  • Well. I've just gone a little techno-nuts by rigging this web-cam thingy to feed live ten second bursts of stills to my Xanga page.


    The first problem is that unless you have a version of Internet Explorer, you won't see it.  Netscrape can't handle the cascade of dynamic html involved.  But you still could go here.  Of course, with Netscrape, you won't see my LiveJournal insert or my Xanga Tetris link insert or my whorling galactic center black hole tunnel, either.  hrmmm.  Maybe, it's a blessing!


    Second problem is that with so many feeds (see above) from contingent servers, if one of them goes down, then that dependent content fails and this page may load slower.  So is there nothing like all eggs in one basket?


    Third problem is now that I set up a cam thingy, peeps might expect to see me anytime.  But I can't be *there* all the time--just mostly early morning, late evenings.  (But I am going to take it on the road and see how it works via satellite uplink--mobile cam--ha.)


    So I'm just trying to keep the envelope bulging by pushing it.  But now that all the sane stuff is out of the way, perhaps it's time for something crazy?


    Or maybe I should just get back to good plain old blogging once again?
