photo blog test (and a coffee shop view) (updated)
The view from a table in front of the Bishop coffee shop.
Let me indulge in some random geekery: My mobile photo blogging solution has been to take low-res snaps with my Treo 600, which I then "share" via Sprint's picture mail service. I don't particularly like the results, but I'm locked into my provider (mostly by inertia) and disinclined to upgrade my phone. (Sprint doesn't offer the Treo 700w yet in my area and the camera on the 650 doesn't seem like a meaningful of an improvement.)
The workaround displayed above involves taking a better res snap with my Nikon (at 1024; more pixels take forever to upload), swapping SD cards between cam and Treo, mailing snap to Flickr, which automatically blogs and ta da.
The next gambit I intend to try will involve uploading snaps directly to my server from the Treo. (Using movable type? Is that even possible?) Stay tuned for further updates in random wonkery...
update: the browser I'm using on the Treo screws up the MT publishing interface. any suggestions?
