PocketPC Photo Sync Application
I just finished writing an application to upload photos from my phone to my website automatically, and stick them on the right side of the page. I used it as an exercise in learning C# development on the compact (mobile) framework. The IDE is very impressive, and I’m starting to see the benefit of a good development environment over gcc + vi which has been my golden standard for over a decade. I’m not sure if there’s interested in it, but I’ll probably post the application shortly after I make sure that there are no other bugs in it. It works by keeping a local list of files it’s uploaded, and uploading files via an http multipart/form post to a small perl cgi. To make it a bit more robust, I might move away from a list of files to a list of file hashes so that filename changes will not effect the files. It’s also designed to upload any content, not just photos, so it could also be used as a synchronization application.
I’m also toying with the idea of setting up a photo gallery on http://www.reza.net for people to share their photos from their phone. I’m not sure if there is any demand or interest, but I kinda like the idea. I think other sites are doing something similar…
