I was a little busy today. I have a spare laptop, not a very good one, but it runs windows xp. So I took the laptop and added this old webcam to it today. It didn’t load the driver for it, but fortunately I had a cd with the driver on it laying aroound, and once I found it, and installed it, the webcam worked beautifully. With it I went to my Ustream.tv account and updated it. WWW.ustream.tv is a website where anyone can broadcast live video over the web. It’s a beautiful thing, and so now I have the puppies streaming live out to anyone who wants to see them. It works as long as the camera is on, and the connection is up. I’ve had a couple disconnects, but most of the time it seems to be working great. You can see it at www.specialbob.com/springers/ .

      I added www.pownce.com to my personal page at www.specialbob.com/personal/personal.html . It’s a website that offers it’s users to share files and notes and a couple other things, via the net. Right now it is limited, requiring you to have an invitation to join, but the word is, it’s a pretty useful site to be a part of.

     I added a link for an online currency converter to my Online Apps page. The URL is http://www.xe.com/ucc/ so check it out and bookmark it if you travel alot or just want access to a currency converter for whatever reason.

     I added a website that has Owners Manuals for hundreds, if not thousands, of consumer items. If you have a TV, DVD player or something you would like the owners manual for, check out www.usersmanualguide.com and see if they have your model, in your language.

     Last, but not least, I added www.xdrive.com. They offer 5 Gigs of free online storage. Check them out.

           That’s it for now, have fun surfing!!
