On The Downtime
So when I started the kitskam project I wanted to challenge myself. I wanted to run an extremely high resolution webcam. The kitskam is 8 megapixels (i think). I think there are only a handful of webcams in the world that match that resolution. I had to create the software to run a DSLR at a timed interval etc etc.
The site gets lots of traffic and does fairly well. Unfortunately, it’s not very stable and when I’m traveling (and other people are running it) it goes down and I can’t fix it because physical manual intervention is involved. (the camera itself crashes!)
In the future I plan to make it far more stable and probably way lower resolution. Turns out nobody cares about the high quality of the image but me and some other dorks.
Anyway, it’s not going away for now but I thought I’d post an update and say sorry for all the downtime…
