Funny comment there...as I actually wrote a small AutoIt script to launch Flash and make a very simple/fast animation...more for concept, but yeah. :laughing:

Re your comments, Slim420, I honestly have since dumped my cache of images...need to rerun the script, which hopefully I'll get started on this weekend (have to put the script on my new server, and find a place to call it every 60 seconds, hah! I need a wget cronjob placed on a nix server...after I find a nix server!)... but once that's done, they'll all be in a public directory on my server if you wanted to play, too. :rolleyes:

This is the specific cam. image I was/am talking about, for those curious:
Arizona Webcam

As the page mentions, it's updated (and automatically refreshed) every minute. Nice for a time-lapsed animation...!

The experience from playing with Linux is superb, although, I wish I could get the wireless working on the laptop!
