I'll be getting married tomorrow, so there won't be any meaningful tech posts for a few weeks. I've set up a second blog for friends and family to peruse at http://clearsoftware.net/wedding. It's running the Photoblogger extension, I'll try to send some pics from our zip-wiring mountain-hiking/biking bumming about in Whistler, Canada honeymoon.

As I previously posted, I'll be gone for a bit on honeymoon. I'm waiting on permission to distribute a bit of code I reused in the Photoblogger, and hopefully it'll be OK for me to distribute it as soon as I'm back.
If I can't get the OK to distribute the CFC, I'll just rewrite its functionality directly into the Photoblogger script, so it'll be delayed a few days.

We didn't manage to *start* packing until about 12:30AM Friday morning. It's a big undertaking: we've got to pack for the hotel here (Dale for two nights, me for one), then for seven days up in the mountains of British Columbia, then for three days down in Victoria (near Vancouver).

Ok, what better to test the photoblogging than a picture of the wedding site? Here's a pic of where it'll be:

Ok, we've got a little wedding blog up and running, thanks to Ray Camden's blog CFC and a little hacking of my own!

Actually, I wear a suit every [business] day, but I needed to test the scheduled Photoblogger task. I've gotten a few e-mails about it, and have five minutes to kill while something runs, so here's some more info on how it works:
1. No changes to BlogCFC required - it's just an external app that talks to the database, then pings your BlogCFC url to empty its cache.
2. Handles multiple images
3. Automagically thumbnails
4. Doesn't syndicate images, just inserts them into your posts via HTML.
5. Really barebones - all of the config is in the scheduled script.
6. Authenticates and only pulls valid emails from a POP3 box by using a subject line in the following format:
Photoblog|[photobloguser]|[photoblogpassword]|[Title of Post]
7. Your email's body becomes the blog entry, with the thumbnails of any attached files being shown across the bottom.
8. Only does JPGs.
9. Free.
10. Installs in about a minute.
