Flickr
As you’ve probably noticed, I’ve been playing around with posting images from my Treo 600 via Flickr. I used to occasionally post things via email on the phone using mfop2, back in the days when I used Movable Type. I got out of the habit because I dropped the GPRS package; I just wasn’t using it enough to justify the cost. But I missed taking spontaneous photographsâthe camera on the Treo is pretty bad, but at least I carry it around all the time. However, another slight snag prevented me from taking more pictures with it, apart from the dodgy quality. With Palm Desktop on a Mac, there was no easy way (apart from emailing them) to get the images off to the phone and on to my Mac. That piece of the puzzle has been solved now, as I’ve got Missing Sync 4.0, which lets you mount the SD card of the phone on the desktop, and then just drag files on and off it in the usual way.
Seredipitously, this coincided with finding out about Flickrâan online gallery space in which you can share your photos with others. Flickr also lets you upload photos by email and/or post them to your blog, which is what I was attempting to do yesterday (more on that later).
