Craig Gingell Posted April 27, 2004 Share Posted April 27, 2004 Hello,During the 10CR event last year, we managed to hook up an SMS text message diary on the Canley Classics website -http://www.canleyclassics.com/10cr.asp?topic=diaryI think everyone will agree that the SMS text messaging was a great success, allowing friends and family back home to keep up to date with everything going on during the event.This year we're looking to offer a similar setup for the RBRR. In addition, there's the possibility of photo messaging. Messages and pictures sent during the event will automatically update an onsite diary and gallery. How many entrants have a photo messaging phone and are likely to use it during the event?Comments, questions, ideas and suggestions welcome.RgdsCraig Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Deleted User Posted April 27, 2004 Share Posted April 27, 2004 Yes my co driver Ben has one,would be a top idea! but expect more messages than on the 10cr as many more entrants etc! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GigGleR Posted April 27, 2004 Share Posted April 27, 2004 Yup, I have an S-E T610 so I can do that if you want. Of course as we approach Lands end fatigue may make my pictures a little..... blurred :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jason Posted April 28, 2004 Share Posted April 28, 2004 Dave has one but actually knowing how to use it would be a bonus! I think I'll have to get the manula off him and have it in the car, by the time we finish we may have figured it out! As I like my toys, I'll have the mission control laptop (now with GPS and moving map) plus a GPRS phone that I hope will work - so maybe we can upload normal digi pictures taken with a stand alone digi camera?Then again we may just have a pile of redundant technology that we can use to play patience on!

Chris Posted April 28, 2004 Share Posted April 28, 2004 Heheh, that's my collection by the way - and it's grown since then - 26 bottles now, and no 2 the same... :) Haven't tried Badger Fursty Ferret yet though...Yeah, James was right - my phone does take video too - but only at a resolution of 176x144 pixels. Better than nothing, I suppose... :-/Chris. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tim Bancroft Posted September 4, 2004 Share Posted September 4, 2004 Actually thinking about it, will Keith, Craig, Jason, James and Ellis have time to do any driving!Also have you upgraded your alternators? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
James Posted September 4, 2004 Share Posted September 4, 2004 I was planning on recording the whole event time lapse style - but I won't be able to afford a laptop in time.FYI my alternator is a 70amp beast... :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jason Posted September 4, 2004 Share Posted September 4, 2004 These things take very little juice to run - you can run a lot from a cigarette lighter socket :-) I recently saw a kettle that plugs in to 12v supply, that was ambitious enough but then I saw the hairdryer! Anyway, you've got to have some toys to play with on the way, there's only so much scenery I can stand :-)What sort of lapto do you need James, I have some spares but most are old and don't have USB or type 2 pc slots to take a USB card Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
