Pan and Tilt Camera - Installed and Operational - Review

Pan and Tilt Camera - Installed and Operational - Review

On the Deep Lake page I have installed an Mcam 100 Motion Digital Web Camera.  Created by a Korean company,  this camera features 180 degree Pan and 100 degree tilt controlled remotely via the Internet.  It really allows me to enjoy my lake view when I am away traveling for business or when I’m at our other [...]

CA e-Trust Likely Issuing False Positives…

Much to my surprise I opened up a web page to Projects Possible this morning and I was greeted with a Virus Infection alert.  I was quite surprised and then began to wonder if somehow through my comments I was being infected.   I started a web search and what I found is that there is [...]

Windows Boot - Starting Programs in MY Order with the Delays I Need!

Here on Projects Possible I run multiple webcams and they are all on a single PC.  The Pan and Tilt camera runs a server that allows remote web control of that camera.  The others run in a “capture” program that grabs the images and uploads them to the blog on a periodic basis.   The problem [...]

Can Someone Explain MySpace to Me?

Can Someone Explain MySpace to Me?

I don’t mean in the literal sense of things… I know what it is and I even have an account.  What I don’t fully understand is the whole why of it.  Perhaps someone could shed some light on this for me?

WordPress Bloggers - New Version do I NEED It?

WordPress Bloggers - New Version do I NEED It?

I opened my WordPress Admin Dashboard this morning and was notified of a new update.  I read what Westi had to say on his blog WordPress 2.3.2 in Detail and while I do use Drafts I can’t help but wonder if it is worth the effort to update when the 2.4 version of WordPress is scheduled for [...]

Creating a Manageable Work Breakdown Structure

Creating a Manageable Work Breakdown Structure

In looking at the projects that I work on there could literally be thousands of small little tasks in the jigsaw puzzle we call a project.  The tasks could range from simple little 20 or 30 minute things, to tasks that may require days or even weeks to complete.  At one time, I went down the road of [...]

Review - National Treasure - Book of Secrets

Review - National Treasure - Book of Secrets

We went and saw this movie the night it was released and I can honestly say that for a sequel they did a pretty good job.  I found it just as entertaining as the first movie and it kept my attention for the full 2 hours.  The plot was a bit predictable and seemed a [...]

Looking for Online Auction Seller Software

I have been a seller on eBay for a number of years and have dabbled a little bit with books on Amazon.  What I am looking for now is some GOOD auction management software.    I’ve tried quite a few different things in both the online and local environments including: Merlin, Auctionwatch, Auctionworks, Mr.Lister, and Shooting [...]

Blog Oh! Blog Custom WordPress Theme Contest

No, NOT ME… I can tweak a WordPress theme a bit but there is no way I could even begin thinking about doing a custom theme for anyone.  I leave that up to the experts and one of those experts is Jai over at blogohblog.com who is running a contest for a custom theme giveaway. (This post [...]
