Posts From iPhone

Original message from EasyWriter - March 23, 2009
I just tried and found that writing with EasyWriter on the iPhone works in horizontal orientation, with the keyboard, of course. This makes the individual keys larger but the keyboard takes up more of the available landscape than in the vertical mode. I think that I prefer to use EasyWriter in the vertical mode. Now how do I get this EastWriter Pro page to stay in portaiture mode, which I prefer for reading and writing? It's default orientation seems to be landscape even though I am holding the iPhone in the portrait orientation. I just tried it again. Apparently the default orientation is landscape, but if I hold the phone in the portrait orientation it does switch to that orientation.

Entering text into EasyWriter on the iPhone while sitting outside on the deck. It is easy to enter text outside in the sunlight with the iPhone, something I certainly can't do with the laptop computer.

And finishing this post today, May 28, 2009, I have been working with creating Online Learning Today - Episode 4, and tried making a reference slide with Photoshop CS3. I created a 7x5 image and entered the text as Myriad Pro Regular 24 point, and changed to Italic for the journal and volume number. I saved the image as a jpeg to the desktop. I will see if this is readable as a movie, and if not can increase the font size in the future.

We are leaving soon on a 9 day RV tour of Northern California and the Southern Oregon coast. I will be posting our progress on some venue.
