The BG webcam collection

[insertnickhere]

I thought such a thread would be great so that we can have a list of good, streaming (if possible) webcams from all over the country that are basically free of ads and other nasties one can get while searching for them.

Here are my favourites that currently work

^^ live streaming

^^ not streaming but you can manually refresh it every second for new image. great quality, always available.

i love how camera 1 zooma zooms on people's faces hahaha

[radi6404]

Great thread, it´s virtually going to the cities and watching what people are doing now, MORE!!! The first camera is very fast, almost realtime.

[radi6404]

Just a crotram arrived

[alex.german]

Haha... love it... although cam1 isn't working :(

[radi6404]

for me it was working, I closed it to open another camera and just wanted to open it again and it didn´t load. working again.

People look like cockroaches...we found the missing mass of the Universe! ;)

This is the web cam of Bulgarian Academy Of Science on Moussala (I love it :) ):

^^ :applause:
Природата е страхотна, дори когато всичко е сковано от лед!

[vycanismajoris]

yeah, i can imagine how cold is there right now, although it is sunny and looks like it's hot :)

[just4ivaylo]

That's a hell of a resolution right there. :D

It doesn't work in Chrome though. :(

[insertnickhere]

chrome lol.. it will be beta for 5 years like everything else google ;p patience

probably because the required plugin isnt available in chrome. it happens in opera too at times though i havent tried any links in there lately

[radi6404]

Aren´t there school children in Sofia, watching webcam 1 right now and didn´t see any school kid maybe they are allready in school, the camera is really smooth right now, mabe 5 fps per second, that´s really good bandwith.

[insertnickhere]

i saw one around 7am.. 1.

its unlikely you will see kids in that area though

[radi6404]

OMG, some people are really dumb, wear sunglasses on winter mornings with little sun to look cool, dupeta. Good, people clean the sidewalks! Just saw a few school children.

[alex.german]

Good cam for pedobear....

[radi6404]

More I dream of times I will be like them again, and I don´t know if it will ever happen again.

I haven't had any problems with it though. Internet Explorer stops responding every 5 minutes. Maybe it's Vista though. :D

[insertnickhere]

yep its vista

i dont touch that poison

[radi6404]

He should use firefox, firefox is good, but Insertnickhere, are you dumb or what? Vista is the new OS and you are like the kiddies who say Vista is bad, when XP came out anyone said XP is bad and they will not use it, it will always be the same. Vista is the future until Windows 7 comes out. With Vista you have DirectX 10 and many more advantages you just don´t have with XP. I guess you wont touch a 64 bit OS either. I have 4 GB Ram and that´s why I will install a 64 bit OS next time to be able to use 4 GB of Ram but you surely think 4 Gb are way too much. Better have a big pagefile and swap the files on the thausands of times slower hdd, don´t you?

It is best to have XP and Vista, because XP is definatly not dated allready and many programs run easier on XP still but in future you will need Vista.

[insertnickhere]

Jesus christ you speak as if you actually have a clue.........

Its sad really.

What if i have a goddamn solid state hard drive? Oh wait.. you are the greatest technological messiah to ever grace this planet. Tell you what, stop reading the ads and quoting them, then try to start shit.

[radi6404]

do you think solid state drives can´t be run under Vista, OMG, the drivers primarilly develop the drivers for Vista now. And yes, Insertnickhere, I have a clue, I am not an expert but I know more than you would expect. You think I don´t know what a solid state hard drive is, you really think, OMG. Solid state might become the future in harddrives since it has no moving parts and it will be possible (if not is I don´t know) to reach way higher read and write speeds than even a velocyraptor from western digital. I read somewhere that there are solid state harddrives out there with a read speed of 250 Mb and a write speed of 160 MB which is impressive. Two days ago I bought a great harddisc but not solid state yet, it is a Western Digital caviar 320 Gb 16 MB cache with very good read and write speeds and very little performance drop, I benchmarked it in HD tune pro and I am very happy I bought the Western Digital.

[alex.german]

interesting

[radi6404]

interesting

yes, harddiscs are slow and Windows Vista is not able to store the whole pagefile in the RAM but swaps it onto the harddisc which slows Windows down. Not to talk about Windows XP, there is a readyboost technology where Vista swaps on fast USB sticks but I don´t know any information about that. In future solid state harddics mgiht become standart and someday holographic harddrives. I watched a documentary where they showed they want to invent holographic memory, that would mean superior memory capacity to harddiscs and thausands of times faster access time.

omg what?


I need resources to go towards running the applications, not the OS. You still don't get it and wont because what you use your computers for has nothing to do with what i use mine for.

[radi6404]

Yes, Insertnickhere, you are the pro who uses his computer for scientific expermients.

[insertnickhere]

actually i do. http://www.networkautomation.com/

[zzibit]

does anybody know when the last update of Bulgaria on google earth occurred? I was looking online but couldn't find a schedule of all their recent updates.

regions with good zoom i saw
sofia
varna
burgas
vt
plovdiv
ruse
vratsa

[insertnickhere]

the last major update is around 5 months old now, at least.

[radi6404]

They don´t update regurarly at all, it´s really annoying, I am tired of viewing most stuff in low resolution.

[[s2jc]hyp]

the last update on GE I saw was some mid-res snapshots of the area around the Danube which have the grey yellowish color.

[insertnickhere]

streetview has creeped into italy. in another 40 years, it might reach sofia :o

[radi6404]

I hate when they only add midres textures, because that probably means they wont add high res textures anymore, I am still waiting the whole Rila mountain to be in high res texures but since the geometry of the mountain isn´t righ it will look strange, a program with better mountain geometry is Nasa Worldwind, all shapes of peaks and slopes are sharper than with google earth but the highest resolution you can get is 15 sq. m.

I don't need any of those... :banana:

[insertnickhere]

i play games.. otherwise redhat ftw (i just like that distro)

in other news:

[bgrs]

What about RedHat you like so much? You have a licensed RHEL copy with access to RHN...or just a rhel media that cannot be updated....or probably centos?

[insertnickhere]

1 year rhel license when i ran the ircd; expired and i havent bothered with it since

the rest is sentimental. back in the 90s it was one of the best distros and actually made sense installing. it got me interested in the platform so it always has that special spot in me.... 007

[bgrs]

hmmm...what RHEL? mind cat /etc/redhat-release ?

[insertnickhere]

2.4.x kernel one. whatever number that was

[bgrs]

Gotta be old...AFAIK rhel3 was the last one shipped with 2.4 kernels. Its support cycle is to be terminated in less than 2 years anyway (and no new updates since somewhere 2007 as far as I see).

Mind purchasing a new license? RHEL5 is very nice (and they dropped that ugly up2date in favor of yum :) )
