I have a new web camera set up at my parents house overlooking the outdoor model railroad that I hope to finish someday (maybe next summer). Hopefully this camera will remain ON most of the time, but things always seem to creep up. However, as of right now I'm still working on the positioning of the camera itself. I may [...]
