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 ...

Great weekend (belated weeekend-o-blog)

Great as in really good and great as in just enormous, fitted quite a lot in. Clare was out in London Friday night, and had got a hotel so I was planning to meet her later and we'd stay over so as to have a nice Saturday there too. Work is busy as ev...

A rare night out in London tonight

Meeting a friend here after work before meeting Clare later, and staying in a hotel, how decadent. Tomorrow, lunching and shopping.Camera update: it just sent me an email, the first in days. Always a bit nervy receiving a mail saying "motion detected...

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...

RE: And the camera's working at last

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.

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...

Is it still the Three Mackerel?

It has had more names than that in just the few years I've been here, it seems jinxed... It was Nostalgia Bar a fifties themed bar just before it was Euphoria I think. I've only liked one of the incarnations in recent years, when it had the hexagonal...

It is about the Whole World Cafe in the Old high street

when you go in the cafe you do not know what to do i.e self serve or be sit and be served.. it turns out it depends on the mood of the owner. The eldery Irish lady seemed bored to be there but i did order my food which was hard work as the black boar...

Over the top door staff

I was removed from marthas because i asked a chap in a kilt if it was true that it was tradional for scots not to wear underwear under their kilts. I think this was harsh and ridiculous, and only came about because he "knew" management, i am a sia li...

Hectic day at work today

I think it's all going well though. Still playing with Google Chrome, not sure I will choose it over Firefox though, where is the "home" button? Also I like all the plugins in Firefox, how long before Google Chrome introduces something like that? The...

A week of technological disasters

My week of technological disasters goes from bad to worse. Lost the camera (it still has not turned up yet), and as previously mentioned the only hard drive on our PC is corrupted. I got the Windows XP disks and tried recovering it, but no joy, so or...

Sandbanks Restaurant, The Pavilion, Wear Bay Road - Sat 23rd Aug

I haven't written one of these reviews for a while and, to be honest, I wondered whether I ever would again. There are only so many times you can be bothered to write something about crap food served by people who don't give a damn about good food o...

Tree blown down in front of Kalala

You wouldn't want to have been sat outside The Bank Bar today. Came across this on my way home today, looks like it can only just have happened. If you have a dinner booked at Kalala tonight, I think you'll be using the side entrance......

Was as we expected, maybe hotter, certainly smellier than I would have liked. We spent the evening secretly wishing they would play some songs that we knew - not necessarily Darkness songs, but maybe some cheeky covers, tipping their hat to their ref...

Have a look at Amsterdam

Just a little panoramic swoop of a nice and Amsterdammy bit of Amsterdam. There's a canal, there's a windmill, there are probably prostitutes too if you squint hard enough: Some more pictures here didn't really take the camera out much....

RE: Gone Ape

That looks GREAT - I like how you are suppressing all your panic just to look cool for the camera. Was expecting some comedy-crashing-into-a-tree moment but it didn't appear. Oh, and get a haircut.

Gone Ape

Went to Go Ape at Leeds Castle on Friday, bit of a work jolly. None of the pictures or video really came out that well, but here is me on a zip line / death slide / flying fox.It was great! Some pictures to come too.As a reward for watching my video...

They HEART Folkestone, I HEART Folkestone

These guys love Folkestone, they have made these, tiny heart head, uh, THINGS. Clearly it's more I HEART NY than anything else, but I'd still like to believe there's a little piece of my pants in there - Clare's mum made me these in 2002:That was bac...

Famous people who have lived in Folkestone

I'm looking for help online with a puzzle that a friend at work has set, it relates to a famous grave and plaque in Folkestone somewhere. No joy yet, but I did find this PDF of Folkestone Town Crier (the newsletter of the town council). It has a cros...

Canterbury, yesterday

RE: Folkestone double death plunge smash horror tragedy!

I agree, darkmoonsider. I think it is inappropriate to 'feel sorry for' someone who has committed suicide. I do feel sorrow/care/concern for you and the other witnesses (who, I can promise, the young lady had no wish to hurt) and also for her family ...

Water Rats Theatre

plus support from Jesus and Marychain's sister.

Electric Ballroom

Went with an old workmate, got drunk before the gig and I think I went home as soon as the band came on.

The Lyceum Theatre

Fairly bland sets of Tony Ferrino and possibly Alan Partridge, but warm up came from Simon Pegg.

Reading Alleycat

Some ill advised comments about swastikas saw the band fall right down before the signed goodies I got this day became worth anything... here's to a revival!
