It's a great idea, but then there'd have to be some sort of button for 'take
pic' on the page. If I knew more about, well, anything, I would set up a web
applet for the webcam software to save a picture when a button on the page is
pushed.
But I wouldn't even begin to know how to set that one up.
Actually, just thinking about it--every 10 seconds the latest image gets FTP'd
to the server (and 10 seconds later gets overwritten with the new image).
Someone more intelligent than I could probably write a little .cgi that's
triggered by a button on the page that would take that file and copy and rename
it to another directory, for viewing purposes.
Any programmers wanting to take up the challenge?
