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... 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’.

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.

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
