Hey folks. I'm trying to test and debug an application in development, and I need the assistance of someone with a working webcam who can log on and allow the application to pick up streaming video. If you've got the ability to stream video from your connection, and would like to volunteer, please catch me on AIM under OffLead2.

Thanks ever so much.
Jen

Offlead works for a cybersex outfit now. But I hear the pay is good.

Surely I'm not the only Hatracker with a webcam? *sigh*

I promise, I shall not harm anyone's innocense. I merely need to see whether or not the subscriber stream WORKS. Honest...no bad stuff! [Big Grin]

I don't personally know anyone with a webcam. Other than offlead.

I own a webcam. It just sucks [Smile]

Posted by Slash the Berzerker (Member # 556) on :

Then help lead out, dude.

Wrong kind of suck, Slash.

I've never seen the appeal of webcams. That said, the college has a few, but they're all considered "mission critical" for some daft reason -- despite the fact that no one who values his time would watch them for any extended period -- and consequently are not available for software testing.

The only real use I can see for them is cheap videoconferencing.

we, uh, took one apart and used it to take digital images through the telescope.

i have one, lead, but i'm not sure where...

I drop kicked mine so many times that it doesn't work anymore. >_<

Posted by Lead (Member # 918) on :

LOL...y'all are a hoot. [Big Grin]

This is indeed a video-conferencing type application I'm testing. I've been doing Flash Communications Server development for the contract job I'm on. Sweet, impressive stuff, actually. I think I have it working, but did want to test it with someone other than myself, before I wrap up the small details of the application and hand it over to my employer.

I'm working through the end of this week on this, basically night and day. I leave for 2 weeks of vacation Friday afternoon, but until then, if anyone has a working cam and wants to help a gal out, I'd be mighty appreciative. [Smile]

Sorry Lead. If I were home I could help you out but I'm not in South Carolina. I'm in Arkansas for a couple more weeks at my Girlfriends place getting things ready to move here on this end and she took her webcam off the other day.
