SpringCam! Comments on the slides and sounds

~terry Sat, Jul 18, 1998 (01:45) seed

We run a constant webcam on the Spring with slides every 30 seconds and continuous realaudio sound. Watch the pictures fly by and listen and then comment here. And tell us if the bugger isn't working. 1 new of

Now this is me talking to Holly at Leightons party. I had a wonderful time talking to her, and she was fascinating and animated. I grabbed this picture off the webcam as it rolled by with a right mouseclick.

~terry Sat, Jul 18, 1998 (01:54) #2

At that's Mr. Dedicated Margarita maker on the left. I'm partially obscured by some purple floral object, as you can see. Now this is my room mate Kristen, who had a great time talking to Mr. Healer. I think he's starting a website called http://www.holistic.com

So you grab a cool pic. Make a comment. Ask about it. You just don't know what you'll see next. Get me pumped up with your comments and no telling what I'll get inspired to put up there. True cinema veritie. Riette, you really do log in at 1 am!

~terry Sat, Jul 18, 1998 (02:07) #4

Now, this Gretchen is quite the magnetic lady and an awesome dancer. Hope she makes the scene at our party tomorrow. She's a regular at the parties and events that I've been to lately.

$hit, yeah! And I am spitefully witholding positive feedback, so: It all looks disgustingly pleasant, and I hope you all have huge hangovers tomorrow. �SIGH� No, I'm being mean. Hope you all have a great time until the huge hangovers hit!

~KitchenManager Sat, Jul 18, 1998 (12:46) #9

shouldn't this topic be in art as well?...

~riette Sat, Jul 18, 1998 (13:11) #10

Yes, Terry and his cronies are probably turning enjoyment into an art form as we speak . . .

~KitchenManager Sat, Jul 18, 1998 (13:46) #11

so link it in, Terry...

~spew Sun, Jul 19, 1998 (00:42) #12

haha...I've successfully avoided the camera since my arrival...

~riette Sun, Jul 19, 1998 (01:14) #13

Why? Did you forget to comb your face?

~KitchenManager Sun, Jul 19, 1998 (01:47) #14

so's I wouldn't scare you, wolf, and autumn off...

~riette Sun, Jul 19, 1998 (04:22) #15

not to mention Stacey . . . But it's a shame, 'cos I like scary things - but I'm only speaking for myself. I see there was some dancing going on at the party as well - has any hangovers hit yet?

~KitchenManager Sun, Jul 19, 1998 (09:32) #16

too late for Stacey...we done met... almost a hangover...

~riette Sun, Jul 19, 1998 (11:17) #17

What??? You finally met Stacey? And did you like her? Did she like you?

~autumn Sun, Jul 19, 1998 (12:05) #18

Riette, you need to go back to the pre-Christmas postings in...philosophy, maybe? I seem to recall something about tirami su... Wer, I have such a mental picture of you, I don't know if i want it confirmed or denied!!

~KitchenManager Sun, Jul 19, 1998 (15:14) #19

should I even ask?

~riette Sun, Jul 19, 1998 (15:38) #20

No, you should give us the answer!

~terry Mon, Jul 20, 1998 (10:08) #21

Two out of three springcams are *sick*, they're going to the camcorder doctor today. Lotsa technical difficulties with these at the bash Sat. night.

~riette Mon, Jul 20, 1998 (11:09) #22

You mean those little dots that appeared on some of the pictures? Must be measles then.

~terry Mon, Jul 20, 1998 (14:35) #23

Problem more like casette door mechanism.

~riette Mon, Jul 20, 1998 (14:54) #24

Right. A hernia then.

~terry Mon, Jul 20, 1998 (15:07) #25

You're getting warm.

~mikeg Mon, Jul 20, 1998 (16:20) #26

:-))

~autumn Mon, Jul 20, 1998 (22:42) #27

Wer, it's so delicious I'm keeping it to myself...

~KitchenManager Tue, Jul 21, 1998 (00:23) #28

????? (sorry, Autumn, but I'm tired and short on time...will figure it out tomorrow)

~riette Tue, Jul 21, 1998 (05:53) #29

ha-ha!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! That sounded wonderfully vulgar! I should hope so, Autumn!!!

~terry Tue, Jul 21, 1998 (06:32) #30

I put back the tape of Leightons party? See any cool frames? Grab 'em and post 'em up here! Comments?

~riette Tue, Jul 21, 1998 (07:21) #31

Like how?

~terry Tue, Jul 21, 1998 (12:21) #32

Right mouse click on the picture, may darhhlingk.

~riette Tue, Jul 21, 1998 (13:11) #33

I'll try it, but don't be worried if I then dissappear from the spring for several days - my screen will probably explode.

~terry Tue, Jul 21, 1998 (15:32) #34

No it works! And it's safe.

~riette Wed, Jul 22, 1998 (01:31) #35

That's what my husband used to say, and I got pregnant anyway!

~terry Wed, Jul 22, 1998 (05:49) #36

Then use a conceptive on your right mouse clicker, be safe if you must.

