Heh!

It's done with a crappy indycam.. but hey, better than nothing :)

The indy saves it onto an NFS safe from my linux box, which then serves it out via HTTP, my ADSL router port forwards to my linux box's HTTP .. my web server has a cron job to download the image, runs it thru image magik to whack up the contrast so it's fricken viewable.. and there, tada it is on your web browser! My ADSL doesn't have a static IP, so I have to use dyndns .. and since the linux box itself is NAT'ed, I had to write another script to find out my ADSL IP, update a dyndns host, which is pointed to by another theducks.org CNAME ;)

Bwah!

Well, no, that won't finish my geek rantings, but for the purposes of this post it will ;>

apt-get install ddclient

Let it deal with things from there...

Although I'm not sure how the linux one deals with those routers, the windows one just looks for your upstream gateway.

Still, it's a useful, it's how I keep my router ip up2date here.
