Peeking at yourself
I'm reading the old diary written by Jamie Zawinski about his life at Mosaic, which turned to netscape later.
As he written,
There's finally an Indy on my desk instead of a Sun4. This means that I also have an IndyCam, so I hacked up a script to grab and save a frame of me sitting there every five minutes.
I think it's cool, so I've built this small script that takes your photo from your laptop's webcam and save them locally, so you can peek at yourself later.
I'm using ImageSnap to take pictures, and I've appended the compiled version in the folder, but it's recommended that you build one for yourself.
This is a ruby script, so ruby is required.
Crack into this folder, and type ./peeker, and start showing yourself.
