Double Vision

Tue, 28 Mar 2006 13:44 GMT

It's been a little while since an update, because we've been busy outside shuffling things around. The chickens are now in their new home, and the sheep have been moved around a bit so the mums-to-be are on their own and can be checked on and fed more.

I've also just bought another webcam since our dry run with the chickens in the stable showed that we need two cameras to cover the stable properly. After lambing, we're going to move one of the cameras into the new chicken house and make HenCam a permanent feature.

Until the next shuffle (when we'll sort out the stable for lambing properly) you can now keep an eye on both the chickens and the sheep with LambCam and HenCam.

New Webcam

My new webcam arrived - it's cheap and cheerful, wireless and wired lan with night vision and audio, with a built in webserver. I got it from gadspot after seeing some on e-bay, it's a NC1000-W10.

Should be just the job for the return of lambcam this year.

New TV

Now that the lounge is nearly finished (it has windows, doors, power, but still no lights or carpet), we've started buying things to go in it, including a new 50" TV.

Turns out it's quite hard to take a decent photo of a TV, but I had a go anyway just so you can see roughly what it looks like.

BTW: If Sony ever go into the flat-pack furniture business, then I think IKEA should watch out - the stand was really well built and the instructions and labelling of all the individual bolts was really impressive (although I probably shouldn't be impressed by that sort of thing).
