Most useful geek production of the day: a program that sits on my IrDA port, waits for inbound objects, converts them into MIME-formatted mail messages and drops them into my mail spool.
I have a camera phone. The handiest way to get stuff off it is via IrDA. And up until now I had just a nasty hack to dump the beamed data into a file in /tmp. There are other uses, but that's the primary one.
Oh, plus it's linuxy. Windows people have the Wireless Device/Beamed Items folder, and Mac users presumably have some astoundingly beautiful thing that noone else had previously thought of.
It's on my site, in the workshop, like most of the crap I write. I wouldn't want people to feel that it's, you know, a product or anything. It's a hack.
Despite the initial "check it out" factor of the IrDA port, I never really used mine for anything. I'll occasionally zap photos from phone to laptop via Bluetooth, but most of the photos taken with my phone are nothing I want to save for posterity.
