I finally got so sick of Webintellects crappy hosting service that I moved this domain over to Dreamhost. Most of the transition went pretty smoothly, but DH handles mail differently from WI. Before, I used .forward to send my incoming mail through a Perl mail handler built around Mail::Audit. Among other things, this handler handled moblogging by looking for mail sent to a certain address, parsing out the content, saving the image, creating a thumbnail, and posting to WordPress. DH seems to prefer procmail, and rather than re-learn that, I thought I’d take the opportunity to ditch some of my own code and make use of wp-mail. Starting with the work that John Blade did to add image support to wp-mail, I added thumbnailing using wp_create_thumbnail, and — hey presto, I’ve put another few hours into my exercise in web-based narcissism. Here’s my version of wp-mail.php.

My new webhost doesn’t provide the domxml library for PHP, so I hacked up DeliciousPHP to work with PHP’s seemingly more builtin XML Parser functions:

From what I can tell, domxml wasn’t doing anything special in this case, but it may well have escaped me. It seems to work fine though. Thanks again to Dusty for the original code — now my Delicious links are working again!
