Eph on the Go
Ever hear of a Moblog? You might think this is another Filipino fancy name mashup, bit it is something a bit more techie in nature. Moblogging is essentially the ability to post something to your blog via a mobile device (in this case my Sony Ericsson s710a camera phone). Most blogging applications have moblogging functionality built in as is the case with my current blogging system Blogger (a.k.a Blogger Mobile). This allows me to create whole blog posts straight from the my cellie. So, in addition to eating and talking on the phone, I can now also add blogging to my list of driving distractions!
What I've wanted to do for the longest time on my old site was to have a photo moblog. Being that I am in the computer programming profession, it was my nature to want to create a custom application to do just that, but alas, my trusted "spidey-sense" a.k.a laziness, kicked in. "Why code this myself, when someone's prolly already gone through all the trouble to do it for me?" As luck would have it, I was able to integrate Flickr (Yahoo's photo's storage service), which also has moblogging built in, with my blog. It was pretty easy to setup and I was up and running in about 20 minutes.
If you look to the right of my blog, you should see a group of pictures entitled "Eph on the Go". This is my brand spanking new photo moblog! I currently have it configured to show the last 5 pictures I've taken on my camera phone, so my apologies if the pictures are kinda mundane as I'm trying to make sure that everything works.
Well, you now have full access to see a day in my life represented through snapshots from my camera phone. Enjoy stalkers!