~riette Wed, Jul 22, 1998 (06:38) #37

HA-HA!!!! Will wear my dish gloves when computering in the future! Well, I took the risk, and right clicked the picture - and a list of options came up. Which one do I take, and what do I then do with it?

~KitchenManager Wed, Jul 22, 1998 (07:36) #38

click on save as...then tell it to save it where you want it on your computer...

~riette Wed, Jul 22, 1998 (08:14) #39

and then?

~terry Wed, Jul 22, 1998 (08:49) #40

Then double click on it and run it! telnet www.spring.net and login in with your username and password and type bbs. Read the directions that come up initially.

~riette Wed, Jul 22, 1998 (12:25) #41

I shall try not to fail.

~KitchenManager Wed, Jul 22, 1998 (13:34) #42

No...do or do not there is no try.

~terry Wed, Jul 22, 1998 (14:47) #43

You can do it!

~autumn Wed, Jul 22, 1998 (15:20) #44

Good luck, Riette, I have never had any luck with this. I can never find it again to run it. I guess I'm just a big LOSER!

~KitchenManager Wed, Jul 22, 1998 (17:49) #45

*smooch* I just LOVE losers!!!

~riette Thu, Jul 23, 1998 (01:26) #46

I tried. I lost. No more!

~KitchenManager Thu, Jul 23, 1998 (10:47) #47

you will get it, you two, I promise...

~autumn Fri, Jul 24, 1998 (21:13) #48

I don't want to get it--that will be my claim to fame when I'm 50; I'll still only be able to go to the Spring on the internet and read my email.

~terry Fri, Jul 24, 1998 (23:59) #49

I just put in a new tape. I'm going to start switching between a lot of different tapes from many different eras. Including my trip to the Caymans, some stuff I shot 10 years ago when the spring was getting started, some outrageous parties, and many events around Austin. And we'll go live from time to time also.

~KitchenManager Sat, Jul 25, 1998 (00:10) #50

too bad you can't do every one, and let people pick the "station" they want to watch...

~riette Sat, Jul 25, 1998 (04:16) #51

Terry, I think those pictures are great. I always look at them before I log in.

~terry Sat, Jul 25, 1998 (06:57) #52

Thanks. Wow. Feedback!!! Um. Thank you!

~riette Sat, Jul 25, 1998 (07:38) #53

You're welcome. You're welcome.

~ratthing Sat, Jul 25, 1998 (10:53) #54

terry, i enjoy the pix also, tho i only see them occasionally since i telnet into the spring!

~riette Sat, Jul 25, 1998 (12:41) #55

Hi, Ray! Did your bride find a gown?

~ratthing Sat, Jul 25, 1998 (13:47) #56

she is doing so as i type this! meanwhile, i am preparing to take a 3 day business trip to Washington DC. yuk!

~riette Sun, Jul 26, 1998 (00:53) #57

You poor thing. Well, just think of how much MORE you'll love each other when you're away, and how sweet the return will be.

~terry Sun, Jul 26, 1998 (08:10) #58

Uh oh, Ray must have gotten a notice in the mail from Ken Starr.

~KitchenManager Sun, Jul 26, 1998 (23:19) #59

way to go, Ray!

~riette Wed, Nov 18, 1998 (08:11) #60

Hey, Terry, I've finally finished your blasted video. It's really stupid/boring/buggered/chaotic/silly. Do I send it to the address that Tim gave me in food?

~terry Wed, Nov 18, 1998 (09:26) #61

That would work! Great! Please ship it our way!

~TIM Wed, Nov 18, 1998 (16:20) #62

Waiting with pleasant anticipation!

~KitchenManager Wed, Nov 18, 1998 (17:05) #63

and a whole group of anticipatory peasants with pheasants...

~riette Thu, Nov 19, 1998 (02:11) #64

booh! It will shatter every illusion you ever had about me! I made sure I included footage of three years ago when Isa was a baby, and I was pregnant with Elza, and BIG, FAT, UGLY! That'll teach you a lesson or two! For aesthetics, there's footage on Cape Town, Swakopmund and Z�rich.

~TIM Thu, Nov 19, 1998 (03:34) #65

Perhaps a visit to the EYE doctor is in order. You? Ugly?? Mutually Exclusive.

~ratthing Thu, Nov 19, 1998 (08:21) #66

damn straight!

~terry Thu, Nov 19, 1998 (08:52) #67

So, it's in the mail?

~riette Sat, Nov 21, 1998 (01:19) #68

Almost - I want to get Tim's cheese and chocolate to send along as well, and then I'll send it via express mail.

~terry Sat, Nov 21, 1998 (21:56) #69

Excellent! Woo woo.

~riette Mon, Nov 23, 1998 (01:57) #70

Poo Poo!

~terry Mon, Nov 23, 1998 (07:09) #71

Is in the mail, ree ree?

~riette Mon, Nov 23, 1998 (07:48) #72

It will be in about an hour from now.

