So, I can apparently connect to the internet using bluetooth-enabled phone as a modem, as well, which opens up my options even further. We temporarily upgraded to the unlimited data package, so it won’t cost an arm and a leg to do this on the phone. It’s really slow, and disconnects rather spontaneously, so I don’t know if a flickr upload will be possible via phone. But it’s an option.
this is very similar to how i’ve done the webcam all these years, except with a wireless connection between the computer and phone instead of a hard link. so you’ll probably be able to do some uploads if you’re patient.
