The March 2005 Gallery is now posted! Just when you
thought there would be no more galleries posted, I have done it! Fooled you and
posted one more. I'm going to try and get caught up, may take me until this time
next year though - Cheers & Enjoy - Brian.
February 2005 Gallery Posted (02 July 2005)

December 2004 Gallery Posted (05 April 2005)
December 2004's Gallery has finally been posted. Still
running behind... Cheers! - Brian.
New Webcam Added (13 March 2005)
The Sleep Cam has been added! I was doing a trial of this
cam last week and it seems that everything is working, so I have added it to the
menu. The actual equipment is a Sony Handi Cam with night vision which used to
be "The Beagle Cam". The Beagle Cam is now a ViCam. Later today I will
be mounting these two cams more permanently in their new positions... Cheers! - Brian.
November 2004 Gallery Posted (10 March 2005)
The November 2004 Gallery has been posted. Stay tuned for
some changes with the cams... Cheers! - Brian.

Best wishes for the upcoming year to one and all... Cheers! - Brian.
September 2004 Gallery Posted (19 December 2004)
Happy Holidays everyone! The September 2004 Gallery has
finally been posted. And now back to my Christmas shopping... Cheers! - Brian.
August 2004 Gallery Posted (07 November 2004)
Another gallery posted... We took Keara out for a long
walk today, most of the leaves are off the trees now, and despite the warm
sunshine, a cold wind was reinforcing winter's approach. November is my LEAST
favorite month!!! On the bright side, we just returned from a wonderful vacation
to sunny and warm Cancun. We had a wonderful trip, and hope the great memories
will tide us over 'till spring, or our next trip, which ever comes first... Cheers! - Brian.
July 2004 Gallery Posted (14 October 2004)
I'm making headway in clearing up the backlog of Cam
Galleries that need to be built. July 04 is now on the site, leaving August and
September to do... and we're almost halfway through October AHHRRG!!! - Cheers! - Brian.
June 2004 Gallery Posted (04 October 2004)
I'll bet you all thought I had given up on doing
Galleries? No, but, I am very late in publishing them, and it seems as though
I'm falling farther and farther behind. It's been a busy summer with my new job
and I have been feeling very lazy too! Well perhaps the cool weather coming will
get me back in gear... Until the next update... Cheers! - Brian.
May 2004 Gallery Posted (02 August 2004)
OK May's gallery is posted, and I will start working of
the June and July ones soon, but, summer is best spent out enjoying the nice
weather. The new Job is keeping me busy too! Over the past month Keara has been
recovering from having a slipped disc in her neck, so now that she is better we
are able to start taking her on some longer walks. Today we visited the Toronto
Islands and spent a very pleasant afternoon walking and taking in the sights!
Cheers! - Brian.
Cam Changes (18 July 2004)
As you may have noticed, the Work Cam is no longer
operational. I moved to a new job at a different hospital and there is no way
for me to send cam images over the network at work now. The new environment is
much more secure than at my old job.
I have set up a new cam at home which I call Spot Cam. The
Spot Cam is not a 24 hour a day 7 day a week cam. It's more of a spontaneous
cam. If there's something interesting going on, the Spot Cam can be used to
focus in on the event. It's also a bit of an experimental cam, so I can capture
new angles and views of our life. Hope you enjoy the new cam! - Cheers! - Brian.
April 2004 Gallery Posted (30 June 2004)
I have started a new job recently, so have had little time
to work on the site. I can't promise that I will be up-to-date with the
galleries any time soon, given the great weather and all the hiking Thom and I
want to do. Anyway, the latest gallery is now available... Hope you enjoy it :-)
Cheers! - Brian.
March 2004 Gallery Posted (08 May 2004)
Howdy! Well it finally happened, another gallery has been
posted and I'm about to start on the next month's images. Here in Toronto spring
is well underway, with the leaves coming out and the grass regaining it's
emerald green glow, so typical of spring in Ontario. Thom and I have been out
hiking a few times this spring , but this weekend it's raining :-( Oh well at
least it's not snowing! Well, back to the sorting of April's images...Cheers! - Brian.
