Webcams

Is anyone else frustrated with the webcams? I hate this "The webcam has reloaded 3 times, would you like to keep refreshing the webcam every 10 seconds? " YES!!! If I didn't, would I still be at the web page??? Then when I go back to the page later in the day, I can't see the view, I see the same question. grrrrrrr. I think they need to get rid of the question and just let it keep reloading.

I do find it slightly annoying. I just want to be able to let it run and check on it every so often, especialy when they start putting up the track and supports.

You could make your own web page that pulls the images and refreshes as often as you wish. That works fine for me. As long as you do not distribute it, I can't see any problems with doing that.

When do you thihnk they ARE going to put in supports? That's the part i'm waiting for...

"Ugh..."

'Putergeek, I'm assuming you're good with programming. I did do like you mentioned, but it just reloads the same picture, not an updated one. When I press refresh/reload on the browser, it updates the pic. What do you think I may be doing wrong? Rather than go way off topic, e-mail me: bearcat_sigep@hotmail.com

Thanks!

I'm only getting half the picture on the wide shot and nothing on the close up! How about everyone else?

Ooooh! What's that big blue thingy over there!

The cam folks just can't keep 'em up. Both construction cams are down now.

I think they need to pick better angles. Most of the time I can't see anything because the sun is in my eyes!!!!

One's back at least! The closeup one too.

Did anyone see the blimp/helicopter/whoknowswhat floating in the upper right corner about 15 minutes ago? Any ideas what it was or why it was there?

The cams are just a bit far away and the angles could be better. However, maybe the angles they chose were for tech reasons?

Nothing like quoting yourself. :) Anyways, I see it again, it's not in the air, it's a spider on the camera. Fun.
