OK. just spitting images to a webpage wasn’t really a cool hack. I’ve done a bit more work on phonecam.sh and the output is a lot better now.
What’s changed?
- Pages do not show up until a user specified number is reached. you can change this of course, but this is the way I wanted it.
- Images in the queue are counted and displayed until the user specified number is reached. The latest addition to the queue is shown.
- Images are displayed in reverse chronological order
- Images are no longer 1.jpg, 2.jpg, but are stored as epochseconds.jpg
- Rather than just output to an html page, pages are created as .txt
for inclusion in the main index.shtml.
- Archives are kept (although not pretty at this point) and linked from
the front page.
- less hardcoding

It’s not quite a moblog, but if you simply want to update your webpage with an email-enabled camera phone, phonecam.sh should work for you. It’s a simple shell script based off of this roadcam.

I was on #wireless and someone pasted an article chunk. This bit caught my eye.
Yet Wi-Fi networks, known as hot spots, have popped up faster than fleas on a circus dog. Thousands of do-it-yourselfers worldwide have rigged antennas to create their own hot spots. They’ve joined together to form networks so that the public can zap e-mails and surf blogs for free, no matter where they are. From street corners in Sydney to mountaintops outside Seattle, some 5,000 free hot spots have emerged. This is Wi-Fi Nation. More than 18 million people worldwide have logged on, and the numbers are growing daily.

While I was at E-Tech, I got to hang out with an impressive table of FreeNetworkers. One conversation that I just couldn’t pass up was between the mappers and application junkies of the movement.
Yuri Gitman, a game designer and producer of NodeRunner. Jo Walsh, an RDF fan, and creator of spacenamespace, a semantic mapping project sort of like a mud or a moo, but with jabber bot interface. Schuyler Erle and Rich Gibson, NoCat Maps hackers. None of them had met, but all of their work meshed. It was interesting to see the lightbulbs.
Ideas were everywhere at the conference, but I got to witness a spark that is becoming NodeRunner London in RDF
