FFXI Blog Reading OTA

Reading Blogs OTA

With a little bit busier in schedule :/ I kinda hav less time beside a PC just browsing. So… I use my BlackBerry a lot to get a lot of Mai entertainment – including reading everyone’s blogs.

One thing bothers me is clicking through bookmarks on the BB. Waiting for the browser to load, finding the bookmark button, then the bookmark, submit etc.. too much clicking on Mai phone… so I ended up writing a little program to auto-launch the website by clicking the Icon. Kinda like creating a Shortcut URL to most-visit website. You’d probably understand if you’re also a BB user.

So yea, I made links to sites I like visiting, such as newspaper, pizza hut to go etc.. and figure I can do the same for TTTO too, rather than thumb-punching in tarutarutimes-online.net which is kinda pretty freaking long!

So here’s the OTA Installation of those shortcut links. It’d look just like the icons on the right. I included my own too, since I do see a few people surfing from Mobile browser to here :D

Gotta love the WoW Topic!

Simply open your BB browser, either click the link with your BB or punch it in. It’s shorten for easier punching.

TTTO’s OTA (http://www.staronion.com/ttto)
the StarOnion Mobile OTA (http://www.staronion.com/bb)

Don’t worry, not installing spyware to your phone so I can harvest your PlayOnline password :D The code are signed by Research In Motion since … launching a browser is apparently under their Controlled API. But yea, don’t install if you aren’t comfortable with it :D

Oh yea.. don’t ask me why the phone says 4:52am.. maybe I’m not sleeping… well lol… or just procrastinating :D

And yea.. I kinda like surfing on mobile too. Stuffs unfiltered without logging in. It helps I mean… phone browser wipes cookies on reset so.. its kinda terribly annoying to login every other day to see un-filter stuff.

If your blogs are also mobile-compatible and would like a little shortcut, just comment below with a link to a png icon you’d like for your blog.

Other Stuff

Finally finish updating Mai Red Mage equipment over the course of 5 months.

Oh yea.. so like the other day.. Mr Scragg from the AH was like farming gilz… and I’m like.. your time is better spent on coding the AH than farming =_=; cuz none of us can… and there’s quite a lot of work to be done… yet he’s farming hard for his relic.

I suggested he should make a “GIL DONATION” button, so he can spend less time farming gilz, and more time enhancing the AH we use everyday. He’s like… “that’s not right” haha… but I thought it’d be funny to see at least… plus it’s not like everyone can do it anyway. Unless you’re on Hades.. then it wouldn’t really work… just a thought though.

PS: I hate/love these vids.. but yea.. fail video (I do feel sorry for some people, such as the diver :x)

    Maiev, couple of things. First off… AHHHH, MAI EYES! I IS BLIND FOR LIEF LOOKING @ NEKKID TARU… X_x

    Second, the dramatic display of epic fail. Let us not forget rule #16: If you fail in epic proportions, it may just become a winning fail. =D

    Oh rly? haha ok well, it works great :) only exception is if you can put a “Next Page” thing at the bottom. Having to scroll all the way back to the top to click next 5 is a little inconvenient but I kinda got used to it =) :D

    Kimi I’m so confused. wtf u talking about?
    lol

    It’s one of those stupid “rules of the internet” (not worksafe if you look em up btw, beware). Don’t worry bout it, Kimi gets silly like that from time to time. =D
