I like the idea of the Fish cam I been playing around with, but the problem I see with it is, is it worth the bandwidth. Or should I just set it up so that when I want to see it, it will just send the picture to me, and not constantly update a server.[…]

Well now that I know that it can be done, I just have to figure out how and where to put the fish cam. So now I have to look into buying that software I was testing, and how I want to put this stuff on the net correctly.

Boy, am I glad I had the Home Dir of my Mac box backed up onto my Linux box. After trying that thing I found to try to get the iTunes working again, it toasted my Mac’s file system. I was able to get most of my data back from the back up. For some[…]
