Geo Caching is a crazy location based treasure hunt of sorts! People place small containers out in the wilderness and register it with geocaching.com and others go and find it. They are hidden literally everywhere all over the world!

The php script wouldn't do much since latest.jpg doesn't exist :)
Here, add a second line under the curl line I suggested earlier:
curl -T /.locateme/images/taken/$datetime.jpg -u $USER:$PASS $BASEURL/latest.jpg

doing an ftp upload via curl would be an easy modification to the go.sh script:

Change:
/usr/bin/curl -u $USER:$PASS -F uploadedfile=@/.locateme/images/taken/$datetime.jpg $BASEURL/

to:
curl -T /.locateme/images/taken/$datetime.jpg -u $USER:$PASS $BASEURL

And also change $BASEURL in locateme.conf to something like ftp://mywebhost.com/uploaddir/

The only thing that you'll miss out on is where the php script symlinks the latest image to latest.jpg, but it would at least get the file out to the server!

It is in the directory named .locateme (with the '.' on the front). Files/folders in unix/osx that start with a '.' are hidden so they won't show up in Finder, but they are there. If you follow the step-by-step instructions, it should work!

If you hand solve the 6 letters that spell BERLIN based upon the keyed vigenere cipher with the same alphabet as the first two parts that would be the 6 letters that would match. If the answer is something like the same cipher but done twice the letters would be wrong but in the same place for the second decryption.

Ha! Indeed! That was a great day :)

Great catch! I've updated the tgz file so anyone else who downloads it will benefit from your find!

Which part do you think isn't working? Does it take pictures and place them in /.locateme/images (either its send or taken subfolder)? You won't be able to browse to the /.locateme folder directly from Finder since it is a hidden folder, but you can get there by choosing "Go"->"Go to Folder ..." from the menu in Finder.

If you look through my server-side code, you'll see that I make a call out to api.hostip.info to get a rough idea of where the machine is based upon source ip. It is fairly accurate. I was debating about using a service that returned the gps coordinates, but didn't think it would be very accurate because it wasn't taking into consideration BSSIDs of networks physically near by like the iphone or ipod does!