February 2004 Gallery Posted (29 March 2004)
I have been very busy at work and very lazy at home, so
everything is behind schedule again... Oh well at least this gallery is up
before the end of the month. After having worked with the new Creative Nx Pro
cam for a while I decided that it is not suited to our environment. It's OK as a
face cam, for close up shots etc., but it does not do well in low or unusual
lighting conditions. It does have good colour saturation, which is typical of
CMOS type cameras, but, the image rendered is not as sharp or detailed as a CCD
type cam. So, I located and purchased a few new Vicams (3Com Home Connect cams)
and have replaced the office cam and the new mobile cam using the 3Com/Vicam.
Spring is making it's debut here, finally, and we have already been out hiking
once. The woods sure are still and gray looking, but you can sense that is about
to change, everywhere you look there are signs that life is about to go into
high gear! Can't wait!!! Cheers! - Brian.
New Cam Installed (08 February 2004)
Today I set up a new cam which I am calling "Mobile
Cam". This may not be permanent however, I wanted to test a new webcam, the
Creative Nx Pro as our old Vicams may give out at any day. I have heard GREAT
things about the Nx Pro and so far they seem to be true. Let me know how you
like the image. Of course this will probably mean we will shuffle some of the
cams around - please be patient if you find the usual views have changed. It is
harder to create good views in our new condo, so we will try out some different
angles. The new Mobile Cam is actually our second mobile... The first is called
Cool Cam, that name is historic and dates back to The name of Thom's original
Vicam (which is still running after five years!!!) Hope you like the changes...
Cheers! - Brian.
January 2004 Gallery Posted (02 February 2004)
OK! I'm up to date! Man, winter can be a boring time of
year, good thing though, since it gives me time to get caught up with gallery
building. Actually things haven't been too boring, but, according to Wiarton
Willy our local ground hog who saw his shadow when he came out today, we are
headed for 6 more weeks of winter... Oh well I can use a few more cold weekends
to clean up my file system before my computer becomes overloaded... And of
course there are other things which cold winter mornings and nights are good
for, right Thom? >8^)... Cheers! - Brian.
December 2003 Gallery Posted (25 January 2004)
Weeeee Haw! the December Gallery has been posted, and that
means I'm up-to-date for the first time in a long while! Feels great and it's a
good way to start off the new year Cheers! - Brian.
November 2003 Gallery Posted (17 January 2004)
We've been on vacation over the New Years Holiday period!
Thom and I went to Costa Rica, which was a great trip. I have been there a
number of times in the past, but it was a first trip for Thom. It was a very
relaxing trip, especially the days spent in Manuel Antonio on the west
coast.
We took lots of pictures, I got a new camera prior to the
trip and wanted to give it a real trial. I am very pleased with it, I was using
a Canon Powershot Pro70 up 'till now, the new one is a Canon Powershot G5. It is
so much more advanced than the old one! Thom is working on a travelogue, a very
time consuming task, but, as you may know, worth waiting for.
I have posted the November Gallery and will be starting to
work on the December one as soon as this note is posted... Cheers! - Brian.
October 2003 Gallery Posted (30 December 2003)
Christmas has come and gone! Yeah!!! now on to some real
fun... New Years!!! The October Gallery is finally in place. HAPPY New Year
Everyone!!! Cheers! - Brian.
September 2003 Gallery Posted (05 November 2003)
Well, I'm beginning to get caught up... the September
gallery has been posted.... The pictures from my office cam appear to
suggest a theme... "Talking with my hands" I have noticed a wide
variety of expressions on my face while at the office, but never noticed before
how much gesturing I do ;-) Cheers! - Brian.
August 2003 Gallery Posted (19 October 2003)
I can't believe I'm still so far behind with these gallery
postings... Oh well I can tell by the shorter colder days and all the leaves
turning colour that I will be spending more time at the computer in the near
future... Lots of cool things happened in August... Thom got theater surround
sound (for the TV) for his Birthday. The air show started and we had a good view
from our living room window, we also had a good view of the Fireworks at the
Canadian National Exhibition. We also had several enjoyable evenings with
friends visiting. Hope you have fun looking at the pics! - Cheers! - Brian.
