Ahh, the Commons Cam. What would we do without our frivolous little mental-health-preserving project? If you’ve noticed a lack of posting here at the Red Frog Blog, it’s because we’ve been busy. Really busy. Brains-on-wall busy. And with all manner of projects, print, web, application development, you name it, we’ve done it in the past month.
So with a new, amazing, beautiful, slick version of WebTree coming out sometime next week, I took a short break from application development today to play with our Commons Cam site, and added a cool new feature.
It’s called a visual time stamp. Any time someone makes a comment on the site, the system now automatically saves a copy of the webcam’s view. That way you can see what the hell someone was commenting about, or you can comment when you see a particularly pretty view, or a particularly strange one.
So go ahead and visit the Commons Cam and let us know what you see. And perhaps share it with some friends?
Enjoy!
