New tech test

Have updated to get camera on iPod. This might mean I can blog a few photos en route. I don't think I will upload camera photos while I am walking. Am afraid I might Doofus it and delete them off the memory card on a strange computer in another language!

  1. I think and hope you find that you enjoy writing about your days on the Chemin and if I am right, we will all enjoy reading about your adventures!

  2. You probably won't get to read too much en route though Michèle. My patience with typing with one finger on the iPod Touch is limited. I am not of the modern generation who can manage two fingers on it!

  4. Reading your beautiful blogs on the Ipod without a spelling mistake ...... practice has made you perfect! Would propose that you write a "how to" technical article on your Camino on how you managed to blog so successfully. BTW my grandkids turns the touch-screen sideways and uses their two thumbs to tap away. Grandpa Joe, from cold Christchurch, who enjoyed following your blog

  5. It depended if I had my glasses on or not Grandpa Joe- made lots of mistakes when I didn't! I don't think many need a 'how to' now: things have changed in the last four years. Wifi is quite widely available in Spain on the Camino Frances, though hardly at all on the Cluny route. Huge numbers of walkers are carrying smart phones, and quite a lot are even carrying iPads. I couldn't believe it when I first saw one of those pulled out of someone's pack- but then I saw more and more of them!

  6. Precisely the reason why you should share your recent experience on the the techie stuff .... there has been too much negativity on use of technology on this forum. In this day and age smartphones are replacing the old mobile phones, perhaps it is the age group on the Camino that finds technology hard to understand. By age it does not mean how old but what their mindset is. You have done a wonderful job, we appreciated and truly enjoyed reading your blog, I am sure your family and friend have the same feelings. Thank you Margaret.
