I’m bored, so I decided to make another post on my blog.

For those who know what the Ruby language is, run:

ruby -e "max=7;blk=lambda{|i|puts(('.'*(i*2-1)).center(max*2-1))};1.upto(max-1,&blk);max.downto(1, &blk)"

(Thanks to scott)

For those who dont, that outputs:

      .

Yes, I’m so bored i carefuly copy/pasted a diamond. Yay me.

ANYWAYS

it’s 1:14am, so I’m going to bed….since I’ve been up after 2am for the past 4 nights.

I’ve recently had the idea that maybe you can blog and check comments on your blog from your cellphone.

It seems rather interesting to me, I can have a life AND blog (…or, i can start at both )

My basic idea for it is this:

1. You text it (or in my case send a blank pic message, since my phone is CRAP) to blog@duckinator.net
2. It replies with a list of commands
3. You send it a command
4. It gives you a response

Repeat the last 2 as needed.

Most cellphones have a email address in the format of 123456789@tmomail.net (t-mobile’s format).

Given that much, i’ve managed to talk to myself via my cellphone and gmail.

If i figure out smtp (for receiving emails) ….or a way to sortof hijack a webmail site… I can get some automated responses.

Automated responses would eventually lead to being able to request blog entries and/or comments via text message (SMS)

Please leave comments with ideas and suggestions!

Just seeing if everything’s set up right.

My dog’s being kinda retarded

(Works fine)
