Moblogging in Atom: MobileAtom J2ME works

Just tried MobileAtom J2ME that Tim mentioned to me half an hour ago: it works fine!

I was able to modify a post on my blogger weblog, first post from the blogger ui from my Treo... all this while attending a conference call (sorry guys if I felt a bit distracted: I just couldn't resist:-)

I could not test it on my blojsom blog because he hardcoded the destinations to blogger and typepad. I'm on a Mac, the J2ME toolkit has only a windows and linux installer, my VirtualPC partitions are on an external disk at home, so I can't recompile it now. I had tested Russel Beattie's AtomME on blojsom but it did not work. David Czarnecki had posted a fix but I had no time to apply it.

Now we just need to deploy Roller 0.9.9 on blogs.sun.com to get J2ME/Atom powered moblogging here!

Dave, Will, John, when do you guys upgrade?

Nota Bene: Robert Sayre, who wrote MobileAtom, was introduced to me by Tim Bray. He gave me a great tip: Michael Powers created a Darwin/OSX port of the Mobile Information Device Profile (MIDP) Reference Implementation v1.0.3.: see MIDP 1.0.3 for OSX. No need of VirtualPC anymore to do J2ME coding on a Mac! Thank you guys!

Earthquake in Santa Clara 2 minutes ago!

I'm on a conf call with my colleagues in Santa Clara now, and it seems they just experienced a minor earthquake. Minor because we resumed the conf call right away and all seems fine with them.

It's not yet listed on the USGS Earthquakes page. I'll signal it to them. They have a great Map, and even a RSS feed. See the list at USGS Earthquakes: RSS Feed Information:-)

I signaled it. It's not yet on the map

But there was a 5.9 magnitude earthquake a few minutes ago in southern California
