How I Did It

The Birth Of The TacoCam

This webcam is brought to you through freeservers.com who allow you to automatically update images on their server via a direct FTP, which Angelfire does not allow. I like Angelfire for their free web pages, and they have never given me any grief about my site, but they don't allow you to send pics automatically to them, so I had to go elsewhere for the cam page.

My first attempt at having an updating webcam was with the grayscale Connectix QuickCam. Unfortunately, the only drivers I could find for it (I got he cam from a friend without the software) was in German, so I was basically winging it with the settings. As a result the picture was blurry.

Of course, you can see how stupid I look in this picture. I tried to use this cam with a webpage I found called The Tight Budget Webcam. Within this page was instructions on how to have an automatically updating webcam with shareware programs and an easy batch file. Well, I tried it and it didn't work at all.

So, I tried to update this cam by myself, sending a pic whenever I got a chance to with a program called FTP Outbox. This proved very tiring, and I soon was not updating at all. But for my birthday, my friend got me the new color Logitech QuickCam VC. And it has all of the updating programs embedded in the program itself. All I have to do is turn it on and let it run in the background. Isn't that fucking ASTOUNDING?

Although I still don't update EVERY ten minutes, I do send a pic every ten minutes when I'm online. Get it? If I had DSL then you would be seeing me sleeping, or dressing, or masturbating, or whatever. If that kind of thing turns you on, I suggest you find another site, 'cause this ain't that kind of cam. Sorry for the incredibly boring story, but really I'm trying out HotDog Professional 4.0 and couldn't think of anything else to write about at the time. Also, I wanted to see if I could get the text to wrap around the picture, which it did.
