I am excited to learn that my backup mail service, fastmail.fm, has upgraded their TOS for Enhanced users – I can now assign 200 aliases and 50 virtual domains there, and they have also implemented a 1GB WebDAV volume at that service level with includes some level of hosting. This may very well mean I can basically stop selfhosting for email, which would be a Good Thing. The aliases also mean that I can transfer all the friend and role addresses over there and I might even be able to do proper groups.

This time, I’m testing the mobile videoblogging service available via blip.tv. It seems like file upload speed to my mail provider from the Treo might be part of the problems I have seen with these attempts.
Crud – the Flickr crosspost just plain failed, and the post to mike.whybark.com appears to have succeeded, but the post format only provides a link instead of a thumbnail linked to the movie asset.
Not only that – but it looks as if the file upload for the video asset is also no good. It took over four tries to upload the attachment, and the handset kept trying to go to sleep while uploading. The final, apparently successful upload took about 10 minutes, much more time than it should have based solely on file size, about a megabyte.
