Guest winterminute Posted November 12, 2003 Report Posted November 12, 2003 I am looking for an app that I can blog using my smartphone 2002. I know there are some for JME, but I haven't found any for smartphone. Thanks!
Guest nickcornaglia Posted November 12, 2003 Report Posted November 12, 2003 Havn't seen any yet. But you could get a Textamerica account. The site originated as a Mobolg site where you can post photos via email directly from your phone. It has since expanded to where you could post text only entries and has many new templates that look just like your run of the mill blog sites...but you could always customize the css. Other than that, I believe MovableType has a plugin that allows you to post via email as well. Let me know if you fond something suitable other than Textamerica....but it's a nice option of you dont need your own domain name or hostinig....and it's FREE.
Guest soccerwrek Posted November 12, 2003 Report Posted November 12, 2003 I've been debating about writing my own moblog for my website and just sending emails to my mail server (e.g. from my phone) inserting blog entries using the text and photo attachments in the received email. The only problem is that I can't find a free pop3 client control for c#. Reason I'm looking for a pop3 client is because I really don't want to have to write a parser for the messages (e.g. figuring out boundaries, MIME types, etc.). I would be reinventing the wheel. :roll: Anyone know of a good free POP3 client written in .NET? :?:
Guest winterminute Posted November 12, 2003 Report Posted November 12, 2003 I am not sure if this is what you looking for, but I am really impressed with the Code Project's example for real-world problems: Here are all their articles for POP3: http://www.codeproject.com/info/search.asp...=11%2F11%2F2003 However, I think you probably mean SMTP since POP3 is a retrival only protocol and Outlook Express, Eurora, etc all use SMTP to send mail. So your server would be receiving SMTP mail. Here are the articles on SMTP: http://www.codeproject.com/info/search.asp...=11%2F11%2F2003 I hope you don't think I just posted a bunch of searches, but I love the Code Project these articles are always well writen with a compiled version and source code and it is FREE. However, I was hoping that there would be a smartphone app that used worked with blogger.....
Guest winterminute Posted November 12, 2003 Report Posted November 12, 2003 How customizable is TextAmerica? Can I configure it to upload to my website and use templates so I can plug-it right into my website so it looks exactly like the rest of my site in terms of formatting, pictures, menus, etc. EDIT: I just found this: http://new.bastish.net/cgi-bin/mfop2/index.cgi Which appears to work as a blogging proxy -- You email this third-party company and then post it to your blog (they claim to work with a bunch of blogs). It is free and appears to be pretty good, but I don't how stable or how long it will be around. Also, MS is supposed to provide some moblogging stuff in Decemember, I don't know how this will be implemented, but if I know MS it will probably be pretty good.
Guest nickcornaglia Posted November 12, 2003 Report Posted November 12, 2003 This girl did a pretty seamless job of making the moblog look just like her page without knowing that you switched servers. http://www.sarahlane.com/blog/ Click on the picture on the upper left.
Guest [email protected] Posted November 12, 2003 Report Posted November 12, 2003 Can I get a quick definition of the word blog, what the heck is it?
Guest nickcornaglia Posted November 12, 2003 Report Posted November 12, 2003 Started from WebLog...shortened to Blog. Just an online journal....easy to edit via a web interface. MovableType.org is a popular example of this. A newer term is Moblog....short for MobileLog Used to describe the same kind of site...usually updated from a picture phone. TextAmerica.com is an example of this.
Guest soccerwrek Posted November 12, 2003 Report Posted November 12, 2003 I use Code Project quite a bit, too. I did a quick scan, but didn't see any code that I wanted to try to use. I need a POP3 code snippet (that handles attachments), class, or control. I don't need a SMTP object as .NET already provides a version I could use. --- Update --- I just found some code on Code Project... Must've overlooked it.
Guest Taoski Posted November 12, 2003 Report Posted November 12, 2003 I use Blogger to update my (un-updated) blog. I attempted to use the Blogger Blogthis! web app from my SPV using the address http://new.blogger.com/blog_this.pyra This did not work though... Blinkin javascript..... And then it froze my phone! Arghhh My Kak-blog
Guest winterminute Posted November 12, 2003 Report Posted November 12, 2003 soccerwrek >> What code did you end up finding?
