Get pictures from your phone to your website using the height of 2004
technology!
I've replaced this system with twitter/instagram/etc so don't use it
anymore but am providing it for archival/informational purposes.
FILES
---------------------------------------------------------------
* simple_version.pl: the original version written in 2004.
* camblog.pl: the version I was using up to the time when I decided I'd
be better off with Instagram
* camblog.php: the companion file that reads the image index generated
by one of the above perl scripts and serves the images on your website
REQUIREMENTS

* A cellphone that can take pictures and send them to an email address.
* A web host that provides local mail and procmail capabilities.
