David Bryson: October 2007 Archives

This is a test blog using my iPod touch. This is using the iMT plugin. What does take time are my big fingers being accurate enough to type quickly with one finger two doesn't work for me. Typing is faster than me trying to use my mobile Pebl. The keyboard reacts well especially the change to caps after a fullstop. The trick of checking spelling is to tap at the right place in a word but it prefers the end of a word for corrections. If you use a hypenated word like multi-professional, it still makes you go to the end of the word. 

A nice thing I just noticed is the magnification circle visible by touching and holding with your finger. This also allows you to locate the middle of a word to change or correct spelling. Only thing is no link to an image unless you know a location and can type in a URL. Scrolling requires touch and hold to bring up the magnifier then move towards top or bottom line of a section. Two returns are needed to separate text into paragraphs that are visible but they do not show when the blog entry is published. All told is quite easy to blog with the iPod touch on the move or in a coffee shop.

Thousands of people including many families turned out to see the parade of Dragons as they made their way down from 'The Spot', on London Road, down through the streets into the Market Square for a final fight between St George and the Dragon then a few fireworks.
