Phonecam v.5

Rob added some features to phonecam.sh, including landscape/portrait detection, style sheet support, and notification. To make it even more shellirific, he’s removed all the awk, sed and expr. Get it here.

Wireless Hack #15

I suppose it’s not ‘breaking news’ or anything, but phonecam.sh is available in real live dead tree!

Go buy a copy of Wireless Hacks. I just got mine, and it’s a damn cool book.

Phonecam v.4

I’ve added some very basic rss support to 16photos, and released the next version of phonecam.sh

Phonecam v.3

I’m now using the phonecam script to publish to 16photos.com, and have made a few formatting changes. I suppose this merits a new version.

Phonecam v.2

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

Phonecam v.1

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.
