WML/HDML/MML and me; Argh!

Recently I’ve wanted to send some new data to my rather cheap mobile phone.

It was represented to me as supporting WML 1. Guess what? It doesn’t. This sent me looking for a prerolled system – since I honestly don’t even know where to start, I was hoping to find something.

I did. It’s called HAWHAW!. While reminding me of Nelson, from the Simpsons, laughing at me for undertaking such a silly project, this HAWHAW framework is pretty stable – and it’s GPL. My old system was hard-coded WML 1. I never bothered to learn HDML, or MML – and trying to parse the phones’ abilities would drive me insane.

So far, I’ve put up a small test framework that I can toy with, and finally get my pictures and ringtones onto my Nokia 6010. I hope.