~terry Mon, Nov 23, 1998 (07:53) #73

That's so fine!

~riette Mon, Nov 23, 1998 (11:07) #74

Bon Voyage! It's on its way! And it wasn't even expensive to send! I sent it express, so it should arrive in less than a week - hopefully the cheese will keep until then!

~terry Sun, Jan 10, 1999 (10:17) #75

Today the SpringCam is especially active at both houses, so check it out and make comments here. We're not running tape today.

~aschuth Fri, Apr 23, 1999 (05:34) #76

http://www.spring.net/~terry/cap.jpg What is that? Terry, I'd wish there were captions with the cam.

~aschuth Fri, Apr 23, 1999 (05:35) #77

And this pasting of pics doesn't work for me... How to?

~KitchenManager Fri, Apr 23, 1999 (11:29) #78

that requires a long response, Alexander...do you need to know the whole process, or just the syntax of the image tag?

~aschuth Fri, Apr 23, 1999 (15:33) #79

Got it written down somewhere? Mail me pls. Want to do this, too!

~KitchenManager Fri, Apr 23, 1999 (23:51) #80

not exactly...well, maybe on here somewhere... do you have any personal web space anywhere?

~aschuth Sat, Apr 24, 1999 (07:26) #81

Nope. Always wanted (on a Domino server, of all places, but didn't find any acceptable offer for Lotus Domino-webhosting; wonder if that were something we could Mr. Terry get interested in...), never did. The story of my live.

~KitchenManager Sat, Apr 24, 1999 (11:37) #82

if you can't do the picture thang, who put the one up in InternationalConflicts?

~terry Sat, Apr 24, 1999 (13:37) #83

An unrelated comment wer, but is there a way to have a conference with an alias? For example, could internationalconflict have the alias of conflict or int or in, or all of these? Do you know if this is yappable?

~aschuth Sat, Apr 24, 1999 (15:21) #84

Terry, how about just creating a new Conf with a shrt name, and put all topics up in there, too? Ought to do it, no?

~KitchenManager Sat, Apr 24, 1999 (23:22) #85

yes, but that takes up double the space, Alexander... not sure, Terry, I'll look into it...

~aschuth Fri, Jun 25, 1999 (05:26) #86

Terry, smart move to do stuff with the "Terry - Spring" cap on, and hype it here via SpringCam! What was that? Radio?

~terry Fri, Jun 25, 1999 (07:53) #87

Today's schedule: http://www.tvshows.com/schedule.html Fr 1:00 PM Messages Of Ancient Stones Fr 6:00 PM Women's News Hour Fr 7:00 PM On Being Ourselves Fr 8:00 PM Electric Screegin' Fr 9:00 PM Liberation Fr 10:00 PM X - It Fr 11:00 PM Pun Zone Fr 12:00 AM Echo In Austin Fr 2:00 AM CapZeyZ Clips Fr 3:00 AM CapZeyZ Clips The CapZeyeZ Clips are some of Austin's best music and it's a call in talk show as well.

~wolf Fri, Jun 25, 1999 (09:06) #88

is that you with the cap showing right now?

~terry Fri, Jun 25, 1999 (20:29) #89

Was it a green baseball hat? If so, probably yours truly. Did you listen to the sound?

~aschuth Mon, Jun 28, 1999 (04:58) #90

Huh, not me - my boxes are %$�&!-ed again. Need new recovery plans for hd's...

~autumn Wed, Jun 30, 1999 (20:21) #91

Whaddya call that doohickey between the dollar sign and the ampersand? What's it for?

~aschuth Thu, Jul 1, 1999 (12:55) #92

This one : � ?

~terry Thu, Jul 1, 1999 (13:06) #93

Isn't that a symbol used in legal briefs or something?

~aschuth Thu, Jul 1, 1999 (13:31) #94

Yep. In German, it is pronounced "Paragraph", which might give you an idea where it is used... Them ole laws!

~terry Thu, Jul 1, 1999 (16:46) #95

Wonder if you can have a domain with that symbol (how do you type it on a keyboard)?

~autumn Sun, Jul 4, 1999 (00:19) #96

Must need to switch your keyboard language to German. In English the paragraph symbol is a "P" with an extra line next to it. I like yours better!

~KitchenManager Sun, Jul 4, 1999 (01:07) #97

don't you say that to all the guys, Autumn?

~aschuth Mon, Jul 5, 1999 (05:04) #98

*blushing to an impressive, deep purple shade which people well educated in the blushing business would perhaps even call violet*

~aschuth Mon, Jul 5, 1999 (05:08) #99

On my - admittedly German keyboard - it's "shift + 4" . That help any? I guess no domain name like that possible - not in the set of allowed characters... (neither are & and % or + or # which all would be useful, too).

~autumn Tue, Jul 6, 1999 (22:56) #100

Hey, I never met a P I didn't like! Shift + 4 is a dollar sign on our keyboard. (Guess you don't need that one, huh?)
