Live Webcam

Thursday October 19, 2006 at 9:14 AM

Over the past few days its been cold and rainy and snowy out here. Yesterday we woke up to about two inches of snow (yay!), but most of it’s gone now.

Anyway, back in July I ran across an eBay auction for a cheap webcam, and picked it up with the idea I would start a live webcam when I finally had high-speed Internet. Well, here it is! :) This is the view out over Michael Grove looking west. It should update every 10 seconds, and is also being archived so I can make some cool time-lapse video later. Here are some interesting links for the project:

Right now there is a dedicated Windows 2000 computer that captures and archives images from the webcam. It uploads to an Ubuntu Apache server, which is then port-forwarded through my Qwest DSL modem to the world.
