OK we have the stream up and running. I will leave it on pretty much all day. I can't promise it will be more than a boring static camera but will try and pan around a bit and maybe get some DR1 legends to mug for the camera after they are drunk etc.

Right before the auction I will temporarily take the stream down to set it up to record an archive so people that missed it can chek it out. . . . .dawn. . . .lol.

Rumor has it we are over $5,000 already with the auctio and that rocks!

That is the link to view the stream. Let us know how it looks. I have seen some problems with opera browser and in even fewer cases FireFox but if you use IE you should be good to go!

I know Jan will watch all day and I hope you all are jealous that we are here sucking down ice cold Presidentes. . . . .even if it is raining every damn day;-)

It may be here. Eddy has a PC viewing the stream and displaying on TV and that may be bogging us down. I will look into it and if it is I will ask him to shut it down. Thanks for letting us know! We are sort of running blind here if we can't view the "live" strem without causing problems.

Am I missing something? There are some images of people on the page but are these the webcast? No sound.

Can you scan out on the street and really send me off the deep end.

We are doing some tweaking as the stream keeps hanging. I have stepped down the bandwidth a bit and we'll see if that helps. You guys are our eyes and ears so keep us informed of any problems etc.

what web browser?
Some people have had problems with firefox. . . .myself included. It works in IE, Netscape and sometimes firefox. Only tried once in opera and didn't work. Robert couldn't view in firefox on the mac. . . .

I truly thank you for doing this...I know it's a pretty thankless job and a lot of work, but it means a lot to people like me...nostalgia... Maybe I should call a couple of Angel's cousins to get over there, and I can at least see them...but then I'd probably have to cry, and since I'm still at work, I can't go there.

Chiri, mine opens up right away, and I can see everything. I don't know much about computers, but maybe a firewall is blocking yours?
