Snap>Screencap>Load'o'crap?


Snap>Screencap>Load'o'crap?
Originally uploaded by Boczkowski
I have been thinking about ditching the index cards and only using my
pda for the 'to do list', the 'shopping list', the 'ideas I had on the
toilet and don't want to forget list' and all the other crap, such as a
backup conduit for the Neo I'm currently using to not really write a
novel on (ahem).

Anyway, there should be two images attached to this email.
Two images of the same thing, a screen from my pda's notebook facility.
I want to see what they look like.
One was taken using a program called Snap, the other via the Palm
Desktop sync software.

The benefit of the Snap s/ware is that I can take pictures of any
screen, such as the agenda or calendar, and post that instead of an
index card.
Same with the notebook thingy, I can post that up too.

Snap captures images as BMP and Palm Desktop attaches them to emails as PNG.

Let's see what works best 'eh?

#update# I sent an email with three images attached, the text is below, it failed in the sense that all three images appeared here as individual posts with the same text-not what was intended. Looks like the way forward is to email bulk images to Flickr only and then click 'blog this' from there....

"
Hmm, it seems Flickr doesn't 'do' bitmaps.
I have to change the image extensions from bmp to jpg or png.
Which is nice.
Another step.
Bach file renamer downloaded.
Job done.

Three images attached, all jpg renamed from bmp, just to see if it can
handle multi-jpeg posts.
Or can I send only one at at time?

I am guessing one at a time and that this email will fail..."
