Cam Hunt

In my hunt for a new ‘project’ webcam I seem to have cleared ebay out of
them ha. Story so far….

Logitech Quickcam Connect = No
Logitech Quickcam 3500 = No

Please note some of these cams can be made to work on linux however require

Couldn’t find my id card this morning. Got on bus and oyster card had no
money on it so had to pay in loose change. I went to cashpoint and got £20
out. Got to station checked oyster card ballance which was £1.10 put tenner
in to add £5 machine displayed £6.10 swiped my card to update it and it said
it couldn’t be read and refunded me £5, I checked the balance and it still
showed £1.10. I spoke to station people who made me out to be a liar saying
id prob only put £5 in, I said id just got £20 from the bank and showed him
the other £10 to prove I had money to pay but he said machine hadn’t shown
an error, I suggested we try to re-create the problem but he wasn’t
interested.
