A while back when I was gearing up for the STP, I thought it would be cool to update my blog with a picture from my camera. That way I could send pictures during the ride. Then I thought it would be cool if I could send a phone cam picture with an address and have it show a map of where I was. So ended up writing geo-cam to do this.
The funny thing is that I spent a bunch of time writing it the day before the STP and didnt even bother to use it. I had a conversation today that reminded me of it. So I decided to clean it up a bit and post it.
It works like this, I send an email from my phone with a picture, and the address in the message body. I have rule on my mailserver that takes all emails to this email address and feeds them to the shell script which then does the following:
Code is here.
I took the image conversion/thumbnail code from Matt’s phonecam.sh shell script.
This is really just a proof of concept, and I wrote it because I really wanted to use Geocoder.us for something.
BTW, thanks Schuyler for writing geocoder and Matt for phonecam.sh
