Post Photos to Your Drupal Site from the iPad
Over on my personal blog, I write about how to post photos from the iPad to ImageFields on a Drupal site. I intend to do so quite a bit this weekend on my visit to New York City (this will be my first trip without a laptop—yikes!).
I basically use Dropbox as a middleman to get a URL for the photo, which I can pass to FileField Sources so my Drupal site can use the photo. Unfortunately, for the time being, Mobile Safari doesn't support file select fields :-(

What does the iPad have to do with anything open source?
Well, it's less the iPad being open source than the fact that so far, mobile safari (and, indeed, most mobile web clients) doesn't support file select fields. So what are those of us in web dev to do when we need to post photos from our phones, iPads, Android tablets, etc?
For Wordpress blogs, there's a specific app (at least for the iPhone) for posting from mobile devices. But most sites don't have this luxury, so there need to be alternate methods of getting photos from the road onto your open-source-software-driven website :)
Advancing the faith.
