Tonight after work (and dinner, and baby time) I got started on my first Android application. I’m actually doing it the “cheating” way, using Google’s App Inventor, but I figured what the hell, let’s see what I can get done in one evening. I’m not going to stay what the application is, not yet, but if I get something together I’ll see if I can’t get it into the Android Market here in the next week or so. It’s all a new experience for me, so we’ll see how this works out.

For today’s blog post (Day 57 of 2011) I was going to write a blog post on my phone, but I wanted an app to do it with. Well guess what? There don’t appear to be any apps in the Android Market that support MetaWeblog API, which is what this blog (running on Engage: Publish) uses for remote publishing.

I did find a reference to a project on code.google.com called Mobilogger, but after some testing I am not even going to bother linking to it as the application is far from complete and useful at this point.

So here I sit, writing a blog post from Windows Live Writer on my laptop. Perhaps now that my course is done I should really look into writing an  Android application, and maybe a blogging app would be a good place to start? hmmmm
