I hadn’t seen it in a long time, and stumbled upon it on Hulu:

Posted via web from jessehammons’s posterous

OK I’m certainly not all that and a bag of chips, but set to roll out in one week for a 565 mile bike trip to LA (over 7 days — I’m not *that* crazy 8-) I wanted to see if there was a nice/cute way to make me:

• take pictures with my ifone
• use the facebook app (to either take a picture or select one from ifone)
• upload to facebook
• have it automatically show up on my site

the first 3 are easy-peasy.  you throw money at the problem and get the ifone with its legendarily crappy cell service and the free facebook app.

for the last point, i searched around wordpress plugins and found “fotobook” plugin (which also comes with two default disabled widgets).

it’s a liddle scary — you login to facebook while it’s “bugging” you, but once you done that (and given it your car keys) it figures out all your photo albums.   you can pick which albums you want to show/hide.   you can login/auth more accounts/people too (but so far I only love myself).  to make my left-hand column “NEW TRACEY PIX” on

my wordpress site

show up, I enabled the “photos widget”, set it to “most recent”, and tweaked the underlying PHP code to make a simple link to my facebook “mobile uploads” public page.

I think there’s an “update all albums” button somewhere, but there’s also simple instruction to “cron a get of url [X]” every X period of time so I did that.  Next, I tested it and “voila!” 5 minutes later, and then a few hours later when Hunter tagged me in some pictures, the left-hand widget updated as if by magic.

I guess this sort of thing excites me.  May be old hat.  I know raj got tikirobot auto-posting the twitter feeds so maybe he’s figured something like this out already too.

neat, no?
