It’s been a big and busy couple of weeks, and amongst building a new website, moving to hosted exchange, and a whole bunch of other stuff (more blog posts to follow) I’m also planning a roadtrip.  The road trip is about ~1200 kilometers (or 750 miles) from Brisbane to Sydney via a couple of scenic detours.  The round trip should take me about a week.

A nice little detour outside Byron Bay This trip should come to you live, uncut an uncensored, because I plan to get the bike to plot my progress as go along.  This has been on my bucket list for months, but haven’t had the time to make it happen =)

Enough jibber-jabber, here is where I am at:

  • After an unfortunate mistake, I have a new phone, it is the HTC TyII (with a GPS), it should have been a HTC Touch Pro - but alas I got raw end of a bad deal; Oh well, a lesson learned.
  • My new phone is going to need juice for the trip, so I’ve already bought a Car Charger, and fitting an accessory line to the bike.
  • I’ve also got a 8Gb memory card, full of music for the trip (my bike helmet is already blue tooth equipped)
  • I’m still building a bracket so the phone/camera can sit behind the windshield; I have a bad feeling it may require drilling holes.
  • Hopefully I’ll be able to easily take photos tagged with location; whatever I use, it will have to be clean and simple.
  • I’ve also sorted my TwitPic account and BrightKite account as well
  • After looking at a few options, I think I’ve settled on Inca-X, as the brains in the phone for this.

Hopefully I can pull this all together and somehow get an autotwitter, photo (no video) and update of my last know location as I drift in and out of data coverage.
