WAP users welcome

At least my lecturer didn’t spend a year teaching us WML for nothing. The one who convinced us that VRML was the future of Internet, and Perl CGIs just about to revolutionize the possibilities of the web Well, at least one of his students made use of his lecture, lecture which was running... not six years ago, but six months ago

Thus I worked a little on a WAP version of this website. If you haven’t read the sarcasm of the previous paragraph, no I’m not a WAP believer Let’s say I was curious about it, and since I’m not a mobile user, the best way to know more about it was to made a WAP website. At least this allowed me to write the most ironical news item: the only personal webpage accessible by WAP made by a webmaster who never owned a mobile. Uh uh!

Unfortunatly mobile terminals aren’t optimal for webpages. So basically the WAP access is a simplified copy of this website, but with fewer links per page, and pages cut into bunches of cards. I heard some newer phones sometimes understand xHTML strict pages, like the ones on this website, but anyway shorter and optimised pages are certainly better

Phone addicts will certainly see on this picture that this is not the latest model (six lines of characters in black&white...), but I can say this is usuable on such devices. Newer large colour screens should be even more readable.

WAP users may connect to this website using the usual http://www.facquet.com or http://facquet.com address. Mobile terminals will be automatically detected and served WML pages.

So the good news is that you can now damage your eyes by reading my idiocies for £1 per minute on a ridiculously narrow 2 inches large screen. Isn’t technology beautiful?
