More noodling with Device::Ericsson::AccessoryMenu took me over into X11::*.

Found X11::GUITest to be really useful, with the small caveat that there's no no exposed interface for sending seperate KeyDown and KeyUp events. Quickly hacked that in and sent a patch off to the author.

Wrote a basic syndicator for podblog->use.perl.org by using an extra view class and a modifed version of jjohn's journal_client. Now I'll be able to keep the world current without having to force them over into my corner to do it.

Hit the 30 posts in 4 hours limit while sending over a loading dose, but that shouldn't have to happen again.

Noticed that the index page was getting a bit heavy to view, so tweaked the template to suppress any entries after the first few.

Maybe Simon Cozens is right, and I should switch to using Bryar, though I suspect that I'd end up expending more effort than just writing a Bryar::DataSource::Pod module. That and I'm already quite attached to my own system of reinvented wheels.

Still no mood graphics...
