RE: Linksys WVC54G wireless camera, btinternet SMTP and gmail

I have a similar problem and I got tired of fighting with it. Most of these cameras also will send a screen shot to an ftp server so I wrote a vbscript that polls the server and then sends an email using my workplace smtp server. Obviously, you need ...

More camera strangeness

I had a burst of five emails in a row from the camera, not sure if it's when I'd tweaked with the settings or not so no idea if it's working or not. Might try turning off the video attachment see if that's any easier on the email. Found lots of stuff...

And the camera's working at last

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 t...

Linksys WVC54G wireless camera, btinternet SMTP and gmail

Dug out my wireless camera, to see if it could be used as a web cam - it's good quality, with sound, but more for security monitoring than sitting in front of the screen and talking. Don't think it can, but it's good to have it up and running again a...

RE: wg111 (wifi) + ubuntu (linux) still not playing nicely

Hi PaulI came across this site as I was searching how to make my new WG111v3 usb adaptor work under mandriva 2008 (I'll try it on my ubuntu machine later) - that has ndiswrapper installed and, like yours, didn't work. Your posting gave me the clue as...

It's a long way to Gutsy Gibbon

This version is Dapper Drake. I got a CD of a more recent version off someone at work hoping I could start again from there and then upgrade to the latest, but if I try that my wireless connection is lost immediately, and without that I can do nothin...

Not sure where that came from...

... but I just got my old PC internetting wirelessly at last, without needing to buy any new bits, and by following a forum post from 2005. How many times have I tried this and failed? This time I tried something new, and it worked. I think I was ins...

Quite Interesting

Went back to QI, and it was ace, glad we made the effort. I had the afternoon off, and got away on time, so I had hours to kill before the show. I went to the National Gallery, and saw some paintings, it was nice. Then I wondered around Soho grazing ...

Long weekend

Been away a long time (apart from my little post this morning about wireless things) and we fitted quite a lot in really, felt like a proper holiday since my complaints about QI.Our afternoon out in Canterbury was good, though not absolutely everythi...

Wahey wa-ireless!

First post from the new computer, well the old, very old computer, but using the new operating system and wireless. It's not perfect, the connection does keep dropping, but that could be any number of things. It's been quite a long struggle as the ca...

Technology, and how it cancels itself out

Bah, got my wireless camera working in the house at last, for the first time since we went over to BT HomeHub and all the settings changed, and what happens the very same day? The IPOD stopped working. I suspect Apple monitor the blog and heard about...

How can I rotate an AVI then?

I have a video here, how can I rotate it 90 degrees anti clockwise? Kosso says "not easy", hmm...UPDATE: Kosso also says use MPlayer. I think that's some software I was after before, I can use it to automatically grab video off my wireless camera, ma...

What to buy..?

I have a five pound Amazon voucher that expires this weekend, should I buy a new wireless network card, or a book? Ideally want to not spend any extra money, but I do need another network card, AND we've got a big stack of Reginald Hill books that we...

Day 4, IPOD battery still behaving

So, my IPOD opening skills are up to scratch, my web development skills are lacking today. I'm using a new firefox extension that alerts you to memory leak errors in javascript... I have tonnes! I'm going to have to disable it again, as there's no wa...

Mobile game reviews

Might do some work for a Mobile gaming company, not a company that actually makes mobile games, but a company that has a site that writes mobile game reviews and has mobile phone game news and things. Not much of a mobile gamer myself and might not e...

Nazareth in 1973

Bit of anecdotal gig history from Nazareth Direct... hanging off the ceiling? Really?"When 'Broken Down Angel' took off, it happened really quickly. At the start of our first headlining tour, with Robin Trower supporting, we played to about 300 folk....

Wife beating

Yesterday I beat the wife! Yes, it was the completion of the second ever Clarke Cup, and it went all the way to the wire. Scrabble was mine, cards was Clare's, then pool was mine, then the darts went to Clare, so it's all down to the backgammon... I ...

And a clearer view

Here's another view out of the window, not through the boozy vision of the wireless camera this time though. Still not a very clear day, and still quite a bit of snow around.Folkestone viewMore in my flickr photos...Not too much to do this weekend, s...

I'm a morning person!!!!

Who was that clown on the train this morning - was it you? He was muttering to himself when there was no-one to talk to, and as soon as anyone sat near him hi gibbered and chattered and got them talking too... this disturbed my sleep. If you're on th...

Squirrels and webcams

Ew, bogus squirrel rat crossbreed... surely that's just got the mange and lost the fur on it's tail though? It's a bit of a scrappy picture, could be some potatoshopping going on too.Also WOO, cheers Andy, got my webcam up and running in the end - I ...

Fitter, happier, more productive

I'm not falling into the trap of making resolutions, but I am going to try and get a few more things sorted. Had a fairly productive Christmas, so why not continue in this vein? Oh yes, spurred on by my new toilet seat, here's what I'm achieving...We...

Belated Merry Christmas!

We do have a lot of snow here today, this is from lst year though - got to do some downloading and jigging about to get the pics off my camera, and some setting up to get my new christmas camera online; got it working wiredly (for a few minutes yeste...

Habitat Radius Oak Dining Table

More Habitat Radius Oak Furniture, this dining table. Far too big for us, and optimistically priced I'd say at �490. Got some new bargain offers from Amazon too, PSP Giga Pack with 4 games at �310, it'd be great if you could pick your own games, but ...

LOST on the IPAQ

Watched a new episode of LOST on the little computer yesterday, and it all worked really well. This finally feels like I'm getting some proper use out of this thing! I bought it mostly for it's inbuilt wifi, but I've not used that very much, I kept f...

My last Friday, Saturday and Sunday as a single man

I feel I have messed up a bit. My last weekend as a single man was spent partly shopping and mostly sat at home watching DVDs, how sad. Still, it was good. Friday we stayed in for some reason, we were planning to do one or other of our last remaining...

Can I get one of these?

Not sure what for yet but I think I need a Linksys WVC54GUK Wireless-G Internet Video Camera. Froogle says Amazon has the best deal, I might just go for it - be nice to see the view out of my kitchen window from my desk at work!...
