Just a word of warning that you may start experiencing slower access to the Web Cams site in the coming days. The server rack from which the Bonaire WebCams site feeds it data has seen its data rate exceed the bandwidth contracted from the colo site the rack is located at. As such, we've had to throttle the data feed on the regular public site at http://www.BonaireWebCams.com.

jake, is it like ours, where if you want more bandwidth you have to pay the sbc (colo site) more money for bandwidth? if so, is there something that we as users can do (ie, smaller picture size posting, gifs, etc) other than membership?

Yes - it is like that (more $$$ = more bandwidth). As far as what you can do, from a practical perspective not much. We just will have to bite the bullet at some point and spend more. Dan's been working on the Bonaire WebCams shopping cart, so revenue from that might help once we launch it... (No date available yet)

Jake, while we got you, what's going on with the UW cam? Is it just lousy visibility or is the cam fogging from the cold water?

jake, maybe you should set up a donation box next to the sign box...even better, make it a "token" box...have to put a token in to get a sign to hold up...or, put a piggy bank on the mooring block for folks to drop quarters in...or maybe...come on folks, brainstorming ideas please

Yeah, but I bet you were wearing more than a 3mm shorty wet suit at the time! It was good seeing you two here and spending time with y'all!

Actually, I was wearing a lot less; was looking out our bedroom window at the lake; the real nuisance was the boots and coat needed for picking up the newspaper from the driveway. Also, was great being able to do things with you, and family, again. Will shortly need to start planning the BT'er Feb/Mar BBQ for next year!
