My latest experiment in terror: attempting to blog from my Tapwave Zodiac via a Bluetooth connection to my desktop PC. Okay, it’s not exactly a practical thing to do, given that my PC has a perfectly good copy of Mozilla Firefox installed and the computer’s keyboard is mere inches from the Palm Wireless Keyboard upon which I’m typing now, but it’s a good proof-of-concept to see if this would work over a real remote connection, like a Bluetooth phone.

The Web browser that ships on the Zodiac’s CD full of extra goodies isn’t half bad. I’ve had some problems with CSS rendering on some sites, but for a browser that’s not pulling pre-chewed bytes from a proxy server, it’s surviving first contact with the naked Web quite well. If this post makes it to the Web intact, then I can be assured of the browser’s usefulness for filling out Web forms, too.

Well, no time like the present, I suppose. Time to tap the Save button and see what happens.

Almost, but not quite. The blog entry was saved in the database, but posting produces an error in the Web browser. Apparently, it can properly get to http://www.tribblescape.com, but http://tribblescape.com is beyond its capabilities. Looks like I should check to make sure everything is forwarding properly at the domain level.
