MMS Photo Blog Now Working

As you can see from the last few stories, I now have my MMS photo blog working. I'll be posting up fuller details of how it works later.

Basically, it's written in perl. It's linked into a mail server, so when a certain email address recieves the emailed MMS message from my phone, it parses it, extracts the picture and text and inserts it into my blog, regenerating the relevant pages on the way.

I've only tested it with my Nokia 7250 phone, on the Orange network, but as you can see, it works! Orange always put some advertising bumpf in the MMS message, so the extractor has to detect and remove that.

The only downside is it could work out damn expensive. Orange charge 40p per MMS message.
