| Live webcam feed
Fixed up an old laptop and found an old webcam in my closet, and here are the results. I plan to get a little better cam since it's an extra computer and is in the bar, I can leave it running non-stop. Whatcha think? http://www.stickam.com/au01st |

| Too bad the video player won't load from my computer at work...
I wonder how it looks on an iPhone or other 3G phone? | |

| Alright, hopefully picking up a new webcam tonight. I think I'm going with the Microsoft VX-6000 (way overkill I know) which has crazy resolution, like 1200x800 or something, vs. the 320x240 the current cam has, so hopefully there will be some much better video tonight. | |

| New camera is up and running. Looks much better. I'm still wondering if I can find somewhere closer to mount it. | |

| That's cool. Checking out your fish while you're away at work. Or using it as a screen saver. (sort of) | |

| That's really cool, though I'd like to see it larger. Does Stickam (or whatever it's called) have a way to view something full-screen?
Also, you must have just walked in front of it, because there was a creepy, Resident-Evil-like shadow that passed right in front of the camera.  | |

| Haha, I think they have a way, but I don't know it. Yeah, I'm walking around trying to clean the house a bit before I go to work. | |

| Negative, Ghost Rider. Working 40+ hours a week and being a full time student means I barely get time to clean my own house. That, and one of my roommates is pretty disgusting. He actually had to go to the hospital last night for, guess what? STAFF INFECTION!
ROFL!!!!! His room is disgusting and I'll probably have to sterilize it when he moves out in May.
Side not, I think I may be able to set up some kind of shot that shows through the side of the tank from up close, but nothing from the front. The tank is in a cutout in the kitchen where a dining table would normally go, so not much in the front except for empty walking space. The camera is mounted to the wall. The other thing is I don't really want the side view because it will pretty much show my living room as well. I don't mind the tank being on camera 24/7, but I don't want to be.
