E-mail is nice, but typically I’m only at a computer either at home or at work… The problem is, only one of those places is an appropriate environment to be writing blog post, at least for me.

I do, however, spend a lot of time commuting, even after having moved closer to work. This presents a pretty good environment for writing blog posts, provided I don’t get motion sickness too quickly. The only issue is, I would need to find some way of efficiently writing blog posts and saving them to be uploaded once I regained acces to an Internet connection.

Surprise, surprise, there’s an iPhone/iPod Touch app that does exactly this, and it’s free! I’m using it now just to test it out, an it’s actually not too bad, though this might be more of a critique of extended typing on the iPod Touch than it is of the WordPress application.

I keep having issues with the built-in WordPress installer, so I think I’m just going to use the command line and grab everything via wget.

Edit: This worked perfectly, and I definitely like Postie more than the built-in wp-mail.php method. Definite plus: being able to add tags to the post by e-mail, among other things. I’m going to have fun with this. Also, Postie supports POP3 with SSL without my ssl://server hack. I think it ends up working the same way, but the additional layer of abstraction makes it dead simple for a first-time user.
