… and there was much rejoicing as The Imaginary Publisher and The Good Doctor successfully installed the Apple iSight webcam!
Yes indeed folks: it is now possible for you to bust my balls about the wiki chatwise while looking me straight in the eye — provided you have a webcam and an AIM account. Ain’t technology a thing of wonder…
…and a very handsome couple indeed!
I knew of Barry’s “pouting rictus,” but I never knew what the Good Doc looked like.
It’s nice to be able to put a face on the typing.
Pouting rictus? Moi?
The Good Doctor says hi by the way… ;)
Technology is a wonderous thing and now you can start a Delicious Library using your iSight to scan the barcodes on CDs/DVDs/Books and the interweb will supply all manner of information. The wiki will virtually write itself.

When you have finished that grab a copy of iStopMotion and you can be your very own Bruce Bickford.

Cool beans! It should also be possible to record quicktime movies with this thing, right? I’m rather tempted to purchase that delicious-monster library software, are you using it?
Quicktime 7/File menu/ New Movie Recording – Click the Red Button.
This may only be in the Pro Upgrade but if you are editing movies it is worth getting the Pro version for the impressive H.264 codec anyway.

Or you can record straight into iMovie toggle the switch from editing scissors to recording camera.

Have not tried the Delicious Library thing myself – not being a “lets fill this wiki with long lists of stuff” kind of guy. :)
a very handsome couple.
But i see a lot of beard. You’ve changed, man !!!
Hopefully one day we will meet again playing some great songs like ‘requiem for a loser, etc…’
Hey Jan!!! How’ve you been?! :)
My goal is Darwin-esque facial hair. I’m a patient person…
I agree, it’s been too long — for various reasons which I will not mention here. ;) I’ll drop you an email (provided your address is still on my new machine!). Stay tuned!
