Webcam + Fishtank = ?? 04 January 2006 at 11:49 am by Jason 34 views

Let’s talk webcams… combined, Jess and I have 5 webcams. Why so many? Well after buying our own, we somehow got a bunch of free ones. They used to be used a lot, since Jess and I didn’t live together, but now that we do, they’re rarely on. So I had a thought… why not make a streaming webcam of my fishtank (and if that doesn’t work, maybe an image that updates every 5-10 seconds or so)? I figure it would be a nice addition to the rest of the site, but I have never set one up before.

So, what to do? Well, I’ve downloaded YawCam… it seems to have all the features I need to pull this off. Next I need to setup my cam (just on my desk) and see if I can get it to work. I figure I’ll use my nice Logitech to do this. If it works, the next step (pending approval from Jess) is setting up the cam on the fishtank somewhere, and finally, putting an active link here on the site.

So… would you guys tune into Fishies Gone Wild? Drop a comment, let me know what you think!



+ New Fishie!!! By Jason 31 December 2005 at 7:30 pm 151 views 1 Comment

So, Jess and I were out and about today looking at fish, and I found someone I wanted to bring home! We are now the proud owners of a German Blue Ram Cichlid! We don’t know whether it’s a male or female, as it’s very young (too young to tell), but here’s what it will look like when he/she grows up:

Nice, huh? Well, I’m off again… need to go clean up the house and get ready for the New Year! :)

EDIT - Here’s a shot of our little fish just checkin’ out the tank:

Cute Fish!
