For those of you not coming (sorry, Chet) to Sawlex, Jeff and I have plans to keep you informed. I will be posting stories and pictures from Sawlex directly from the Forestry Forum booth in the exhibit hall. These will be posted on my weblog, Tree Trends, and I will put links to each story in this thread. We will also try to set up a webcam for live pictures. So, check this thread during Sawlex for the latest!

Thanks to Jeff and to Ted Hugger for helping set this up.

That sounds like a lot of fun, but scarey at the same time.  I mean, I'll never live it down if the webcam catches me picking my nose or something. :o :-[

yeah.. I'm sure I've got a little freeware program here someplace...   ??? ::)
I just need to point it at the webcam page, it watches for when the pic changes, and saves a copy, you just end up with hundreds of jpgs with time / date names in a folder. Sort thru em later looking for the incrimanating ones. ;)
If you let me know where the webcam page is going to be I'll run a test on it when I get a chance.

Cheers

Ian, the webpage can be accessed using the link above next to news that says "Forestry Forum Webcam"

Also, the photo should be available here when set up. What you will see right now is the webcam set up as a test pointing at my driveway.

Way to go Jeff and all, I would have like to went but will be out of town that weekend and the following week, this will give me the next best thing to being there.

DanG

 I just looked and there is a WM towing the truck around.:D  DanG is probably right about the truck not working. ;D

Uh, Jeff, don't they make you lift your arm and rotate your wrist and stuff like that in PT?  Seems to me you could practice all that with a tub of IC in front of you.  'Course you could forget about ever gettin' in the truck again  ;D

Isn't it going to be hard for you to keep an eye on Ianab?
I mean the time differance and all, or does the program have some type of timer?

Ianab

Recorder is running now.  ;)

It looks at the pic every 30 seconds, but only downloads / saves if the time stamp on the file has changed. So I'll just leave it running, if the camera doesn't update it just loops untill something happens.

If you didnt make it your missing out!

Got to run the Peterson mill today!  More to come.  Time to eat!

Good evening. We have arrived near Niles and are ready for the morning. Nice to see that some of you are here. Kirk, I am really jealous that you got your hands on the Peterson already. Tomorrow it will probably be like Disneyland - everyone in line for the favorite rides.

I have started up the Tree Trends Sawlex blog. Just go to Tree Trends Sawlex for updates. Of course, I don't have much to say until tomorrow morning!
