Webcam fun
Lately I have been playing around with some webcam tools. I have to cams, a Logitech Quickcam and a Micro-Cam Cool i-cam. I have one set up so far, and I am running the TinCam program which features a timestamp, and FTP program to autoload the pictures up to a website. For this project I set up an Angelfire page because they are free and allow FTP uploads. The picture is updated every 5 minutes and am using a Java applet that should reload the page every 1.5 minutes.
