Sony Ericsson Xperia Ray: Xperia Mini replacement?

While looking into the Xperia Mini Pro (the reason why will be in another post), I came across the Xperia Ray which had already launched in the UK. With a form factor similar to the Xperia Mini that is currently available, albeit thinner at 9.4 mm thick, it seems that the Xperia Ray will replace the equally small yet bulkier phone. The most compelling reasons for this is the inclusion of the Exmor R for Mobile camera sensor, a front facing camera and the 3.3" display with a resolution of 480x854, all of which the current Xperia Mini lacks. This could also be a foretelling of a Xperia Mini Pro replacement which is merely receives the more capable Exmor R for Mobile sensor and sharper display. I will update this post once I receive further word on whether these musings are true or not.

Posting to Multiple Blogging Platforms using tarpipe

For the last few years, I've always hosted my blogs on one and only one platform at a time. The biggest problem with that is there is a single point of failure. The Gadgetic Musings blog I have hosted at http://gadgeticmusings.net currently has all of pictures broken on it and the one I have hosted by Wordpress.com risks getting comprised should Wordpress.com's server farm get comprised again. Hosting the site myself would cost me considerably more than owning the domain so I came up with a new plan to keep the blog up and running. I decided to host the blog on multiple platforms and post to then using email.

I accomplished this using a single tarpipe workflow, tumblr and blogspot (to start). In the tarpipe workflow I created, I used one MailDecoder, two TextInputs, and two Mailers to complete the project.

This will be the first of many posts posted using the workflow.
