Yo, what happened? You We're set and then i see you living with à bord.

Long story.  I was always living with the bird:)  She was my ex wifes and mine.  I'm doing really well now career wise and health and all that.  I'll catch you up on it later.

Good to see you on Tumblr.  If you look through mine you can see the void where my life went sideways lol.

Hope you are doing well!

This is a classic for all the kids of the 80's!  Anyone who grew up in the 1980's were forced to wear these beauties at the hands of their thrifty parents:)

Setup an on demand home webcam

Travel is a great thing for all of us.  Every year we think of where to travel for vacation, or maybe just to visit family and in some circumstances, its travel for work.  What ever the reasons certain issues vex the traveller.  Is my home safe?  Did I leave the stove on?  where is my pocket book?  

Though I cannot give solutions to all these troubles, I can give a solution for those of us that what to check in on our homes as little or as much as we wish, for free!  

Though most of you may already know how to use this, Skype http://www.skype.com has an auto answer feature.  Add to that, auto turn on video and you and call your home and see, hear and talk to it.  " But Ryan, why would I talk to my home?"  you may ask.  Well the answer is simple, talk to your pets that could not make the trip with you.   Morgan has a beautiful lutino cockatiel named Daisy.  She cannot always go with us when we leave our apartment.  She comes for the longer trips, however the shorter ones she stays at home.  Birds are extremely intelligent, and form life long bonds.  This bond can be another bird or human.  In Daisy's case its Morgan.  They get sad and lonely when their mate is not around.  We came up with the idea of setting up my wife's computer to auto answer so we could talk to and see Dasiy when we were gone.  It has worked out perfect!  Daisy talks to us when we call and does not feel alone.  

The setup is like this:

1.  Pick the location you want to view with your webcam.

2.  Make sure you have two skype accounts.  You need running on the "server" end and one on the "client" end.

3.  Make sure your two accounts are contacts between each other.

4. On the server side, goto "tools" in the top menu bar and click options.

5. Once in options, click on calls on the left pane. Make sure your in call settings.

6. Click on "show advanced options".

7.  In this options window, click on " answer incoming calls automatically" and then "start my video automatically when i am in a call".

8.  Thats it!  give it a try on your local network to adjust your audio settings.

Now you can call your little friend at home who could not make the trip:)
