Blogging from Android

it's been a while since i started off with my Android device (HTC Desire), but for some unknown reason, i've never attempted or thought of blogging via the mobile.. well, till today that is.

i guess i'm just too lazy to even switch on the netbook!

randomly posted while waiting for Poppy to be home for dinner. kthxbai.

Quick note...

hola, i am still very much alive. for now.

went on a one-week leave. stayed home mostly.

re-played my old Rise of Nations game since i didn't manage to get a StarCraft II Beta invite. blah. ate a lot, slept even more, and spent rest of the time fiddling my new HTC Desire. Poppy paid for it, as my belated birthday gift. =)

wedding's drawing much nearer now and i'm back at work this week, so please expect less updates (not that there's a lot of readers these days, anyway).

back to the topic of android phone.

after some experimenting, here's a list of recommended apps/widgets which i very much love (and cannot live without) :

SMS Popup

self explanatory. thumbs up.

MySettings

one-page access to all the settings for ur phone. nice UI.

Advanced Task Killer

does everything it's supposed to.

note: users have to be careful about killing ur clock/todo apps as it will kill the alarm/reminder service.

Calorie counter by FatSecret

syncs with my account on FatSecret.com for my weight-gain plan/exercise records. what more can i ask for?

Astrid Task/Todo List

works nicely. will be better if it syncs with Google Tasks.

(am currently exploring Jorte which doubles up as a calendar + todo though)

AppBrain Market Sync

login to AppBrain webbie, add the apps u like, then open the AppBrain app on ur droid and sync. voila, installed!

more fiddling when i have time. tried the fring app last night with Poppy but i was too sleepy to continue playing... will update again when i have time. till then!
