Yeah...that would be because of my crappy internet connection. Ever tried uploading over 350,000KB on a non-business line internet connection? Almost everytime it ends up messing up somehow. And honestly so far it's really only been two of the most recent updates that have had errors. And I always try fixing them when I'm told about them. I apologize about the fact that there have been errors and will try to correct them even sooner. Unfortunately I don't have members like FTV does that will inform me within an hour of the update being posted that there is an error .

I try to do that, but even though I'm on the forum several times a day I'm not allways online when the updates come up.

I know...you've been such a great help and I really appreciate it.

I Understand that, and at the same time I don't. The photographer (Rob?) isn't the one ultimately in charge of the final edit? Because if he is, you'd think he could use the same 'proper'/fast internet connection he uses for FTV to upload stuff to your site. Or maybe he gives the files to you for checking, then you have to upload them? Maybe stuff for FTV is also uploaded through commercial DSL? There's a step I'm not getting somewhere in the process. Anyway, my membership will be over in a couple days, so no worries. (I could just afford this one month, I can pay for another month later and catch up on updates, webcam shows didn't really seem like an incentive to continue paying on a regular basis.)

I'm actually the webmaster for this site. I do everything other than shoot the content. I wish I could have internet speeds like Rob has...but unfortunately because I live in an apartment I can't have business internet (which is what Rob uses.) I'm glad that you joined the site while you did, and hopefully you can join later when there is a bunch of new content up.

Aww, just this past month Danielle's webcam shows where overshadowed with connection problems and delayed schedules. That's not the norm. I hope you'll come back another time and see the webcam shows as they are intended - and enjoy them like we do.

Danielle,

Mabe this would be interesting. Try using one of the remote controlled vibrators when you're out in public. But with someone else controlling it.

This link leads to a few examples.

I think I've had quiet a few requests for this. It would definitely be an interesting shoot. I would just have to make sure the vibrator is quiet enough so that people can't hear it.

I'm sure someone in this forum is savvy enough to whip up a quick program that could control a vibrator from the internet. But I'm sure there's no such thing as a bluetooth vibrator, and then I'm sure the whole forum would be pressing the button all the time..

That's an interesting thought.
I once read a story with a kind of "cellular phone egg" somewhere. The vibrating egg was equipped with a cell phone unit that reacted to signals from an associated cell phone from far distances. I guess with the current miniaturization such toys may actually be already out there. If they are, there could be a way to make an egg internet controlled ...
