It's done well - an 80's analogue Camcorder. So, until I can get around to sorting out a replacement; that's all (for now)... Smut 2007-10-08T17:21:06+00:00 http://www.ivy-house.org.uk/archives/000031.html Finally - a clearer view, the Magnolia gets a haircut!... Smut 2007-09-09T11:34:22+00:00 http://www.ivy-house.org.uk/archives/000030.html Some big thunderstorms around yesterday. Download the time lapse movie here. The camera even caught a bolt of lightning during the 17:00 storm - pretty lucky considering it's only capturing frames every ten seconds or so. You can see some... Smut 2007-07-10T11:26:14+00:00 http://www.ivy-house.org.uk/archives/000029.html Yesterdays storm left the garden somewhat battered and bruised. Just to the left of the barncam field of view, there is a Walnut tree - now, sadly on its side. We also had a lovely Pear tree in the garden... Smut 2007-01-19T09:25:37+00:00 http://www.ivy-house.org.uk/archives/000028.html Turns out the movies weren't getting uploaded. I've sorted that out now, but I wouldn't bother watching until this weather clears. Even hardened Barncam viewers are going to find seven hours of fog a wee bit dull I think...... Smut 2006-12-22T09:53:02+00:00 http://www.ivy-house.org.uk/archives/000027.html Slight glitch in the new movie script stopped it running last night. Hopefully better luck tonight. Just as well I work for a software testing company... :-/... Smut 2006-12-20T08:44:02+00:00 http://www.ivy-house.org.uk/archives/000026.html The daily movies weren't working too well, so I've given the scripts an overhaul. Hopefully, quality will be improved (possibly for smaller filesize) and there should be better sync with Dawn/Dusk, so less sitting in front of a blank screen.... Smut 2006-12-19T20:20:43+00:00 http://www.ivy-house.org.uk/archives/000025.html Barncam should now be back online after the recent downtime. Also minus the scaffolding. I'll get around to trimming the Magnolia tree Real Soon Now.... Smut 2006-11-30T16:29:51+00:00 http://www.ivy-house.org.uk/archives/000024.html The fine view of the scaffolding hopefully won't be there for long. But then again... DIY painting & decorating can sometimes drag on for years...... Smut 2006-09-11T13:56:22+00:00 http://www.ivy-house.org.uk/archives/000023.html Finally repaired the ailing Barncam. It may take a few days to settle, but should be back to normal then. Sorry for the delay in effecting a repair - been a bit busy with work, and cycling whilst the weather... Smut 2006-06-26T14:31:19+00:00 http://www.ivy-house.org.uk/archives/000022.html Upgrades all done.... Smut 2006-02-19T13:32:15+00:00 http://www.ivy-house.org.uk/archives/000021.html Yes folks, Chris is bored. Can't go cycling because of a sore achilles, so I'm doing my Linux server a "favour". The Barncam will return when I've beaten the new system into submission.... Smut 2006-02-15T12:11:44+00:00 http://www.ivy-house.org.uk/archives/000020.html Nothing like a couple of centimetres of snow to improve the view from the 'ol homestead.... Seasons greetings to all Barncam fans.... Smut 2005-12-28T12:07:42+00:00 http://www.ivy-house.org.uk/archives/000019.html No sooner did I announce the outage - it all springs back to life.... Smut 2005-08-19T15:02:44+00:00 http://www.ivy-house.org.uk/archives/000018.html Sadly our DSL connection appears to have gone west which has effectively removed us from the internet (I'm posting this via my Laptop and Mobile). The Barncam will be back online when BT have brought us a new pair of... Smut 2005-08-18T17:36:57+00:00
