I'm not sure if this is what you're looking for, but someone involved with the local ACM student chapter wrote something in perl using the Video4Linux API (at least that's what the website says: http://www.acm.wpi.edu/~webcam/sincam/ -frank p On Tue, 10 Aug 2004, Chuck Haines wrote: > Hey guys, > I recently got a Logitech QuickCam Pro and was thinking about > doing some development work with it.

Logitech QuickCam Pro and Programming

by Chuck Haines

Hey guys, I recently got a Logitech QuickCam Pro and was thinking about doing some development work with it. I'd like to make a program that will take pictures when motion is detected or when I send it commands to do so. I'm currently looking to do it in C, so does anyone have any experience with this? I've done some googling and found some material but nothing that is really a how-to for the API for this kinda thing. Oh yea, I'm developing it on a laptop that runs Fedora Core 2, but I will eventually be porting it to an embedded computer (an Arcom GX-1 to be exact) which runs a flavor of RedHat 7.2 and kernel 2.4.18.

If that's true, just set up a CNAME in your zone records pointing your own domain name to their name. This is what I do and it works fine. -- Dwight A.

Think this is my first mass-email but thought I would share with the group. I recruiter sent this to me today...i have no more information than what is listed below. If interested, I recommend communicating directly with the recruiter at winterwyman.com....he is Joe Kotlinski j jkotlinski(a)winterwyman.com--you can tell him Mike Leo sent you, for what ever that is worth. Good luck. "a successful start-up in the medical devices industry located in the MetroWest/495 area. They want to hire 3 desktop support people. The people they're seeking must have: 6-12 months of experience; Microsoft Networking, Windows 98/NT/2000/XP, and hands on knowledge of Microsoft Office, e-mail applications such as Outlook and Outlook Express and Internet Explorer; and a BS Degree.

Thats sounds perfect. I will double check, but I do believe the systems are configured with OS X...