July 2003 Gallery Posted (13 September 2003)
OK, OK, I know this one is really late, but, summer is in
it's last days here, and , well, you know, we just want to be out side in the
warmth and sunshine instead of huddled in front of the computer screen. So,
anyway, here are the images from July... A month of setting up the decorative
elements and entertaining family and friends in our new home. Now I'm off to
start preparing the August images. Cheers! - Brian.
June 2003 Gallery Posted (06 August 2003)
Well, it's here! the Gallery you have all been waiting
for, the huge the colossal the stupendous MEGA MOVE GALLERY (June 2003 Gallery). One
hundred images of the fun, sweat, toil, heartache, pain, and tender moments of a
major domestic move. Oy Veh! such schmaltz for a bunch of schlepping and
kvetching (?sp). Oh well it's over and done, now back to some real summer
living!
This past weekend Thom and I spent a great long weekend in
Manhattan with our friends Tom and Collin from California. It was a very busy
few days, but we really enjoyed our selves despite mother nature doing her best
to make us wet every time we passed through Times Square. Pictures of this
weekend should be coming by the end of the summer. Cheers! - Brian.
May 2003 Gallery Posted (13 July 2003)
Finally getting back to normal after completing the move
to our new place! I never imagined there could be so much work to do!! We still
have lots to catch up on, the galleries are only on of those things which have
fallen behind schedule.
By the end of May we were busy packing and getting ready
for the move and the all the changes which were to invade our lives! With only a
few days to go before taking possession of the new place the packing seemed more
urgent than it did at the beginning of May. I tried to pace things so that we
would not end up being exhausted. I had several conferences to attend during
May, one of which was in Chicago, Thom came for that trip and we got to see some
sights along with doing the conference. Pictures of that trip will be posted
later in the summer. I also took some time off work to prepare for the
move.
The gallery can't begin to capture the frantic pace of
May, but I hope you will enjoy the images! Cheers! - Brian.
Brian & Thom Moving & April 2003 Gallery Posted (05 May 2003)
April's Gallery is now online. You will notice lots of
boxes lying around the place in the gallery pics, and when you check the cams
online. In March Thom and I found a condo we really like near lake Lake Ontario
on the west side of Toronto, we decided to buy it and move there in June. The
big concern was selling the existing condo, it was the beginning of the war in
Iraq and winter weather was persisting longer than usual. We got a nice sunny
weekend near the end of March and sold the place after only 6 days on the
market!!! What a relief!
Over the next few weeks the scene from the webcams will
change dramatically as we get ready to move. The cams will be off line for
a few days in the first or second weeks of June for the actual move. Stay tuned
for all the moving madness, and a first look at the new place sometime around
the middle to end of the second week of June. The May Gallery may not appear on
time, it depends on how busy I get with moving... Wish us luck! Cheers! - Brian.
March 2003 Gallery Posted (19 April 2003)
One more gallery hits the net! The large section in the
middle of the gallery with pictures of a group of women in our living room is
from a day I had our senior team from the office over for lunch and a
"reflective practice" session Hope you enjoy the latest gallery.
Cheers! - Brian.
February 2003 Gallery Posted (09 March 2003)
I can't belive it's already the 9th of March! We still have tonnes of snow and ice every were and it's still extremely cold. Well this evening I have posted the February 2003 Gallery. I hope you enjoy it Cheers! - Brian.
Behind the Scenes "Code Clean-Up"- Posted
(24 February 2003)
I have been working on cleaning up some messy coding on my site and I hope it will make the site better, if not visibly, at least behind the scenes. Please let me know if you find something which is not working. Thanks! - Brian.
Thom's Travelogue of Our Maritime Vacation 2002 - Posted
(03 February 2003)
Thom has laboured for a long while to tell the story of
our trip to the Maritimes last August. The result is a well illustrated
travelogue of our journeys and adventures on the east coast! Click here
to view this latest travelogue! Enjoy!!! - Brian.
