basic remote monitoring

here's my code for a basic remote monitoring application. if you send a text message to an mms-enabled phone running this script, the mms-enabled phone will get a gps location fix and then take a picture with the camera and auto-reply with an mms including hte current picture and gps coordinates. great for....just about nothing practical! but, good basics for developing something more useful. if you have an unlimited data plan it might be better to http post this stuff online somewhere w/ coords & image for remote surveying, maybe with a timer? have fun playing. the .py file is attached below..click the linkzzz.
