What else is there to do on a wet afternoon than to sit around and try to get the cheap old USB camera to work. Previously it sorta-worked, but gqcam seems to have a habit of flipping back and forth between RGB and RBG, or some combination like that. I end up with some rather colourful, but highly inaccurate, pictures like the one at the left!
The blue house is really rather fetching, but nothing like the rather drab and very English council-house looking 1940’s semi-detached that is the reality. That yellow taupaulin is especially eye-catching too! A shame it doesn’t exist…
webcam, second attempt
Checking back to the last time I fiddled, it looks as though streamer was another option. OK, now I’ve got streamer grabbing an image and imgstamp stamping it, all that remains is to upload it a little more frequently than I have been… Must check with my ISP first.
So there it is, Speed-Hump Cam in all it’s glory!
