WhatEVER

Well...
I have been trying to get my script to work for allowing my webcam to be hard linked directly from home to my site but alas to no avail. Spent a loooonggg time Sunday going through tutorials etc both online and in books. Locally the code worked so I am wondering if activex and J can't be used and uploaded to the server with actual video streams. Oh well looks like I will have to try and find another way. I had thought I cold use flash and create a new instance of a media controller etc but I have to admint that without a bit more reading this stumps the heck out of me. I just could't get anything to work.
So I have reset my cam links to the original ww.com webcam EASYYYYYY LIFEEEE pages. This is really for when on the fly one wants nothing more than have a live local camera uploaded to a single webpage. Its not very pretty or customizable but it DOES work and is free. So I must not grumble. That IS when the flippin server allows me to connect. Have checked setting over and over and over. Even my PDA ftp wont work...grrrrrr I cant remember when something has annoyed me so damn much because of such a stupid problem.




Besides all the hastles..on a happily positive and somewhat "HAPPY CHRISTMAS TO MYSELF sort of "HAVE A PREZZIE FROM ME TO ME" kind of way..I've just spent a little money I'd been saving for the past 2months as well as adding some cash from my emergency fun..I've swapped my WIFI setup for the latest and greatest 108mbps 11g Cable and Wireless modem router. ...Boy is it fast....

It'a juat a pitty BT B.S'ed about the fact that my service was now 2Mbps as that would have been nice for normal use. But anyway even though its 100 (I've tested it and its actually wired at 154Mbps) It still means its fast enough for caming family and friends when I want to chat and is fast enough all round for what I nead...(WHO AM I KIDDING...I WANT 2MBPS AS I WAS PROMICED...!!!!)
It took a little setting up and is once again down to the usual ip address/web based interface controller for settup. I know it's still a local setup but it's not as friendly and as well thought out as the Linksys router settup window. But one thing I did find a joy was how quick it accepted the new settings. The only point I HATE is that if you need to change anything you need to reconnected via hard wire as trying to access the setup ip was not possible via a wireless point. This is a real shame as Linksys was always available and even allowed me to use my PDA cell phone to do the business. And that was without any waiting time too. But the new C&W box starts to load and then stops. The only thing I can think of is that it needs a static IP address fromt the host machine to allow accessing. Failing that I have no idea. Although I also found out that I am unable to hook up to the college server to upload new dreamweaver work if I use my wireless setup. So maybe it is a case of static IP.
I digress.

Yesterday, I have to say I got so fed up with the neighbours. I don't know who it is in this place but someone yesterday had music so loud I had to put myself in a state of total calm else I may have gone along and followed the thoughts in my head which could have caused problems all round. I wanted soooo much to put my studio monitor speaks face down on the floor..link the laptop and loop some string samples through. This may sound ODD as some people I know who arent a million miles away from my thoughts these days and female would have jumped up and down on the floor or better still gone round and told whoever it was to TURN IT DOWN....


Well lets just say that my next step would have been to have turned the mixer on max, whacked the reverb and boost on full and gone out for the day. But..I guess I am just to much of a decent chap. Either that or just plain stupid.



If only a new neighbour could move in
and perhaps look a little like this

What else have I been up too....(mmMmm).....thinks....

Ah yes !...I have been looking into one of the assignments for my course and even managed to more or less do the majority of the ground work already. This is amaizing and is a sure sign that I am pretty much getting back to the person I was a couple of years ago when all that mattered was reaching my goals in life.

Right at this moment its not even 6am but I've been awake since 4am and have been unable to sleep right through. Lets just say that I am having to add extra pages to my Journal book these days as I write so much.
