Live!

Wed Dec 17 23:43:45 CST 1997

[DANNYCAM!] Bought a QuickCam the other day from a place called PC Mall. It wasn't easy, but I got it hooked up and running under FreeBSD. Now, the ultimate in geekness, it's live on the web!

The first reaction I get from folks is "What about if you want privacy?" to which I reply "I live in a Quad - there is no privacy!"

It's really not that bad at all, especially since it doesn't handle low light well. If I'm really cool I'll get to hack up some of the source over break and see if I can't convince it to do some auto-correction of contrast and brightness and such.

I'm kinda tired, kinda lathargic feeling. I don't wanna take my 0800h CS327 exam tomorrow. I'm gonna blow it pretty well. The course I'm least interested in this semester. I'm going to write Dr. Harandi later on sharing with him some of my thoughts about his course and the CS Department in general.

Mike came in and started watching TV. Distracting, but it's not like I'm studying or anything. I'm gonna wander off and try to study, or go to sleep, coz I feel tired.

'night.
