The view out my window….live.
I’ve been playing with a webcam lately and finally figured out how to stream video from it to the web. Eventually, I will probably do some art this way, but for now it’s pointed out the window which looks like I am in prison with the barbed wire around the water tower…lol.
The image to the left is a static screenshot, but click it to go to the live streaming webcam.
It’s hard to find freeware to do this that is…well, free. I hit about 100 different supposed freeware options before I finally found Yawcam which allowed me to do this.
So for now, enjoy the view out my window
NOTE: The cam almost always initially says “offline” but just give it a few seconds and it will queue up.
Update:This has been erroring out, so there is no guarantee that it will be on at any given time (at least till I find another computer to use as a dedicated server).

actually, it became too cloudy… I didn’t want to depress anyone so it’s pointed at my desk area now.
