image of linux penguin with slug WebCam on the Slugimage of Linksys NSLU2


Pointless, I know. But this page follows in the footsteps of the early pioneers of net webcams - except this one doesn't point at a coffee jug. Besides, I did it because I could.



The image above is generated by a webcam on a Linksys NSLU2 reflashed to run Debian Lenny. Such devices are popularly known as slugs. This particular slug runs a webserver providing several virtual webs (both internally and public facing). A separate slug now acts as the local apt-mirror for my home network and acts as my network backup server. People use their slugs for all sorts of things.


The image is refreshed every 30 seconds. Reload the page to view. If the image is black it just means that the room is in darkness. Check the timestamp on the image (GMT).


(I turned off auto refresh to save on my bandwidth. Just in case.....)
