Camphone Thread
WELCOME TO THE CAMPHONE THREAD. In this thread we are sending in the pictures from our phones to the Internet.
Here's how you do it. OK? Note that the following instructions, while complicated-looking, aren't really complicated. They're not so intuitive, however, that you can follow them without reading them.
1. Register
In this step, you need to tell the system who you are and what phone you use. Use your phone to send an email to cam [AT SIGN] linkswarm.com with the word register in the subject. In the body of the email, put your username and a password like so...
For purposes of screenshotting, we're pretending your phone uses Outlook for email. (It probably doesn't, unless you're Meta.) Here we see swarmer WilliamSBurroughs wants to register his camera phone. He wants the password meepemeepa, which makes sense, right? Now, pick a password you'll be able to type in easily from your phone, cause you'll need to send this password in with every picture you email. Why? Because email is meep. So ole WSB didn't pick a real great password -- I would have used a couple numbers, personally, because this doesn't need to be super secure -- but Bill takes his password policy very seriously, so whatever.
OK, so you send this registration email off from your phone.
Now, on to the good part.
2. Emailing pictures
Use your phone to take a picture of something, and email it to cam [AT SIGN] linkswarm.com. Subject doesn't matter. Save yourself typing and don't use one. In the body of the email, the first word needs to be the password you registered, like so...
Here's Mr. Burroughs sending in a picture of something. The password he chose in step 1 is the first word in the message. This will meet with success.
3. Optional text
When the system gets your email, if the second word starts with 'qq', this text will be tacked on to the bottom of your post.
i expect this part to be among the parts that haunts me forever, much like the rest of the parts. Anyway, here we see WSB sending in some text. Looks like he's been hanging around schoolyards again.
4. The end result
Your photo will be posted to this thread under your username. In the future, if there's enough support for it, I'd like to figure out a way to let you control whether the photo gets posted to this thread, or a journal entry of your own. For now, this meep is goofy enough that I'm Keeping It Simple Stupid.
OTHER QUESTIONS:
Update: No longer sending confirmation mails when you mail in a picture. No one seemed to need them, and they're probably kind of annoying. You should get an email confirmation to your initial registration mail, however.
Mail is grabbed on the system every 60 seconds.
if you're having problems registering, let me know. I may have to do it for you manually. Wrecker's phone's email client, for example, has no Subject field. It'll take me 14 seconds so don't be shy.
if you're having other problems, let me know. Cell carriers are rapturously maverickal so I expect this to be full of glee.
If you need a camphone password reset, let me know. There's no automated way to do that yet.
No, this won't work with SMS. You want to help me figure out a way to take advantage of a free SMS gateway that will pass MMS messages with a high rate of success, please step to this meepa.
If your phone doesn't do email, I'm sorry, but currently you are meeped. Enjoy being the castout.
If you have problems or questions, post them to this thread. I'll probably take long-winded support experiences offline, but in general I figure this is kind of wierd meep and will confuse peeps and they may benefit from your stupidity being exposed publicly.
If you have retarded comments to make about photos in this thread, post those comments to this thread, just like anything else.

Poor nig on the corner down the street from my house has been trapped in some sort of freaking time vortex for the past 3 years. I know he's not dead because occasionally he switches out his signs.

Cool. That may be true, I don't know the specifics. Just don't ride to far before you get it checked.

I read that with these cones (mostly on choppercharles.com), the jets are usually ok, but I will take this in to get done by someone more skilled than me once I get it back together.

You may even need to up the jet sizes somewhat.

Just watch your mixtures with that set-up LK. It might run a little lean with that much airflow, and I am sure you don't want any burnt valves.

Not yet bro, looking to rig an electric fan behind the rad (thx for your advice btw), it is fine without it until you idle in traffic for 30 min.
Ripped the airbox from under the seat, going to mount conefilters right on the carbs, chopping all the meep off the back end, picked up an ammo box to weld off the back to it as a light and plate mount as well as a handy trunk thinger. Replacing the seat with a low handmade pan seat, the gaybars with some mini-apes, might rig an old metal oil can where the airbox was to house the battery and wiring and meep.
Basically I want an "Imma gonna stab you in the gizzard for your loot" madmax ratbike.
I'm taking lots of pics to make a thread about it soon, the wing lets me ride this season without trying to beat the clock and finish the bike before it's ready for all its meep glory. The Ratbike will also let me have a loaner bike for a certain meepface who doesn't ride his any considerable distance (:>>>>>>>>>>). It will also let me instil phear in people without testies.

We get them from gray to brown and even some with an orange tinge to them. This guy is about average in build, some are fatter, some are more spindly, but he is on the smaller side overall.

Sure is. Just a small one for here.
@LordKahuna
I just remembered (well, my girlfriend remembered), CX's also have thermostat problems occasionally. If you haven't found any leaks at the back of the motor (water-pump) check for a seized thermo, under the top hose connection pipe in the "V", if I remember correctly (I haven't changed one for 30 years or so).

That is a typical CX problem. I have seen at least half a dozen like that. The better news is that they cope fine without it, even in an Aussie summer. If it is overheating, check for a coolant leak at the water-pump, they have a ceramic-faced seal that will wear out or leak if it gets a bit of meep under it. I had one once that just had a speck of the special grease that goes on them on the face, and it leaked like a sieve. Four+ hours work to get the motor out and the pump apart, give it a wipe and put it back together. It was a mates bike and he had just had the seal renewed by the Honda shop, and I had to fix it two days later.
