What? No magic tricks? No crazy antics?

PS: It’s not refreshing… or else you’re in a coma.

I’m probably in a coma.

Or I forgot to turn it back on after that last reboot…

I wish I could figure out how to make my webcam go live… My friend tried to help me with it, but it didn’t work. :/

If I had time, I’d work on it some. But I’m supposed to be studying for an exam right now. Meh.

you first need a web space you can FTP to. After that, you get the Boroo cam software that I use, and, well, thats pretty much it.

Yes, I know. I have my own website. The program I used is different, though.

Boroo is the smallest, least obrusive, simplest, and most efficient program I’ve ever seen for web cams. It only does one thing, but it does it well. And its completely free.

I used a free program. I did everything my friend told me to do over AIM, but it didn’t work. This summer I’ll have more time to mess with it. *shrugs* Here’s what we had going so far. I’m sure something is/was missing:

That’s his AIM and his page/layout on my server. I have yet to customize it myself. 😛

yeah, I was trying to avoid java based web cams. I specifically wanted one that was entirely HTML and all it did was upload an image. Then I just set the page to refresh so that it reloaded the image about as often as the image was re-uploaded.
