As you may have noticed, the lightboxes on the photos posted from my phone are currently borked… Unfortunately blogger.com (provided by google) is the blogging service my phone is tied to, and so I have had to put together a bunch of trixy hobbit scripts to fetch posts as they are made from the blogger account and repost them (inc inline images) into precariouspanther.net which is a Wordpress powered blog. Problem being, the full sized image is blocked from being hotlinked from the blogger page, and in a rather unpleasant way that makes it difficult to simply curl grab a copy to proxy locally. SO. I’ll have to put together a script to parse the hotlink result from blogger and automatically cache a copy of the image locally and subsequently update the original posting with the new local URL.

Anywho, until then I’ll disable the light-boxes so that the images just link directly to the blogger hosted copy. Sorry for the ugliness!
