I will soon (hopefully, if they ever release the damn thing) be getting a phone with a camera. The camera is fairly crappy, but most cameraphones are. Anyway, I figured I would jump on the bandwagon, like some other people, and set up a photoblog/moblog. I like the word photoblog better, especially since it’s not just going to be for pictures from the phone.

I set one up at textamerica and played with it for a while, and then decided I really wanted one that integrated with the rest of this site, instead. I needed an easy way to post to it from the phone, so I hacked together (using MovableType’s Perl API) a script that lets me e-mail a passworded address, and it’ll take the image attachment and post it. Since I didn’t create a new blog, and didn’t want all the individual blog or photoblog pages to link to eachother, I also had to hack around the fact that MT doesn’t have an MTEntryNextInCategory tag. They should really do that, because my archive pages are now a huge mess of PHP.

Anyway, the photoblog can be found here. I don’t expect I’ll be posting to it all that much until the GSM Treo 600 is released. I won’t even attempt to make a prediction as to when that will be.

Look Mom!
See what I’ve done? The side bars (just left for now) are collapsable, and not in the stupid way that the blogrolling is collapsable… It actually doesn’t transmit the data if it doesn’t need to, meaning an even quicker download…
