 Prospective new perspective for garden cam... you take your basic 14-foot pole, figure out how to anchor it, figure out how to get the serial port cam on the top, protected from weather, and where to position the computer so the cord reaches... This snap was done with a digital camera, hail-mary style while I perched atop a saw-horse. Piece 'o cake, sort of...Comments 8:18:39 PM

 New Dotcom Garden cam uses the trial version of CoolCam 2.3. So far much better: Oculus caused the PowerBook 2400 to immediately begin issuing Finder 'out of memory' errors (again, not a standard machine at all), and wouldn't go very long without bombing, freezing the machine or uploading 0 KB files (that drive IE browsers nuts...).

 Dotcom Garden view shows how nicely it's grown up. Spent time removing my leaf-miner infestation (beets and chard), putting up supports for tomatoes and the usual maintenance. Really determined to fix garden.cam: Oculus just won't stay up for more than a few hours on the (admittedly) non-standard PowerBook 2400 that runs it (it has an early NewerTech G3 card in it). So, I'm trying to get CoolCam to run... but it's unhappy with a missing QuickTime Lib... if I can find a reliable software package, I think I'll try to move the cam to a more interesting, possibly aerial, view. Sigh, so much to do...Comments 3:51:16 PM
