ben wilson This is the blog of a one Ben Wilson, a Louisville, Kentucky native who enjoys baseball, beer, music, bikes, things that fly and good food. By day he pushes pixels and makes the Internet happen for a local advertising agency. His wife, Kelly is an Ironman, and his baby Amelia is the cutest thing ever.

You may want to look lovingly over at the right bar and notice that not one (1) but two (2) webcam images now appear. One at home, and one at work. I have had the home-cam sitting around for quite some time, and finally got around to plugging her in! Clicky on the image to pop open a nicely formed auto-refresho window, or if you prefer the more terrestrial form, click here.

The images from home are brought to you by a nice little app called camE, which I hacked up a bit to upload a thumbnail along with the regular pic. It’s written in C, and I haven’t programmed in C++ since 1996(!). However, I managed to do alright by myself. I remember now why I enjoyed C++. It’s all very simple — the syntax is clean and not stupid. It’s nice in a simple-machine sorta way. I will be sending patches to the author soon, hopefully with some sort of added functionality to maintain a remote archive, which will allow me to do the same prev/next thing like to do with work-cam. More later.