Guest soccerwrek Posted November 12, 2003 Report Posted November 12, 2003 pop3 Library in C# But I'm having problems with it. The guy's state machine get's stuck when retrieving the first message from my mail server because he's looking at the message's size and comparing it to what he's retrieved so far. When they are equal (this is where the problem occurs) he moves to the next state. For some reason, there's more data in the message than the reported size and so the two never match up, thus hanging his state machine. SoftArtisans apparently has a free/beta POP3 client, but I can't get that to work reliably either. I'm getting off topic here of what the intent of the thread was meant to be for. If one of the moderators will move it, I'll continue on with what I find. Heck, I might even post my code for it. I plan on using C#, ASP.NET, and MySQL as the backend database.
Guest winterminute Posted November 13, 2003 Report Posted November 13, 2003 Wanna make it a little more open so we can substitute a database like MSSQL?
Guest soccerwrek Posted November 13, 2003 Report Posted November 13, 2003 I can code it so that MSSQL can be used as well. The only reason I was planning on using MySQL was because it is an opensource database and free for personal use.
Guest StarfireCT Posted November 17, 2003 Report Posted November 17, 2003 Actually, I write and maintain an application for MT based Blogs but it's for the PC and for the PocketPC platforms. If they ever get around to either a) releasing the .NET Compact Framework for SmartPhone 2002 or :lol: AT&T or Mot upgrades the MPx200 to SmartPhone 2003 which includes the .NET CF I'll be porting the PPC version to the SmartPhone platform. I wouldn't hold your breath for either one tho... I know a won't happen and b is a long shot :shock:
Guest winterminute Posted November 17, 2003 Report Posted November 17, 2003 Starfire >> I am interested in your PPC app. What is the URL? As for compact framework, it isn't possible on 2002. I don't know enough about how teh framework works, but I know that there is no way for them to add it at this point. I have an Mpx200 and I am holding out that ATTWS will open the eyes and release an upgrade, but then again, they can't even run their business, so I won't hold my breath... I am looking at the QTEK 8080 (which is really expensive), but has 2003 and way more features than the Mpx200.
Guest nickcornaglia Posted November 17, 2003 Report Posted November 17, 2003 Here is an article from Jenneth.info that describes 2 programs for the PPC. http://www.jenneth.info/archives/000332.html There is one that requires.net....that may be starfire's UI've personally used PocketSharpMT. That's a pretty cool program.
Guest Uzay Posted April 29, 2004 Report Posted April 29, 2004 Heya, i'm currently testing an application which truely rocks... click here for more info
Guest Richie M Posted April 29, 2004 Report Posted April 29, 2004 Heya, i'm currently testing an application which truely rocks... click here for more info Yes Uzay as you have said in your other two posts :roll: (please stop corss posting :D) but this topic does say "for Smartphone 2002" that app you are testing is for Smartphone 2003!
Guest xmob Posted April 29, 2004 Report Posted April 29, 2004 Guys You could always consider smrsh (sendmail remote shell). This is what I use to update my blog site from my mobile.
Guest bolasz Posted April 29, 2004 Report Posted April 29, 2004 Reason I'm looking for a pop3 client is because I really don't want to have to write a parser for the messages (e.g. figuring out boundaries, MIME types, etc.). A friend of mine wrote a few months ago exactly what you are looking for. It's in php but if you're in control over your server, this shouldn't be a problem.
Guest soccerwrek Posted April 29, 2004 Report Posted April 29, 2004 Yea, I have control over my site and have PHP already loaded. I already have code to do blogs in C# and ASP.net (my site runs both ASP.net and PHP). What I'm needing is some sort of control (that's public domain) that will check a pop3 mailbox. If your friend's PHP code will check a pop3 mailbox on a defined interval and publish the content, it would be interesting to see what they did if they are open to sharing it.
Guest bolasz Posted April 29, 2004 Report Posted April 29, 2004 What the code does is checking a given pop3 mailbox, downloading the mails and "extract" the pictures from them. He wrote it for dateing site on wap where everyone could load up pictures about him/herself this way. You had to put some sort of identification in the subject and the code automatically saved the pictures to the identified profile, most probably using mysql.
