Travis: Now in Your Bathroom
- The Site Updates, Technology entry posted on February 10th, 2008.
I get literally thousands of emails per hour begging — no, pleading — with me to make an iPhone-optimized interface to Vocino.com.
It goes something like “Oh please Travis, I absolutely can’t live without your content for 10 seconds. I need to check your site from my toilet. For the love of god!@#$” At which point the email quickly degenerates into frantic keyboard mashing and various sad-face emotes.
I couldn’t let this go on any longer.
Readers: I have heard your desperate calls and your needs have no been met.
That’s right! Your Vocino fix is now available by simply visiting vocino.com on your iPhone or iPod Touch. You will be greeted with an optimized layout with minimal imagery and easy-to-touch navigation — specifically, being able to touch the entire post block to visit an article, rather than just a title link.
I worked all of a few minutes on this life-changing experience for you, so there are bound to be some tweaks to come. Hopefully this will hold you over for a while, at least.
Congratulations on being an awesome Vocino.com reader.
iPhoney
Although I have an iPhone, I did find this little app by Marketcircle (the same people that make the very nice Billings) to be helpful. It’s called iPhoney.
iPhoney gives you a pixel-accurate web browsing environment — powered by Safari — that you can use when developing sites for iPhone. It’s the perfect 320 by 480-pixel canvas for your iPhone development. And it’s free.
Pro-tip: Remember to disable your blog caching after turning on the iPhone user-agent.

I don’t know whether these advances in technology are good or not! Writing emails from your toilet? Lol… I’m sure my parents would laugh at that.
