Installing WordPress…

I installed WordPress with just the tablet. This required a few apps beyond what came installed by default. The application I used to SSH to my webserver, download the WordPress installer, and configure the installation was ConnectBot (by Kenny Root and Jeffrey Sharkey). This worked well exept for one thing, none of the default keyboards installed on the Transformer Prime have arrow keys so manipulating Vi to edit the configuration file was impossible for me. I donloaded the Hacker’s Keyboard (by Klaus Weidner) which has a standard layout, including arrow keys, and worked well to finish the installation.

While it would be nice to hae everything I am acustomed to on Windows it was not hard to find what I needed in the app store.

Living life on Android

This blog will detail my attempt to live life with my Android tablet and phone. I’ll be giving up using Windows, except at work as we aren’t a bring your own device shop.

My tablet is an ASUS Transformer Prime and phone is a Samsung Galaxy S II.  I currently don’t have the docking station/keyboard for the Prime but it is coming in a few days. I did the install of wordpress completely using thPrime. I’ll detail how that went a bit later.

That’s all for now.
