It may be a little known fact that Japanese hospitals and clinics will keep you prisoner for a week after you give birth. Contrary to popular speculation Japan is very low tech in some regards. One of these is that not only does my clinic not have wifi or internet connection - but it seems highly likely I won’t even be allowed a laptop!! Shocking I know!

So my only link to the outside world will be via keitai/mobile phone and message texting until I escape. So I might as well have fun with it.

Still some things to tweak here - jquery png fix is stuffing up for you IE6 users - but the basic functions work so I can blog from my phone even if I go into labour in the next 10 minutes…

Yeah well it’s not as even if I have the latest coolest keitai either - the camera is only 3.2 megapixels!

So will communication be two-way? Can you see comments?

Yes - I will be running the content through a mobile phone friendly template so I can access from my phone.

Mind you - there will be some times when I won’t be checking - so you guys don’t need to “breath with me” as such. Feel free to do that on your own of course.

But you’ll have an IRC client on your phone, right? Right?
