Sent but not Received

Sent but not Received

The above photo, "Telephone Poles", was sent to Flickr on Sat. 4/14/07 in the evening, but never received.

I have been having a problem this week between Cingular's mobile network and Flickr. I send photos (via MMS or email) from my phone, I receive confirmation that they are sent, I am charged, but the photos never show up on Flickr.

As a test, I have also sent photos this last week to my Vox account via MMS or email from my phone and they are received about half the time and show up on my Vox account.

Is the problem Cingular's network? But why would it not like Flickr the last week and like Vox half the time?

And to top it off, Cingular's network is working like a charm in North Carolina where I am right now for business. I have sent several test emails to Flickr and Vox and both are showing up on my account directly after sending them from my phone.

Cingular - WHY, oh WHY, do you have such shitty service in one of the biggest markets in the country (LA/OC)????

Oh, Flickr - WHY, oh WHY, do you seem to have massages when I am sending photos? They don't show up in my photostream but Cingular still charges me.

Vox - What are you doing right in moblogging interface land that Cingular and Flickr aren't?

Is this an issue of Cingular and Flickr not playing well together? As I said, it just started in last week. Has it been solved now or will I be able to moblog happily in North Carolina but when I return to SoCal I will be up a creek again?

I love sending photos from my phone to websites. I love moblogging. I am at Flickr because up to this point they have made sending photos from my phone to Flickr a very easy set of steps.

Frustrated.

  • Preach it, brother! - "I don't do much of anything that elicits the response: 'I never saw a white man do that. Good for you. Your people must be so proud.'" - Milton on white man's burden.

    Unique bird of the day: Saw a crow pulling a part a small hawk on top of a rusted metal oil pump/rig in Long Beach today.  Was wondering if the hawk was dead or alive when the crow got it? Due to driving by at 45 mph, did not take a photo.

    Thomas Hawk on PhotoWalking: I may not agree with TH on all his points, but here is very good guide on how to take daily photos everywhere you go.  The main point is to take a camera with you at all times, big or small, and take photos.

    The SixtyOne:  The Music version of Digg. Have you used it? Added songs or got inspired by SixtyOne?

    SVN: While I hate SubVersion with a passion, C. Michael Pilato has been kind enough to put up a pdf version of his O'Reilly book online.  I will try to reconcile myself with SVN.  Maybe.  Maybe not.  Darn it all, I like FTP!
  • How Windows Users are Conditioned: Tom Negrino sums up: "It was like a tire puncture or something; just one of those things that happen. And that's what I find so pernicious about Windows. It's conditioned tens of millions of people to the idea that computers are unreliable and a huge pain in the ass. And that things that go wrong just can't be helped."

  • Ben Brown on why he quit Facebook: "I don’t want the Internet to be the bastard child of basic cable and Walmart. I want the Internet to be something better, where control of the media really is democratized and where I can truly find content and services that are crafted with me and people like me in mind."  (Ms. Jen says - Preach it, brother!)
