DSL might be a good idea..but it DOES work on dial. 		SurferJoe46 (51)
463832 2006-06-17 06:20:00 Righto ...

BTW, it works perfectly fine on dialup as you have linked to a static jpg and not the actual webcam. :p

Fascinating watching cars go by ... :waughh:

Nah, they shoulda sited the cam from the opposite direction to show the view of the album cover . 		Greg (193)

We have Japanese beetles here in SoCal as well as the standard beetles .

If one wants to identify one beetle from the other, just pick up the bug in question and look underneath . The Japanese version have tiny little cameras around their necks, and the sound they make is "crick" . 		SurferJoe46 (51)

The reason that the URL shows only static JPEG image (as Jen said) is because you did not include the necessary Javascript code that helps to refresh the picture periodically.


<script language="javascript">
<!--
var SLOW_CONNECTION = 4000; // slow connection updates every 4 secs
var FAST_CONNECTION = 2000; // fast connection updates every 2 secs
var TRY_AGAIN = 1000; // guess its busy trying to load the image
// lets wait a sec and try again
var preload = null;
var aTimer = null;
var bufferedImageAvailable = false;
var timeOut = SLOW_CONNECTION;


function getNewImage()
{
if (document.images)
{
preload = null;
preload = new Image(384,284);
preload.onLoad = newBufferedImageAvailable();

var aRandom = Math.round(Math.random()*1000000);
preload.src = "www.abbeyroad.com + aRandom;

aTimer = setTimeout("swapImage()", timeOut); // reset the image swapping
}
}

function newBufferedImageAvailable()
{
bufferedImageAvailable = true;
}

function swapImage()
{
if (document.images)
{
if (bufferedImageAvailable)
{
document.picture.src = preload.src;
getNewImage();
}
else
{
// don't need to be able to cancel this timeout
aTimer = setTimeout("swapImage()",TRY_AGAIN);
}
}
}


function setSpeed(theSpeed)
{
timeOut = theSpeed;
if (aTimer != null)
{
clearTimeout(aTimer);
setTimeout("swapImage()",timeOut);
}
if (document.fastButton != null || document.slowButton != null)
{

if (theSpeed == FAST_CONNECTION)
{
document.fastButton.src = "fast_over.gif";
document.slowButton.src = "slow_off.gif";
}
else
if (theSpeed == SLOW_CONNECTION)
{
document.fastButton.src = "fast_off.gif";
document.slowButton.src = "slow_over.gif";
}
}
}

function slow()
{
setSpeed(SLOW_CONNECTION);
}
function fast()
{
setSpeed(FAST_CONNECTION);
}

463836 2006-06-18 05:06:00 TY James . . . . sorry for the slip-up .

It seems that Jen got it figgered out though! She's a bright girl .

BTW Jen, Knoppix/Live! screwed up my g drive . . . I lost all the data on it . . . :( !

I never asked Knoppix to do anything to g drive at all . . just ran it live and now g is missing . 200g of data . . . . . FULL too !

Ugh! 		SurferJoe46 (51)
