Attach files to emails (gmail) from your PDA

Today I spent a few time resizing pictures from my holidays to send them to my family using gmail, my PDA and a 9600bps mobile phone conexion. Then I wrote the email on the gmail mobile-version page.
Unfortunately, after having written the email, I found that there were no options for attaching file to teh email!
Hopefully, I also found that the Html-only version of Gmail was also correctly rendered on my PDA (PIE WM5), and perfectly usable. It’s a bit more heavy, but offers a lot more options than the mobile version: you can save drafts, attach files… Almost everythings, but no AJAX.

Versión PDA-friendly de cualquier sitio web

Google propone una gateway para ver versiones PDA de cualquier sitio web.
Si añades http://www.google.com/gwt/n?u= delante de la URL de (casi)cualquier web, veras una version amigable para tu PDA de la misma!
He configurado esa cadena en las “macros” (Fx) del Resco Keyboard. De esta forma, cuando pongo una URL en PIE, solo me cuesta un par de teclas mas para lanzar la version PDA friendly. ¡Pruebalo!

Metro de Madrid… adelgaza!

“Metro de Madrid: vuela” Pues sera en sus sueños!

Veo mas bien “Metro de Madrid, navega! (o ahogate!)”. Porque aqui, caen dos gotas de agua y se encharcan las via, y claro, te cortan la linea…

O tambien “Metro de Madrid, adelgaza!”. Hoy en la linea 4 hacia un calor que no veas! Claramente no funcionaba el aire, lo que no se es si es que funcionaba la calefaccion o no!

En fin, que te dan ganas de correr el metro y en general el transporte publico…

Useful web development tools for newbie

Recently I’ve had to set up some web site for work (a CMS and a blog). What took me most time is to modify the layout and apprearance of the pages playing with CSS and php scripts.

I’ve found some interesting tools that can help the CSS/Webdev newbie in that work:
* Web Developer Extension for Firefox: This extenxion adds a menu and a toolbar to the browser with various web developer tools: disabling of various features including the cache, JavaScript and page colors, various cookie related tools including disabling, adding and viewing cookies, tools related to the CSS on the page including displaying the styles applied to the selected element and live editing of the CSS, ability to manipulate the forms on the page including display the form details and populating form fields, image related tools including finding broken images and outlining images, various informational tools including displaying element information and viewing the document size… (see features page for more)
* Web Development Bookmarklets: These bookmarklets let you see how a web page is coded without digging through the source, debug problems in web pages quickly, and experiment with CSS or JS without editing the actual page. One of them is a live CSS editor, another one is a JS shell…