January 2003 Gallery Posted (02 February 2003)
With all the changes to the infrastructure over the past
short while I was not sure I would get to the gallery pics this weekend, but,
here they are! Hard to believe January's already gone!!! Here's to a great
February!!! Cheers - Brian.
Cool Cam On the Move (31 January 2003)
More cam changes to pass along. We recently added a
wireless access point to our network at home. This enabled us to put Thom's old
laptop, from his university days, back to work as a wireless image server for
the Cool Cam images. It's interesting since Thom's original Web Cam Site was run
from this machine. The outcome of this development is that you should find the
Cool Cam pointed in a variety of new directions in the future giving you a
better look into corners of our place you may not have seen before. Hope you
enjoy the change of scenery ;-) Cheers! - Brian.
New Cam Added (29 January 2003)
Hello everyone! We have recently made a change to our
cams. The "Sol Cam" has been moved into the main office area and faces
the opposite direction to the existing "Desk Cam". I am calling the
new cam "Desk Cam 2". Since we are in the office most of the time we
decided that this is a better place for the former "Sol Cam" which
seldom captured images of any activity. The combination of the two desk cams
will provide a more complete view of the office. Cheers! - Brian.
New Photo Album Page - Boston Trip 2001 (12 January 2003)
I finally got around to generating some new content! Over
a year ago now I went to Boston on a business trip. Thom joined me on the
weekend and we had a great time exploring Boston and Provincetown! Check
out the new pages Cheers!
- Brian.
Version 2.5 of Brianwp.net Launched (04 January 2003)
Hi Folks! Well the "new" version of the site is
now online. The new menu system is able to grow without adding significantly to
the loading time of the pages. The old menu really SLOWED things down. Please
let me know if you find things that don't work properly. I have tested this menu
in every browser I could get my hands on and it works well in every one. Cheers!
- Brian.
December 2002 Gallery Posted (03 January 2003)
Happy New Year to one and all!!! The final gallery for
2002 has been posted - Hey, not bad, I did it in only 3 days ;-) I'm now
beginning work on the change to the new menu system. Cheers & All the best
for 2003! - Brian.
November 2002 Gallery Posted (14 December 2002)
I worked hard all afternoon and got the November Gallery
completed today too!!! - B.
October 2002 Gallery Posted (14 December 2002)
I know, I know, its LATE, but it's finally done. This past
few weeks I have been working on a small renovation project. I have been
building a glass ware cabinet in our hallway, (you won't see it on cam)...
Anyway I have hardly touched the computer in the past three weeks, so, now I'm
working on getting up-to-date. Next - the November Gallery, and then a small
site change. My menu system will be replaced by one which can grow without
taking so long to load. And, I'm still planning on getting some new content into
the site. I hope you will all have a happy Holiday Season! Cheers! - Brian.
September 2002 Gallery Posted (22 October 2002)
Well it's here, have a look and enjoy the new September
2002 Gallery. Cheers! - Brian.
New Journal Pages Posted (04 October 2002)
Recently, Thom and I took a glass blowing course at the
Craft Studio of Harbour Front Centre here in Toronto. I have posted a few new
Journal pages, with lots of pictures, about our experiences in the course.
Cheers! -
Brian.
August 2002 Gallery Posted (21 September 2002)
I tried really hard to get this gallery finished earlier,
but, I have been feeling very lazy lately. Maybe I'm just doing too much... No,
probably not... Hmmm, well I have been going to the gym more and trying to loose
all this fat.... No, I don't think that's the right excuse either... Could it be
all the hiking we have been doing on the weekends?... That a possibility... But
really I think it's because we've been having such a glorious summer... It just
keeps on being nice :-) I'm not complaining!!! Enjoy the gallery - Cheers! -
Brian.
July 2002 Gallery Posted (17 August 2002)
It's been a real struggle to get this gallery ready since
the weather has been so nice, and Thom and I have been trying to absorb as much
summer as possible while it's still here. Anyway, it's done, so I hope you like
it. - Cheers! - Brian.
