AJays Webcams

Some minor housekeeping. I added some new cams and removed links that where no longer valid.

Test 123 

Just giving a go of the seesmic video plugin. Have a Cam? Leave me a shout out in video.

Ok, after working 6 days a week, for several months I had a 2 day Memorial Day holiday to finally make a post, and to add some new web cams to AJayswebcams.com, and even post my new “Garage Cam” on my personal cam site.  It’s an old Power Mac G3 Blue & White, with an equally as old iRez USB Critter Cam. The cam updates every 20 seconds, and has a somewhat crappy photo, but you can make out what is going on…, except when it is night time, then you can’t see crap. Oh Well…, take what you can get sometimes.

Kathy sent me a note saying my cam link @ Noyes Slough in Alaska, was actually in Fairbanks. Thanks for the correction Kathy.

Just updated the links and got rid of the dead wood. I will be adding some new links here shortly…., hopefully. : )

Ok…, I’ve been a slacker the last few months on posting, however, there was good reason.
I was on vacation a lot. That and the fact that it is football season as well. With all that being said, I had been thinking about my blog site in general. I think the lack of a solid story each post, and random musings about what tickles my fancy at that moment have been the non drawing issue. Who am I writing for? Me? Hell, I can talk to my own self at any time. It turns out while I was recently looking over stats on my blog that one of my most popular blog articles was about this dude that was having sex with sheep and got caught. Go figure!
I’m sure with me adding sheep and sex in this blog posting, it too will be a popular post. Who knew that sheep sex was such a popular issue.
I thought it was just a thing in New Zealand. Sorry for any of the Kiwi’s that are offended.
Anyhow, I digress…, When I first started this blog, it was a learning tool for me, as it still is. I really not a daily poster to my blog, however, sometime I feel obligated to have to throw some stuff in, just to justify having it. Anyone else ever feel this way?
So I think I need to focus on a ongoing story line to get people to return. The web-cams are just a bonus attraction to get you here, so maybe I should focus on a subject like….., uhhh, sheep sex. : )
See, i’ve worked sheep sex tag in several times to attract the seekers. he he!
It seems everyone loves these kind of stories.
Take for example this string of tags together…, “man dies horse sex”
Now google it…, my god look at all the articles it spawned.
Anyhoo, I’m predicting that this blog I’m writing here will be my number 1 most viewed after this post, just because I used the words sheep sex, horse sex, man dies.
Stay tuned, I’ll keep you posted on the results.

Ok…, after messing around personally and having UberDesigner and Photogeek.TV host and personality Phil Greenwood mess with the Java Feed from my Evocam Software to the site more times than I care to even discuss here…, I’ve finally given up on trying to make Java video work on my site.
I believe my ISP along with my wireless, ports, and Firewall were all somehow to blame…, of course that’s my story and I’m sticking to it…, yeah, I know that is lame…, want to make something of it? ; )
Anyhow, I have decided to give way to a simpler solution.

Stickam

It’s such a simpler solution to broadcasting video on your site. It may Not have as many frills as the Evocam software solution, but it makes up for it in it’s use of ease and web 2.0 features. If the folks over at Evocam were smart they would find a way to make their software somehow interact with Stickam. They have not done anything major with it in over a year. You Listening guys?

So…, I have a solid video player now that offers streaming video, albeit, it taxes the upload stream heavily, making everything else you do online slow. It offers a photo slide show and a place to add your favorite MP3 for listening. As well a place to store your videos. Of course watching them is like watching paint dry, because it takes forever for the video to download.

So no more excesses about the streaming video not running.

I’ve also added a BETA to my Personal Web Cam.

I’ve installed a Frappr Map that allows you to place yourself on a google type of map and add your city, name, and webpage or cam.
Give it a shot. I’ve found the Beta to be quite a work in progress though. I still can’t seem to upload a photo.

I’ve just got back from holiday, and have multiple things to add to the site. I’ll keep you posted as I add them.
Thanks, AJay
