I Love Geeking Out

So, I'm sitting at my desk this afternoon (trying to avoid work). I wanted to see if I could get my Webcam to stream an image of whatever was on my computer screen. This particular Intel Pro device has a “video in” jack. The laptop has an svideo connector; with an adapter, I connected it to the Webcam and enabled dual-monitor support in XP. My favorite Webcam application was acting as a second monitor! It was weird, let me tell ya. But I wasn't satisfied with that. I wanted to do more. My TV/VCR combo unit doesn't have an “out” option, but the Satellite receiver / decoder does. With a few quick clicks, I had my boob tube broadcasting on the infobahn. If you're the curious sort, keep an eye on the appropriate sidebar link in my blog.

one (which I may end up doing, anyway - if only for better balance). I’ll have to update this post after Ponzi picks up the video camera to film my graphical giddiness.