June 2002 Gallery Posted (10 July 2002)
The June Gallery is online! Now back to enjoying the
summer! ;-)
CHEERS - Brian!
May 2002 Gallery Posted (09 June 2002)
Well, another MONSTER gallery has been posted to the site.
May was a very busy month. Thom and I took a week off to do some renovations
around home, adding some much needed storage space and some display cabinets. I
also got rid of one of the desks from the solarium office and fixed the other
one to stand alone, it had been attached to the desk I got rid of. We also had
company several times, Some Brazilian friends of Thom's and a friend of mine
from Vancouver, with whom I went to High school. So, I hope you are all on High
Speed internet of some kind... If not, sorry... ah, why don't you start loading
the May 2002 Gallery then go make a coffee and come back later. ;-) Cheers -
Brian!
April 2002 Gallery Posted (05 May 2002)
April's Gallery is now online. It's Huge again... Check
out "see no evil, hear no evil and speak no evil" images captured from
the work cam - they're a hoot! Also check out Thom's
new version of his web site. He laboured long and hard over it, with great
results! Cheers - Brian!
March 2002 Gallery Posted (01 April 2002)
The new March 2002 Gallery is now ready for you to see! I
hope you like it! Cheers - Brian!
New Webcam Installed (18 March 2002)
Hi Folks! Today I set up a new cam! I know, I know, but five cams just didn't cover all the spaces we get into. The new cam "Sol Cam" shows the solarium, an area of the condo where we used to do most of our computer activities. When we moved into the new office space the area was left without a cam.
I still have computers out there, in fact I use the area as my computer workshop.
We will be making some changes to the area over the spring so stay tuned to the Sol Cam for the renovations.
Cheers! - Brian.
February 2002 Gallery Posted (03 March 2002)
Hey guys! The February 2002 Gallery is now online...
February! what a month ;-) Cheers - Brian!
Thom's Travelogue of our Vegas Trip Posted (23 February 2002)
Thom has made a wonderful memoir of our recent trip to
Vegas and it's surrounding regions. The travelogue is enhanced by the photos we
took. Check it out
January 2002 Gallery Posted (02 February 2002)
What do you know? The gallery for January is posted; on
time! Cheers - Brian.
October 2001 Gallery Posted (06 January 2002)
Well! It's finally DONE! The galleries are finished!!! I
can't believe it after over a year of being behind, I'm finally 100 % up-to-date
! Yeah!!! Cheers and Happy New Year!!!!! - Brian.
September 2001 Gallery Posted (01 January 2002)
Hey, guess what? I finally have September's gallery up,
and now I'm starting on the last overdue one: October... TTYL - Brian.
December 2001 Gallery Posted (01 January 2002)
As promised previously I have made a big effort to get up
to date with posting of galleries. In the spirit of the New Year, I am posting
the December Gallery "on time" and I hope to have the September and
October 2001 galleries done very soon! The December gallery is the biggest ever
- It was a very busy month!!
Cheers! and Happy New Year one and all!!! - Brian.
Beagle Cam Replaced (26 December 2001)
For the last few months I have been noticing that the
Beagle Cam images have been deteriorating in quality. The Sony Handy Cam
that I have been using is nearly 10 years old, so today, being boxing day, I
went out and bought a new Sony Cam. This one has some cool features like
"Night Shot" which allows images to be captured in the dark, so, you
may see the Beagle Cam doing double duty as a sleep cam.
August 2001 Gallery Posted (10 December 2001)
Steaming right along now I have actually managed to
construct and post the August gallery.
Cheers! - Brian.
November 2001 Gallery Posted (02 December 2001)
I have just posted the November 2001 Gallery! Wow! posted
on time this month. As noted last entry I was trying to come up with a way to
get caught up with my gallery postings. The plan is each day I make sure that
I'm working on the current month's gallery so that it is finished at the end of
the month. The hitch to this plan is that I have August, September and October
to work on in between. I hope to have all these posted be the end of the year...
Hmm... Depends on how busy December is ;-)
Cheers! - Brian.
July 2001 Gallery Posted (17 November 2001)
Well one more gallery constructed, Hmmm... I seem to be
falling further behind... I need a plan...
