I'm writing this using my phone. I've always wanted to use h2g2 on a portable device, as suggested in The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy. The nearest h2g2 ever got to this was making 'h2g2 on the move' - a WML skin for h2g2, for use on WAP enabled mobile phones. A good idea, except that WAP turned out to be duff technology.
Anyway, most mobile internet devices can handle HTML - the real problems are bandwidth and screen resolution. h2g2 is quite image intensive, and so almost (but not entirely) unusable on mobile devices.
So, I've decided to take matters into my own hands and I've created inject2g2 - a simple, small, low bandwidth site that provides a few basic h2g2 functions. The first useful function is adding a journal entry. Hopefully I'll add more.
Meanwhile, I can happily add to my journal, wherever I am - in bed, on a train, up a mountain... assuming O2 lets me have a signal, of course.
