It was Mr. fooler who did the bash script very quickly hehe. But I'm not really a bash-ful person so I took the ideas and did it in python. That took longer.
There problem is I only have regular Internet access, dynamic addressing etc. I do have a Wordpress blog and there's an FB page for the campaign Switch Off #NoBrownout. You have to tell me what to do next. I have a .png file sitting on my harddisk. How do I get it to your server? A long time ago, I did a python program using http POST. I've forgotten how, but I could learn it again, if that's what it would take. Obet On Mon, 06 Apr 2015 04:17:44 +0000 Danny Ching <dlcco...@gmail.com> wrote: > Wow.
