randomcam news
Over the weekend, I did a bunch of backend stuff, most too dull to explain here. One of them was to add a script that lets people include a single random webcam on their webpage by including the following <a href = "http://aaronland.net/cgi-bin/cgiwrap/asc/randomcam?function=single">url</a> as the src attribute for an img tag. (If the server suddenly gets swamped, I will have to take it down, however.) I am also generating a fresh <a href = "http://aaronland.net/xml/randomcam.xml">xml file</a> of all the info everytime the database is updated. Much of the information is still undefined (latitude, longitude, etc.) and I will fill in the blanks as time allows; the randomcam is pretty low on the totem pole. Enjoy!
