FUUUUUUUCK!
So guess who just lost 5 hours of typing thanks to internet explorer mobile.

There is a reason why I decided to avoid internet explorer mobile like the fucking plague: It's SHIT! It crashed my entire phone first time I went on LJ to post, and when I managed to get a post mostly finished, it fucked up and I couldn't even cut-paste out of IE in order to save. The only place I could save was splitting into chunks, and saving in the titles of favourites, wich were then sorted by title rather than date, so it would take me longer to unscramble them than to type the whole lot out again.

What's worst is that it took me longer than normal to type the thing out ad dit it than normal, because the up/down arrows are broken in IE, and the phone keyboard is about a third of the speed of a normal keyboard.

It makes me want to hurt things!

Is there an email-or-whatever-based lj-posting method that anyone knows about that would work on my phone?

I can think of some ugly solutions, given in increasing order of hackiness:

- The easiest solution I would expect would be to hack together some php/whatever script where you can type the message, submit it to the SRCF, and then the script submits it to LJ (picking a random crossposting plugin for wordpress should give you most of the code). Alternatively you could just install wordpress+a cross poster for the only purpose of the cross posting actually posting to livejournal. But that seems a bit of a sledgehammer. Wordpress does have an e-mail-based posting system, so you could use that straight out of the box as well (which will then finally do the cross-posting I'm guessing/hoping (although I'm sure it doesn't take too much .forward and random hacking fun to create your own).
- You have putty, don't you, so you could use another browser (lynx), or centerICQ+Jabber+Frank. Yes, I'm just being silly now.
- Full-size PC. Discuss. :P

Jabber? You can post using the LJ Talk service bot.
