Yeap, it's still taking pictures, haven't logged into the board in ages, but it still uploaded today. It's running Debian Squeeze, with some 2.6.xx/3.0.x kernel... http://connectivity.digikey.com/outside.jpg Last update as March 10, 2015 2:38PM Probally should go up there and clean off the plastic box, as it's a little hazy.. It's been running since "July 2010"-ish... Same Sd card... Just read only root... with the camera storing the picture in ram/tmpfs before uploading via ftp.. The Solar -> backup batteries design needs a rework, so it really only works on bright days..
