A Webcam from Downtown Los Altos, California
Here's an experimental webcam from downtown Los Altos, California. The view is from my office, looking at the corner of Main and 3rd Streets. Satura Cakes is visible on the left, and Bank of the West is on the right.
The webcam is running on an ancient Gateway 266MHz Pentium 2, running Ubuntu Linux and a $19 USB webcam. Right now I'm using camserv to stream the images (really just a sequence of JPEGs, but I'm looking into alternatives. Software suggestions are welcome!

I am using a home built system with a 900 MHz Duron Processor and running Fedora Core Five. Viewed with Mozilla FireFox 1.5.03 and using java jre1.5.0_06.
Are you still using camserv for streaming?
If so it looked great!
