I just went to the root page of this site and found the following gem:

I hate school; and I'm a computer, writing code.

more camera stuff

April 09, 2001 by Eric Richardson

So today I adapted my old camera.jpg stuff to make a server-side script to use with geCam and put it online. Click on live to see pictures, albeit not live. Right now they update when I click the button.

geCam

Tonight I had the urge to break my GTK skills out, so I decided to take a break from eThreads and write something interesting. I ended up with geCam, a Perl/GTK webcam client. I plan on bringing back a new incarnation of the webcam soon, and geCam will power it. It's powered by Gtk-Perl and Imlib2_Perl, for those of you who care. Next comes superimposing captions onto the image. Imlib2 should make that easy, though.

C64

This afternoon I was sitting here at the computer, bored as usual, so I decided to fire up VICE. I've proceeded to spend most of the rest of the afternoon on old C64 games I found at LEMON. My first forays into computing were right here playing Summer Olympics.

Now if only I could find a copy of GEOS for the C128 and remember how to get into adventure under C/PM, my nostalgia trip would be complete. — Continue Reading...
