Two questions: * How long did it take you, start to finish? * Did you just snap pictures as you rode, and the iPhone took care of the rest, or was posting them to LJ more complicated than that?
Start to finish was roughly 11:25:00. The timestamps on the pictures are my best way of keeping track - the picture I took at the starting line (about 5-10 minutes before I actually left) was timestamped 6:19am, and the last picture (about five minutes after I arrived) was at 5:55pm.
That surprises me a little bit. I did absolutely no training this year -- practically my only riding this year was the 8-9 mile round trip between Arlington and Kendall Square -- and expected to see my trip time suffer. But it looks like this year's ride only took me 10-15 minutes longer than when I did it two years ago.
I mailed the photos to Flickr to post them to LJ. Flickr allows you to create an e-mail address specifically for copying photos to a blog, which I'd already done. So posting was a matter of: take picture, tap the photo album icon, tap the "send" icon, start typing the Flickr blog address, select the autocomplete address, type a subject and maybe a little caption text, hit "send". Not bad but not fully automatic.
There's also a LJ client for the iPhone that allows posting pictures directly to LJ without going through Flickr. I didn't use that in this case because I actually wanted them to show up in Flickr photo pools as well.
