Stream De-Activated

[justphil]

Dimitris, I wish I could answer your problem but I understand it. Every static image of our favourite place is likely to be 40kbytes or more. Then 25+ frames per second multiplied, even compressed by mp3/4 it is a helluva lot of data. Then they leave the stream on their desktop 24/7...... 2000 odd users..... hopeless as a service provider.

From my Arillas persona though, I still love the 1 fps view. It gives me daily peace and joy. The very fact it moves gives me comfort. Somehow the static pictures are less real. Even an animated gif might make me feel better. 1500 km away, I am always there but when I am really there, I feel 0km away from home.

Better shut up now

Don't worry Dimitris, I only see the Live webcam when I go to my Google search page.

The difference is that when you go to it via the forum, you know you are going to see it, but when it appears on the search page its just a nice feeling to get a glimpse of it when you are in the middle of something else. It can be a distraction, but a very nice distraction.

I hope that makes sense

Looks good to me

I have the weather cam on my blog, does that effect you Dimitris?

OMG'D Dimitris...I never gave it a thought until I read Ejra's post...I have a link on my website.  Let me know if it affects your bandwidth.

My dear girls,
Don;t you worry! linking to the webcam or the webcam's picture does not effect the bandwidth  we are talking about.
also, it would n;t effect my bandwith if you place a picture of me on your bedroom's wall.


Cheers,

Ha, ha excellent Dimitris but it would have to jostle for space with the one already there
