Drupal and Moblogs

bq. Moblog is a blend of the words mobile and weblog. A mobile weblog, or moblog, consists of content posted to the Internet from a mobile or portable device, such as a cellular phone or PDA. Moblogs generally involve technology which allows publishing from a mobile device. --Wikipedia

You can start moblogin under Drupal in less than 10 minutes. There are a couple of bloging clients that you can use. Some of them are free and some are charged services. I picked PicoBlogger2 because, it does not bind you to one service. PicoBlogger2 supports all the major blogging apis, flickr and their own picostation service. PicoBlogger2 also supports AutoBlogger.

*Setting up Drupal*

* Login as administrator
* Go to the module settings page
* Enable BlogAPI module and save your changes
* Go to the BlogAPI Module settings page.
* Setup Drupal to use MoveableType API

The configuration for drupal is now complete. You will now need to setup your blog client.

*Installing and setting up PicoBlogger2*

PicoBlogger2 currently supports Winmobile and SymbianOS

* Get the latest copy of PicoBlogger2 from: http://www.picostation.com/downloads.aspx
* Extract and Install the file, refer to the documentation for this.
* Launch PicoBlogger2 on your phone or pda
* You will now be asked to setup a default PicoStation account. This is not required but its is recommended.
* Go to Blog Accounts
* Select "MoveableType API"
* Your end point should be something like this, http://www.mydomain.com/xmlrpc.php
* The other fields are pretty self explanatory.
* Save your account.

And thats about it :) Happy mobloging. Thanks to PicoStation for creating such a good client and most of all keeping it open.

SMS via AddressBook.app

I have only tested this on my Nokia 6600. But I see no reason why it should not work if your phone plays well with a Mac. This is how I send a SMS using my Powerbook.

# Enable Bluetooth on your phone and your mac
# Launch the Address Book application
# You now need to connect the phone and the AddressBook.app, do this by clicking on the bluetooth button thats present in the tool bar.
# Search for the person you want to SMS
# If the user has a mobile number listed.
# Control-Click on the person's mobile number, You should now receive a menu to "Send SMS"
# Type in your message and click on "Send"
