Preserved Topic: www.DocOzone.com

Heh. I started playing with two different things, that both came together for me in an interestoing way. The first was this service over at www.dns2go.com - this is very cool. What they do is provide a small application on your machine that talks to *their* dns server. If you have to deal with Dynamic IP#'s, you can now host a domain with them, and whenever your IP number changes from home, the application sends it into these guys, and they send server requests back to your machine at the new number.

Then I started playing with Apache on my Windows box. Neat! I like it. I was also trying to get 6 different cams up and running, each with their own dedicated instance of webcam32, kind of a miniature dedicated webserver that only does video. So now calls to www.DocOzone.com get sent right to myu firewall, and redirected to one of the several machines here, the main one being my new Apache instance, cool. If you wanna check the cams, the video works, but I still need to fix the floating text (you'll see it). www.PrimalShape.com/cams

Please, evil hackers, don't hack my machines and/or network. I'm a nice guy. <img border=0 align=absmiddle src="http://www.ozones.com/forum/smile.gif">

Your pal, -doc-

Pretty cool Doc. Awfully brave to have a cam in your living room..... <img border=0 align=absmiddle src="http://www.ozones.com/forum/smile.gif">


only problem is, by the time a pic finishes loading, it refreshes...so I don't really get to see it <img border=0 align=absmiddle src="http://www.ozones.com/forum/frown.gif">

Ah yeah, I gotta do some more work on that. What I want it to do is to refresh one image every 5 seconds, in continuous rotation. I also have the hooks in there to make the refresh rate adjustable, better add that in there.

I'm most involved in my new webserver and URL, http://www.DocOzone.com/ - right now it should be a pretty darn complete mirror of my ozones.com site. What is *especially* cool is my experimnetal mirror of the ASYLUM! Whee! Me so proud! Installed Apache and Perl on my windows 2000 box, and stepped through the steps necessary to migrate this beast from one server to another. This is the first step towards migrating the asylum from where it lives to it's own server. Do please check this out...

http://www.DocOzone.com/forum/ <--experimental new ASYLUM!!!

This is a snapshot from this friday, at about 4:30pm my time. In downloading and setting up this mirror, I found that the forum accounts for over 1/3 of my entire web allocation, it weighed in at 53 MB! Ouch! I need that space for doing my website! Soon, very soon, the asylum must move to it's own space. Poke at this new version and see if you see anything broken, links or urls or images not working. *Preciate it, thanks in advance!

Your pal, -doc-

I poked around quite a bit, everything seems to be in perfect working order.

That's pretty cool. Is your setup able to handle the high traffic you get? Will that effect you at all?

Doc, this is just plain coolness <img border=0 align=absmiddle src="http://www.ozones.com/forum/smile.gif"> Malin is beautiful btw.......

I think doing this would be a blast at my house especially during the summer when we have pool parties and everyone is playing darts and pool in the game room.

I am not sure if 24/7 in a house with several roomies is a good idea. But, heh, for the right amount of *rubs fingers together~ money, it would <img border=0 align=absmiddle src="http://www.ozones.com/forum/smile.gif"> I remember seeing a show on that last year. But they were all strangers.

Great work on the other site also <img border=0 align=absmiddle src="http://www.ozones.com/forum/smile.gif">

Eh...the Woodydex interface does not work...
ooops it does. Nice work Doc...

Yah, I'm concerned about speed, running this thing on windows goes against all of my principles, it's usually not stable enough. That, and also the fast that it's running off a cable modem connection to my flat in Sweden, seems to me we could be having a delay or three!

Shiii, thanks for saying so, I'll tell Malin that, but she won't believe me. I've been following the careers of a few cam girls, trying to make a living out of this kind of thing, and some make bundles and some make grocery money, others actually spend more than comes in, heh. I think it's kind of funny when I hear them arguing about who was really first, was it really Jenni? (I was live and streaming for a year beforehand, therefore *I* am the first camgirl! Hah!)

Your pal, -doc-

Doc -- and what a lovely camgirl you are!!
What time is the "show" <img border=0 align=absmiddle src="http://www.ozones.com/forum/wink.gif">

btw -- I've always thought Malin was beautiful <img border=0 align=absmiddle src="http://www.ozones.com/forum/smile.gif">

Hey Doc, i got to ask, what in the world is that freaky white oval looking thing on the floor in front of your desk? Kinda on the left side. That thing is bugging me out.

garoovy
makes me wanna get me DSL
by the time all the cams loaded it was refreshing. Ya'll don't walk around nekkid or anything like dat do ya?

