exif, dinner

his is a picture of the awesome entree dave@ lagniappes made for me last night. i ordered "something spicy& vegetarian" as usual :-)

(why do different android apps have different keyboard layouts? i love the long-press-home. i've tried to publish this entry five times and haven't gotten the thank you. :-p no error msg. )

now i've added a glowy-eyed nisha pic to match the china as basement kitteh pic. and pics=0 again! even wih pix =0, the darn thing won't publish.

I just pasted this here for a holding spot so i can start o er with the app.

nisha

nisha is watching uncle dudley's boyfriend through the kitchen door, occasionally woofing at him. she has trained him to feed her treats when he comes home in the evening. he claims to not like dogs.

(obligatory bug mention: i openwd the estrip app, took the pic of nisha, wrote the entry and now pics=0. reattaching now. both the orig size and stripped versions are in the gallery (separate issue with the motorola phone) how come the text doesn't wrap in the horizontal keyboard screen?)

chocolate in toronto

(crap! the main journal entry field clears itself when it i hit the back button! take two...)

Lilith fair was a big Lilith fail today. Lana and i made it to whole foods when it started to rain. not just a little rain, a real downpour. we didn't want to stand in the rain so we went to the oldest vegetarian restaurant in Toronto for an early dinner. I'll try to find the name later. Edit: Annapurna Vegetarian Restaurant.) It cleared up for about 20 minutes and then started raining again. We decided to bail on Lilith altogether. instead we went to visit her daughter at her new (first!) job at Soma, a fancy chocolatier in the amazing Distillery Historic District. omg. best. chocolate. eva. i had a spicy hot chocolate and got some pieces to go.

oh, Canadians are weirder than just milk in a bag. their marshmallows are square. and evidently my dog has an alternate life in Toronto.

heidi writes at 12:42:41 07/25/10 - Comment #57487: AHHHHHH thank you for the long-press-home info. Exactly what I need - I've been wondering how to alt-tab but hadn't put it into words.

I realized when I was typing the steps that's how the back button functions. Thanks for clarifying it for me.

Yea for save draft! :-) Thanks, (e:Paul)!!!!!

paul writes at 12:38:40 07/25/10 - Comment #57485: I played with the steps you gave and hitting the back button in a text area after typing is like clicking undo. That is a android default, not something I wrote. By hitting back you are essentially asking it to undo the text you just wrote.

paul writes at 12:37:32 07/25/10 - Comment #57484: Well the next button works now in the update. However, the save feature you are looking for also kind of exists.

If you want to leave the app and have your text as is, just hit the home key. It brings you to the home screen. Then get whatever data you want and then long press the home key. It will bring up all running apps. Then select the estrip app which is running in the background and you should be good to go.

To be extra safe you can select the title again before leaving. Whenever you switch between title and entry it saves the data to you phones local database until the publish button is pressed.

heidi writes at 12:37:06 07/25/10 - Comment #57483: The ready-to-eat bar at Whole Foods was $2.99/100 grams. I found a piece of cheese for comparison that was 92 grams - it was nothing! Way expensive. And I can't believe I forgot to get gas before leaving the US and paid >$4/gal. (That's C$1.049 per litre. Liter?)

tinypliny writes at 12:30:54 07/25/10 - Comment #57479: Apparently, "Annapurna peaks are the world's most dangerous mountains to climb, with a fatality to summit ratio of more than 40%". The wonders of wiki-surfing.

Well... at least they use SI units. We all know how weird it is to be Liberia, Burma and US. ;-)

heidi writes at 12:23:34 07/25/10 - Comment #57476: 1. tap estrip icon
2. tap title field
3. type. (hit next, no response, hit the back button to return to the entry fields screen)
4. tap the blog field.
5. type. don't hit the done field because the next button didn't work. hit the back button, realize you want to look up the name of the first vegetarian restaurant in Toronto, hit back button again, it clears the blog field. *sigh* and retype.

I think this means I want a "save draft" feature.

paul writes at 12:23:19 07/25/10 - Comment #57475: Oh and there is an app update that should fix the next button and temp photo issue on your phone.

paul writes at 12:14:57 07/25/10 - Comment #57474: What do you mean by back button? It should cancel the back button so that you can't do that like we talked about the other night.