TTYL - Brian.
June 2001 Gallery Posted (03 October 2001)
Now that summer is over, I thought it was time to get on with the HUGE task of building more galleries. So the June Gallery is here... More on the way...
Cheers! - Brian.
May 2001 Gallery Posted (12 August 2001)
Hi Folks! The May gallery is finally
on-line, on to the June files! Enjoy your summer! We are!! - Cheers - Brian.
April 2001 Gallery Posted (01 July
2001)
It's amazing how a busy life can "get in the
way" of your plans. Not that I'm complaining I'm having a great time
traveling and entertaining etc... Life with Thom gets better and better! Well,
it does limit the time available to work on the galleries, the April one is
finally posted. I hope you like it!
There's also whole bunch of photos of recent trips and
events which I'd like to upload to the site... if I can find the time ;-} Stay
tuned!!!
brianwp.net Version 2 LAUNCHED (04 June
2001)
Today I have posted version 2 of my site. It still needs a lot of "tweeking" but all
the basics are there and working.
This is really a "New Look" more than a completely redeveloped site. The menu
functions ARE completely new and designed to eliminate multiple layers of browsing. I hope this means finding what you are looking for more directly.
As time goes on I plan to refine the design and change or add content.
PLEASE give me your feedback!
Cheers! - Brian.
March 2001 Gallery Added (26 May
2001)
The Mach 2001 Gallery has been loaded! March was a
month of fun and visits from friends from out of town! We had the honour of
visits from Tom and Brian from California, Gordon from Nova Scotia, Ken from
Toronto, and Jan Harm & Sjoerd from Amsterdam! WOW it was Great to see all
those friends! Recently Thom and I have been making some changes to the
"behind the scenes coding" of our sites to improve their operation and
viability. If anyone is having any problems with the sites let
us know.
Cheers! - Brian.
Link to Thom & Brian's Trip to
Europe (16 May
2001)
Recently Thom and I had a wonderful
trip to Holland with a day trip to Belgium. Thom has written a great travelogue
to tell about our adventures and he has illustrated it with photos we took along
the way. Check it out from the link above or from the link in my Journal page.
Cheers! - Brian.
February 2001 Gallery Added (06 May
2001)
Oh Boy! A trip to Europe and the
coming of spring really though me off my already delinquent schedule
for preparing cam galleries! I have just completed uploading the February
Gallery and I am now going through over 480 photos I took overseas to contribute
to Thom's travelogue watch for the travelogue soon on Thom's
site I will then work on March and April galleries and the new site
design... Hmmm... When do I get time to breath ;-) - Cheers! - Brian.
January 2001 Gallery Added (31
March 2001)
OK, Well after a very busy month or
two I finally settled down to do the January 2001 Gallery! I have also started
work on the new version of Brianwp.net I hope to have the new version ready by
the end of spring - Stay tuned!!! Cheers - Brian.
December 2000 Gallery Added (06
February 2001)
December's gallery has finally been
posted!! As well a special cam pic gallery
of renovations Thom and I did during the month. I hope you all had a
Wonderful holiday season and a Happy New Year. This year I would like to work on
a new version of brianwp.net - making it faster to load and easier to navigate.
Any ideas you have to contribute would be most welcome. TTYL - Brian.
November 2000 Gallery Added (07
January 2001)
OK! the November 2000 Gallery has
been added. I know, I know! It's really late, but, we have been concentrating on
getting all our stuff integrated and settled in the condo. I hope to do the
December Gallery in the coming week. Happy New Year and CHEERS! - Brian.
October 2000 Gallery Added (19
November 2000)
The October 2000 Gallery was added
today, check it out! The moving and reorganizing continues and it looks like
some redecorating will begin in the next few weeks.
Jul-Sep 2000 Galleries Added (07
November 2000)
Well, FINALLY - The July, August
and September 2000 Galleries are up. October's gallery is on the way within a
few days... I'm really busy these
days so thanks for your patience! - Cheers!
