web cam jam
The web cam is not having
a very good time lately. It basically doesn't update correctly. It seems
to be blind; it loses track of daylight (the only time it is supposed to
update is during daylight) and it randomly gets stuck re-uploading the
same image over and over.
Options:
1. Replace computer. The system running the web cam is a four-year-old
iBook. I'm not inclined to spend a lot on a computer that's only task is
to sit in a closet by a window and upload photos to the server.
2. Replace camera. It's an Apple iSight ($150 each) and it might be worth
it to try a different one.
3. Give up on the web cam and try some other kind of online experiment.
Web cams, afterall, were a novelty in 1999.
Something to sleep on, which is what I'm going to go do now.
