WEBCAM SPOTTED

++ WEBCAM SPOTTED. at jay's house. in jay's room. thats right. he now has a webcam. or rather an isight. no, he has not given in to the evils of apple and mac, but yes he did by another apple product. he is not a traitor. please don't call him that. the new isight is not really a webcam. its more a video conferencing meant to be used with others who have purchased the way too expensive camera. to turn it into sort of a webcam i had to use a third party software in order to capture images. every 4 seconds it captures an image and uploads it to my website. then i have a webpage which automatically refreshes every 5 seconds, so in theory there is a new picture every 5 seconds. but i'm not quite sure what the problem is, but it doesn't always load up the picture. maybe the jpg is too large or something or the network isn't fast enough. i'm not quite sure. anyway, i got it up and running in a few hours of messing around with it and i'm pretty stoked. i do notice however that its pretty boring. its probably more cool to visit cornell's website of our studio, university of cincinnati senior architecture studio, pod 3. said.uc.edu/students/cornelmg/portfolio/webcam.html ++
