It simply took an image at a set interval and uploaded it to the web service. The (almost) live image could then be embedded in the user&#8217;s web page. It is now outdated and sadly I need to close the free service down.<\/p>\n<p>It was designed to be very easy to install without a complicate signup process, and it initially ran entirely on a free hosting service available at the time. Use has fallen away over the years as most people have move on to a more modern web cam solutions, or stopped completely. Today I don&#8217;t feel it worth updating the software or moving the service on to new hosting <a href=\"http:\/\/blog.agm.me.uk\/blog\/2013\/12\/farewell-rails-playground.php\">that I need to do<\/a>. I am really pleased people found and used the service useful over the last decade and part of the code does live on in some <a href=\"http:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=wbs7s8x6YaI\">time lapse experiments<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>New users have not been able to start using the service for a while, and current users should have been receiving a warning message through the software. The service will stop functioning on or after December 24th 2013.
