Mr Bats wants in! (A Bravia box)

QuickTime movie file - I was expecting some miracle with YouTube but not yet, it seems.
Image isn't great - Mr Bats in the dark scratching at a Bravia box in early 2007 I believe. He was let in the box eventually and played with it for weeks.
 
I deleted this pest initially but after a comment from Kevin decided to leave it so we can see what Posterous does with video - for now. Just went to my gmail sent folder and resent.

Managing comments by email

What I did:

  1. I received an email with the contents of Kenneth's comment on my second post. 
  2. I replied that email with a comment.
  3. It appeared on Posterous post's comments.
I wonder if Posterous-account holder Kenneth gets to track the comment as well.

I like this simple plain interface. Now my blog looks uggg-gleeh!

Cycling to Envirofest'08

Last Saturday I cycled down to Envirofest'08. What better way to travel to such an event! I had left mid-afternoon to get some stuff done and rode down this Bikely route. I received a warm welcome from my kakis who were tickled to see me in my cycling gear, and just in time for the opening.  Bloggers Ria Tan and Debby Ng subsequently posted to WildFilms and the Pulau Hantu blog respectively.


Enough drivel, let's see how Posterous handles this photo attachment from Debby's post.
