Introducing Bunnycam...
So for the last few days I’ve been working on installing a camera in my rabbits hutch as well as writing all the software to run it. I can now officially announce that Bunnycam is live at http://www.cake-spoon.com/cam It’s still kind-of BETA so report any bugs and please share it around... Flash Audio Notifications In Javascript...
For the chatbox on the new DFTBA Forum I needed to implement a method for a Javascript function to trigger an audio notification. I thought about using HTML5 but realized that not all the target browsers would be compatible so I ended up going for a Flash based version. I’m making this available for free download including all source and a demonstration file. The player can trigger 14 different audio notifications all taken from Mac OS/X Snow Leopard. They can be triggered in less than a line of javascript in your code and can be triggered from onclick, onkeypress... Testing Rabbicam...
Some of you may or may not know that over the last few weeks I have been working on an interactive pan/tilt webcam in my rabbits hutch (See here). Today I have been testing all the software and I thought I would share a few screengrabs of the camera =)I’m hoping to put Rabbicam live within the next few weeks. Big thanks to @nathanknz for all his help and letting me use his mJPEG proxy... Twitter Streaming API in the real world...
Overview:- A script running on the “Host” computer is linked in with Daslight Virtual Controller. A USB interface links Daslight to a single, RGB, DMX theatrical spot light capable of producing over 1,500 unique colors. The script searches the Twitter API for the terms ‘Red’, ‘Green’ or ‘Blue’. Any tweets containing these words are displayed on the prompt and link to Daslight triggering the relevant scene thereby lighting the fixture in that color. If a tweet contains more than one color then both scenes will be... XPPY – A Multi-URL shortener...
So I just launched a new site – XPPY.net Its a URL shortening service for Twitter that allows you to shorten multiple URLs into a single link, thus saving you characters in your tweets and making it easier to send multiple links. The site is still in its BETA stages but it has many features including a powerful API for use in your projects. Want to see how XPPY works? Click here to open multiple web pages from one link. Enjoy... Rabbicam Is Coming!!!!!...
As you will see from the endless blurb on the About page. I used to run something called GPC which was a webcam pointed at my guinea pigs so you could see them going about their guinea pig business (Mostly eating and sleeping). I decided that I wanted to bring back the live webcam so I present to you my new idea… RABBICAM!!! For those of you who are not familiar with the concept of words, this is going to be a live webcam pointed at my rabbit. But its going to be better than that. I have bought an outdoor, wireless, night vision, pan/tilt/zoom IP camera and I’m... NEW PLUGIN THINGY!!!...
A while ago I had wanted to make a Wordpress plugin that automatically got videos from Youtube using the API and put them into a Wordpress blog feed but I never got round to it. Recently however my friend posted this tweet and so I decided that I might actually get of my ass and develop it. It didn’t take as long as I had expected and was finished within a couple of days and now its up on the Wordpress.org extensions directory as well as the SVN. You can read more about the plug-in and get it from http://www.cake-spoon.com/wp-tube Enjoy...Bunnycam
