And the camera's working at last

Oct62008

Outgoing mail server is mail.btinternet.com, and username is just the username, not the email address. I authorised another email address on my own clarkeology.com domain to send from my btbroadband in the end, but don't think I really needed to do that. At least if I reply to one of these messages, or Clare does, the mail will come back to me and not some unchecked yahoo / btinternet account.

Now all I want is for someone to burgle my flat!

Looks like this might be the modern equivalent of my camera.

UPDATE: and it's gone again, sent one mail and now it's back to erroring again. The mail did arrive, seemingly from my own domain so I know that bit worked. Once. What on earth did I do to get it working?

Blimey, it's still a bit pricey, all all so that people can spy on their partners while they're at work. Plus it still doesn't seem to perform very well, better off with a web cam and a mini server.

but yeah it's not working very well yet... it will be handy for security, see if anyone comes to the door etc, it should email me when it motion detects, so I can point it at the telly and get a video email if the telly falls over or anything like that. It could happen.
