Firstly, please wish Dawn's Mom well, see here for more info.
No Thursday Thirteen this week, although I have one planned ... Not got my 13 myths to put in my 13 myths just yet, working on it :-)
Ipaq TV is on the air, which means I've been successful in :
Hooking up webcam to laptop - trivial :-)
Getting the streaming video thing going - almost trivial
(issues with getting the software from Microsoft)
Ipaq connected to network - hassle ... grr ... wifi ... grr
Ipaq looking at video stream - sorted :-)
I probably won't go for the 100% solution, which would be to make it available via the internet, I don't have a use for that plus I'd have to hook it up via my desktop, which isn't exactly reliable ...
Just one slight problem, which might put a downer on using IpaqTV to fix the Skydish ... I was testing it while watching a Dresden Files episode. The image came up ok but when I waved at the camera, nothing happened. And then I start hearing voices ... I'm not going nuts, it was Dresden Files voices. I listened a little harder and realised - "they said that a minute ago !"
And you've probably just realised what the problem might be ;-) (need to tinker with da buffers)
Awww, thanks SO much for linking my post Sleepypete. It means a lot to me that you've done this for her, and I'll be sure to pass on everyone's good wishes to her when we speak on Sunday.
ReplyDeletethe entire time I was reading this I thought you were saying IraqTV and I couldn't figure out what the hell you were doing!!
ReplyDeletethen I went back past your shiny shoes and now I feel so much better - much less confused.
Lol Dianne :-) I like my shiny shoes. They have far more grip than the last pair, which led to me convincing all the other players that I'm nuts by diving 6 times and pulling out the pirouette shot 5 times :-)
