So yesterday was Sunday, and I was usual a bit bored, so I figured I’d have some fun and start using my webcam again. Now, of course I could have had it running at the usual place, straight in my face, but seeing as I OF COURSE walk around naked allot, we couldn’t have that running all the time. So I decided it would be more fun to monitor our gate and road outside.
After some work with the almighty ductape and some cardboard, I managed to attach the webcam to my window and aim it towards the road. See on Saturday I had a quick trip to Clas Ohlson, and I got this bright idea about getting a 5 meter long USB extension cord, so I could put my webcam anywhere I wanted. Thus I was able to put the cam in the window.
So the cam was up, and everything is running smoothly, so I decided I’d might as well place it on this mainpage as well. Got this javascript running and everything, so the image on the right actually updates every 30 sec without loading the rest of the site, which is pretty cool.
Once I’ve recorded an entire day in pictures I’ll make a stop-motion video of it and post it here for all to see. Safe to say it’s pretty fun seeing all the cars, people and the different shades of light. Only problem I’ve had so far is that wen it snows allot (like it does now) the cam has problems catching the light properly, and it gets very dark. And when its very bright outside, the cam can’t dim the light and everything gets very bright.
I’ll probably experiment a bit with that later, but it works ok for now.
I also put together my old computer parts, and tried to get a new server working, but it seems the graphics card is busted, so I have to get a “new” one somewhere. If anyone got some old card lying around, do let me know! I’d love to get this computer up and running again. It’s probably just going to be a simple server for me to play with for now, but there’s not much I can do with no display :p
As for this night, man I had the worst toothache ever….We went to sleep around 12′o clock, and by then my toothache really hurt, so I tried to sleep for about half an hour, but finally it was just too much. So I 2 ibux and went back, but after another 10 minutes, I figured the best would be to just get up and walk around for a bit. To get the pills to work quicker. They started working around 1:30, but by then I felt pretty awake, so i stayed up for another 1 and 1/2 hours just starting torrents and playing around on the Interwebs.
So yeah, I really need to get to the dentist and get this fixed. I was at the dentist the other day, but paying 900kr just to check my teeth, and get to know how much it would be to fixed it, really scared me off…
Still, this pain is just too much to bare, so I’ll probably try to get an appointment before I head home and get the bad tooth pulled out. It will probably set me back around 1000/1200kr, but I can’t go around eating painkillers all the time, I’ll be a drug addict if I continue.
Seeing as I didn’t get much sleep last night, I called work and asked if I were set up to work today, which I wasn’t, so thankfully I could go back to sleep and get a few more hours of shuteye.
Right now I’m waiting for Alina to send me a text, and let me know that she’s done cutting and colouring her hair, so I can go meet up with her at Solsiden. I’m very excited to see how it looks :)
