Pine Island Cam - in time for ice out!

Pine Island Guy · 04-06-2009, 06:14 AM

I'm happy to report that the Pine Island Cam is back up - however it is in a somewhat manual mode right now. I will try to get at least one shot a day posted until ice out and we can get over to the island.

After spending at least 2 hours on the phone per weekend for the last few weeks with Fairpoint... I finally found the ONE guy there that knows something about FTP and could reconfigure their mess to make it behave (almost) like my old Verizon site. The webcam is now posting pictures once per minute, however I still need to log into the site to move them to the "public" portion... Fairpoint says they will correct that shortly HAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!

For now - check out the ice out progress at:

note the URL is too long to display and is truncated, however the link should work.
