Flickr Vs. WordPress (SVN): What’s wrong?

26 July, 2007 in Uncategorized by Justin | 2 comments

I’ve noticed lately that whenever I attempt to blog a photo by phone, the post to this blog here fails. It’s getting annoying, despite everything I’ve tried to make it work.

I’ve tried release versions of WordPress. I’ve tried CVS versions. I am trying SVN versions. None of them get the blog posting on the first try, and that’s just totally annoying!
I’m just not sure who to point the blame at, though, because it might be my fault for mostly using CVS and SVN for WordPress, however, I haven’t tried on a non-SVN blog hosted on this domain.

I just wish I had a better way to make sure I could send an image from my Sprint phone and make sure it posts over to this weblog.

I’m also open for suggestions on how to fix my image blogging issue.

I found the solution, Xee… Use the Postie plugin (http://www.economysizegeek.com/?page_id=395) along with a throwaway POP3 account (preferrably one that will recognize your phone’s mobile email address as not spam. Lemme know if you need help getting this) and crontab. It worked for my T-Mobile To Go prepaid cell.

Well… Almost, but not quite, Biafra.
I’ve tried Postie before, but Postie and Sprint’s emails aren’t compatible.

Sprint mails will always put

You have new Picture Mail!
Click Go/View to see now.

into the post, and that’s it.

I got stuck using Flickr, since it actually HAS a parser for Sprint Picture Mail.
