email post - well that was anticlimactic

background: i was testing out the wordpress email-to-post feature while i was getting my car serviced today. there i was, sitting at the service center, typing an email post thinking to myself, “man this is going to be so awesome. im going to be able to write on angry ninja without having to actually be in front of a computer.” if i have an epiphany while driving around, cruising on the bart, or sitting on the can, i can whip out my phone and write about it. sweet! i typed out the email, sent it, got back home and what do i see? nothing. zilch. nada.

conclusion: email-to-post feature in its current stage sucks. if anyone has gotten it working on their wordpress, let me know.

below is the post that i painstakingly typed out on my blackjacks tiny qwerty keyboard, risking carpal tunnel syndrome and my ps3 playing ability:

My car is getting serviced right now. Theres only so many times i can play solitaire on the cell phone, and nothing is on the slingbox, so im pretty bored.

So i thought to myself, “you know what self, this would be a great time to test out the email-to-post feature on wordpress.” Basically, if you knew the email address im using for this feature, you would be able to write for angry ninja too! Good thing i made the email address super secret and obscure. Take that you hackers!

Ive also realized that typing out an entire post on a blackjack is pretty intense. I think my thumbs might fall off.

Whats going on tonight? Im going to be going to the giants game. I believe its woody tony ravey night. Im excited that i get to eat hot dogs and garlic fries, and to watch the game at beautiful at&t park (might be even better than watching the game in hd). You should watch and look for me. I think ill be in section 119.

Theres also plenty of tv for you to watch as well, you know, if baseball isnt your thing. The warriors are playing the nuggets in a huge game with playoff implications (winner will probably make the postseason, losers wont), and for you non sports fans, scrubs, my name is earl, the office and 30 rock are all on. Gonna be working my comcast dvr tonight!
