Testing Ink Blogging Trying to get a few tools working with each other. Got Windows Live Writer set up for my blog but I want to get it to work with Windows Journal and Posterous. Let’s see if using the Send To Email plugin will work for posting to Posterous. Also grabbed the Ink blog plugin, Snipping Tool integration plugin, and Clipboard Live. I’m imagining copying the entire page from Journal into Live writer and then emailing to Posterous.
No love for UMPC inkers
I am writing on my old trusty Samsung Q1.
A year ago most tableteers wouldn’t even
consider this as a viable inking device.
I’ve gotten used to it and I hardly have
any vectoring issues with it even with
my palm resting on the screen. Now
I have the Fujitsu U810, which in my
case, has even a softer touchscreen. In
a nutshell, inking on the U810 is plain
horrible.
Looking down the line of future
UMPC’s such as the HP 2133, which
I consider a subnotebook, and other
Asus Eee PC clones, it appears there’s
a slim to none chance we will see a
viable UMPC inking device. Even MID’s
will pass and try to go with finger
touch interfaces to compete with the
iPhone/iPod touch.
So what’s left for people like me?
Hope OQO continues with including an
active digitizer? Hope future Nokia
Internet Tablets will still have a
touchscreen and include a stylus?
Oh well… I’ve all but given up on
seeing a UMPC with a 7″ screen
that has a dual-mode active/passive
digitizer. 
I found out Inkseine was available a day early from Rob of gottabemobile.com so I went ahead and installed it. So far it seems cool. It works perfectly fine on the Fujitsu U810’s touchscreen. I like the interface, but I’m not exactly sure what I’d use it for. I’d still rather use Windows Journal for ink blog posts. It’s fun to use so I suggest you try it out.
Bill ‘Taxman’ Miranda has been
eagerly awaiting the Mac Book Air.
He finally got one and has been
liking it so far.
His real-world battery tests have
resulted in better results than
most tests. He points out by
default, the power settings are
not set to ‘longer battery life’
mode.
For Sierra Wireless 875U
users.. it fits right into
the Air.
Congrats to the Taxman
on his brand new
‘Thin Air’.

I’m trying out Ript in this post. It’s fantastic. Thanks Sumocat!

National Handwriting Day
Well, well. I found out from Sumocat via
GBM it’s National Handwriting Day today.
This day was chosen using John Hancock’s
birthday which makes perfect sense.
GottaBeMobile has been posting a lot
about ink blogging lately. I’m not sure if
interest will blow up significantly, but
it would be nice to gain a few more
inkers.