Yah, you do kinda have to think about the walking around naked part, but after a while you don't think twice about picking your nose, it's amazing how quickly we adapt. I sometimes think if the entire world was live on camera, all the time, we'd all end up being a bit more sane, and way less full of ourselves. Nothing puts life in perspective like seeing what you look like before a shower, right out of bed, heh. (Malin will tell you what that big oval freaky thing is. ;-)

Your pal, -doc-

note to opticburn: hehe..it's one of those philip's natural light thing that works similar to sunlight. it's suppose to make you more energetic. here in sweden we hardly get any sunlight at all during the wintertime and people get tired and depressed. (and it also makes a awesome lightsource when playing around with cams!

note to self: never have it on after 5 pm, unless you *dont* wanna be able to fall asleep before 5 am....

I finally caught this thread on the weekend. I tuned into doc and malin cam just in time to see the lights going on the Charlie Brown tree. It really made me smile.

I must agree with DL btw....what a lovely cam-ee..

..and malin is gorgeous too.

heh

The cams are a great idea....though, as much as I'd love to show people how I work, that might stop me from wearing my Garfield boxers, and drinking coffee from the soup mugs.....and that's just a horrid premise.

coolness. Doc, I'm watching you putz with the cam settings. i was watching the one with you and Malin in it, and then the refresh time went to 30 secs. much better now. if you read this within a few moments, wave to me. I'm watching the cam above your left shoulder.

~Aaron

I'm watching too! *waves to doc* *realizes I don't have a web cam* *slowly puts hand down* *looks over shoulder to see if anyone in the office saw* <img border=0 align=absmiddle src="http://www.ozones.com/forum/wink.gif"> NICE JOB DOC!!!

I just realized you would have to hold your hand up for 30 sec for anyone to see. hehehe


Putting the Green back in Mean... er... wait... DOH!

Hah, I think I like the cheap old Quickcam Web with the absolutely *awful* quality the best. Because the quality was *so* poor anyway, I was able to set the compression pretty high and get pretty smooth video from the JavaPush, heh. Fun!

Whoop! Set the refresh rate just a wee bit too fast and crashed the cam, damn. (IT locks that port open, andnow I gotta restart, bummer.)

PS: DG, the girls might just really dig the garfield boxers, who can tell? Plus, you *can* set it to only grab from the waist up. <img border=0 align=absmiddle src="http://www.ozones.com/forum/smile.gif">

Your pal, -doc-

Argh! I check out the cams for the first time and caught a glimpse of Doc and thought, "Hey, I'll come back to this and peep some more once I finish with the Asylum..." Then I come back and POOF all the lights are out and the Doc has gone to bed!

Nevertheless, very cool layout. I like being able to switch between cams like that, not to mention changing the refresh rate. Pretty clever.

Makes me want to create my own live cam when I get my new apt, but I don't even know where to start... Plus, there's that naked thing...

what they hay? i just posted this post on the DocOzone.com string and it threw it into the next thread 'Visitors Advise Designer to Get Life ' huh....

hey, i can only download 2 or 3 of them b4 they all refresh... and i cant change the time... if i cange it it changes back...
[edit]eyezaer you doink, scroll all the way down the page![/edit]
cool <img border=0 align=absmiddle src="http://www.ozones.com/forum/biggrin.gif"> although i have only seen you 1 time... and i was like, that the Doc? yikes... didnt need to see that... heh...



[This message has been edited by eyezaer (edited 12-12-2000).]

LOL!

Doc, Pants, NOW!

heheheh j/k

There's no way I could have a web cam of me working, I pick my nose too much. It would be embarrassing. <img border=0 align=absmiddle src="http://www.ozones.com/forum/redface.gif">


Putting the Green back in Mean... er... wait... DOH!

[This message has been edited by Blook (edited 12-12-2000).]

Haha Doc you lazy bum.

I think we should start a Best of Doc Gallery.

I love cammies...

BTW, Doc, I noticed you were using a HandyCam for one of those rooms. (Great idea using the NightShot.) What kind of setup are you using for that?

Haven't really done much with the HandyCam yet, but it *is* cool, ain't it? We got it from one of those "lease to own" places, and spend about $35/month for the priveledge of letting it hand araound, heh. We bought a IE1394 firewire card for mailin's machine, which is dandy for sucking video or stills out of the cam, but no good for live monitoring of it. For that we needed a vheap video-in card, which ran about $100. Not sure if I like the quality of that card, though, (MiroVideo PCTV), so I may end up upgrading it again - my PC needs better video, maybe I can get a combo card?

Your pal, -doc-

Hmm...I'm wondering if there's some way of turning my HandyCam into a Webcam using my DV-Rex. I may have to get a cheapie card like you did, though. I'm going to have to do some research.

Think I'm going to take this to the multimedia forum. I must know more!