Thom and Me... (26 October 2000)
As you have probably noticed there has been a lot of activity around my apartment lately. This is because my partner Thom has moved in and we are in the process of finding spaces for everything. It is a very exciting time for us, and you are invited to tune and check out our progress.
Most of you also know Thom's site "ThomOnTheNet". Unfortunately Thom's Web Host Openminded.com has recently ceased operations resulting in Thom's site being down for several days. Thom's site will now be hosted at brianwp.net the new URL is: http://brianwp.net/Thom Please note that it will take us a while to get all the features and links working properly. Thanks for your patience and understanding about this!
With all these changes, I'm still hoping to get my cam galleries up-to-date soon. I hope to work on this over the next few weeks, so check back every so often. :-) Cheers!!!
WorkCam Back Online! (18 October 2000)
Well, it seems there are no shortages in the miracle department! After a lengthy reorganization of our network at the office, my WorkCam is now back on line. I had been considering taking it off my menu altogether, but, yesterday our IT Ops manager was in my office and inquired how the cam was working out. I told him it was still not working, and to my surprise he said "I'll have it working for you today"... He was as good as his word!!!
Favourite Quote Added to the
"About Brian" Section (30 September 2000)
I've been having a great summer,
but unfortunately this has left little time for the site. Lot's of things have
been going on in my life, and I hope to be able to get the time to update the
site more and bring everyone up to date soon!!! In the mean time I have added my
favourite quote to the "About Brian" section. Check it out I live by
this quote and lately it has been very true in my life. Cheers!!!
More Travel & New Gallery (20
July 2000)
I'm on the road again! this time to
Chicago for about a week. I leave on Monday 24 July and come back Friday 28
July! The cam and laptop are going with me so tune in to the Deskcam early
mornings and evenings to catch me in the hotel... Also, the June 2000 cam
gallery has been uploaded - check it out - it's a MONSTER! - Enjoy!!!
Travel Alert! (23 June 2000)
I will be traveling to Vancouver today,
returning late on the 27th. I'll be taking the cam with me, and I expect to be able to be
on line for a few hours each day, a little while in the mornings and longer in the
evenings!

New Gallery Uploaded: (12 May 2000)
Well I finally sorted through all the shots
an put together my April 2000 Gallery! Thanks to all those who sent in their favourite
pics! Check it out on the Gallery Page.
Major System Crash: (11 April 2000)
I recently had a major system crash, lost the entire boot
drive of my main system! Things are just starting to get back to normal, so for the next
little while the image uploads may be interrupted occasionally while I install all the
missing pieces!
Cam Gallery for March now online: (02 April
2000)
The March Cam Gallery is now available for viewing - This is
the first gallery to contain images from the new Desk Cam and Work Cam. I think this gives
a better rounded view of my life. :-)
New Expanded Cam Galleries: (26 March 2000)
The Cam Galleries are now up-to-date. There is a separate
gallery for each month of the year since I started the site. Access all the galleries by
clicking the Cam Galleries button on the main menu.
Recent Cam Shots Feature Expanded: (26 March
2000)
The Recent Cam Shots button will now take you, by default, to
the recent Beagle Cam shots with options to go to recent shots pages for the new Desk Cam
and Work Cam.
Cam Refresh Rate: (26 March 2000)
After a month of following my site stats closely I have found
that I will be able to run the cams at a faster refresh rate after all. I have been using
a 45 second refresh rate. Effective immediately the cams will refresh every 30 seconds!!!
Two New Cams: (08 March 2000)
The Webcams Page has been revised and now includes two new
views of my life. The original cam known as The Beagle Cam is the default entry for this
page. I have added a cam which is called the Desk Cam that focuses on activities around my
desk at home. I have also added a cam at my desk at the office. I call this cam the Work
Cam, real creative eh?
Of course each of my 3 cams has a remote window feature, so
you can watch and keep on browsing! I also have buttons on the Webcams page to link you
directly to both of the cams of ThomOnTheNet!
To make room for the new cams I moved the buttons for the Cam
Galleries, the Chat Room and the Recent Cam Shots to the main menu on the left of the
screen. Enjoy! - Brian.
