So the only thing this webcam works with is Yahoo Messenger. AIM and MSN are pretty lame, but there’s still hope that webcams will reach MSN when version 6.0 is released this summer. Here’s to hope.
The novelty of a webcam is worn thin. Lots of people just don’t bother with webcams when it is available. Some are amused by it. I’m still trying to figure out what to do with the thing. I was thinking about putting it in my window and broadcasting views of my front yard 24/7. Problem is that I’ll need to find a USB cable long enough.
I also got an opitical mouse. My purchase was prompted by the condition of my old mouse when I got in from camping. Huge amount of dust or gunk or whatever gets into the trackball making it temporarily unuseable. So in comes the optical mouse. So far so good. Its got an adapter on the end of it…where it can be used as either a USB plugin or regular ole mouse plugin. Cool. I was worried it might just be strictly USB and I’d be forced to give up another USB port. They’re hard to come by these days. Everything seems to need to use it.
Anyways that’s my life for now.
