I’ve used IRC from the wii, it wasn’t pretty…

What gets me is the autocomplete.

Why is the second suggested opetion for words beginning k– “Kleenex”

I mean, why?

I was able to type a bit with the Wii. What I didn’t like was there is a text limit on there. I typed two paragraphs before I was stopped. I could not add more to it because it is a text box. Everytime I click on it, it won’t let me type more. It is quite annoying.

Hmm… Dasher would be great with a Wiimote.

[...] Andy Skelton reports on blogging on WordPress with the Wii and he says it’s not pretty: WordPress works pretty well but don’t expect to write a quick post-typing by aiming a remote at an on-screen keyboard is not even in the ballpark of quick-and forget about formatting. [...]

I’m glad to hear that Ajax is working, it hasn’t been on my site for comments. Another clue I should pick-up a javascript 101 manual.

It seems like Dasher would be a perfect input method for the Wii. Is there any way to get it on there?

Anything that requires large amounts of typing is a pain — but I’m still pleasantly surprised at how well the Wii browser works. It’s somewhat unstable (being beta and all), but for quick browsing, it’s really quite nice.

It would be very nice if there were a Bluetooth/USB keyboard — but then again, if you’re blogging from a Wii, you’re probably missing the point…

I can’t imagine typing like that at all. Just imaging all the mistakes you’d make! Video game machines have too many features that are completely unnecessary. Besides, if you can afford a Wii, chances are, you have a computer too. And computers are much more efficient.

@Robin – you don’t have a unisex name, you have a girl’s name.
