger and look at increasing the features of it. It already has a lot going for it. 2. This afternoon I cut down and partially cut up a dead blue spruce in our back yard. The Ryobi One+ Chainsaw that we bought worked great. I found out that it looks like the older batteries that I have seem to be going bad, they are about 3 years old. I will work on the cleanup some tomorrow. 3. I did a battery calibration on my T-Mobile G1 last night. It seems to have helped with the battery life. I am currently running it dead again for the second time. So far I am at just over 9 hours with moderate use. Only one or two calls though.
