Lindsay's Upgrades

taken with a A4tech PK-935 and Photobooth (Lindsay has no built-in iSight)

If you have been following my Twitter tweets recently, you may know that I discovered Macam, a set of USB webcam drivers for OS X.

These drivers are heaven-sent. Saved me a ton because I don't have to buy an iSight anymore.

I tried it with an A4tech PK-935 webcam and it worked like a charm. The driver worked so well, it works with Skpe and YM. I even got Photobooth installed and it works well with it, too.

Using, Skype videocall and two accounts, I can even use the webcam as a surveillance camera for the living room. If you have been following this blog for a long time, you'll know where I will use that one for. (Sneaky, but prudent.) I just don't know if Skpe allows recording of the video call.

The only problem is, the webcam has to be connected directly to Lindsay to work. It will not work if the webcam is connected through a hub. Took me a while to reconfigure my peripherals and I'm still not satisfied with it. I may need to power my USB hub from an external source because of all the things plugged in.

Anyway, there's no choir today and we're not going out so we'll just watch TV and rest for most of the day. I'll try to finish Grey's Anatomy today.

Disaster relief, sustainable development & community service

Side Prayers

PRAYER FOR GENEROSITY
Lord Jesus,
Teach me to be generous,
Teach me to serve You as You deserve
To give and not to count the cost,
To fight and not to heed the wounds,
To toil and not to seek for rest,
To labor and not to ask for reward,
except that of knowing
That I do Your Holy Will. Amen

THE LAWYER'S PRAYER
May every word I speak be from Your Truth...
I ask come from Your Wisdom...
May every case I handle receive Your Guidance...
May every heart, every life I touch, feel Your Love.

THE JABEZ PRAYER
And Jabez called on the God of Israel saying,
"Oh, that You would bless me indeed,
and enlarge my territory,
that Your Hand be with me,
that You would keep me from evil,
that I may not cause pain."

So God granted him what he requested.
