Look who’s joined the ranks of the attention whores and amateur pornographers! Me! Woo!

Seriously you guys! Pay attention to me!

Attention Whore Arne!

Actually, I bought it so I can set up a chickencam. I figured I’d do the setup, testing, and tweaking indoors, before adding the extra complications of weather into the mix. So far, I’ve got my linux box (Ubuntu FTW!) able to see the camera and take pictures manually. Still to figure out:
- How to take pictures automatically, say every 30 seconds.
- How to upload (FTP, I assume) those pictures automatically.

If I knew how to write a shell script I think this’d be an easy to trivial problem. Yay for learning linux!

Never mind. I just found webcam, a program to do exactly what I need. Now I just need to figure out how to configure it…:-D Happy Monkey!
