eBirdseed.com Cam is Back!

Hi all,

Well, it wasn't pretty, but the eBirdseed.com bird cam is back. Before another word is typed, thanks go out to Shane Croft at PcWinTech.com. I can't speak to all of their software, but I can address Shane's support on a piece of his freeware ("Simple Port Forwarding"...) Outstanding from every angle. No more and no less. Shane, bud, I owe you a beer.

Onward...

So here's the deal about the eBirdseed.com cam... For the life of me I couldn't get the puppy to work. I spent seven days and nine pages of notes trying to get the bugger to stream so that you could see it... Nope. Finally, I ran across Shane, and all systems are go. Add to that a little wood butchery on the house and the cable is tucked in nice and cozy...

Now the problems swirl around stuff like focus, location, and day/night (check out the possum below!)

Yeah, aside from his white face, he's pretty much indistinguishable... But just wait till I get the camera located properly. This is going to be cool.

Lots of work to do, so I'll see you on the flip side by the feeders,
