frequently asked questions

Q: When do I appear on the webcam?
A: I usually appear on my webcam for few hours before heading to work and also for a couple of hours after I get home. Click here to see what my work schedule is like. Weekends I'm pretty well here all day. I usually try to go to bed around midnight and sleep 'til 10am or so.

Q: Why do I have this website?
A: I love webcamming. Was one of the first things I discovered online. I found it kinda cool yet voyeuristic to watch people sitting at their computers so inturn I decided to get my own webcam site going and it's been going since about 1999. I'm not a big chatter so that's why there is very little contact info on my site. I've never really done this to meet people. My Windows Live Messenger thingy is mostly family, a few co-workers and only a few people I've meet online.

Q: Do I ever clean my desk?
A: I do try and clean it up but usually in no time the junk starts piling up again so what's the point.

Q: What software do I use to build this site?
A: All my webpages are either typed out or I use alot of cutting and pasting. I use a program called Derekware HTML Author 3.0. It's very old and hasn't been updated since like 1999. It's basically a glorified version of Windows Notepad which I also use for editing too. I've never been able to get into any of these fancier editing programs like Frontpage etc.

Q: What software do I use to run the webcam?
A: I use a version of Windows Media Encoding software provided by CamStreams.com to stream and FTP my webcam image.

A: You need a program called "Windows Media Player" to watch my streaming webcam. You can download it here.

Q: What am I always looking at online?
A: Most of the time I like to look through Canadian Satellite TV forums. I like to punch in postal codes and zip codes for various cities on Zap2it and see how local stations and cable companies program their channels and channel lineups. It's odd but I enjoy it... LOL.
