Some might say this would be a good thing. I don't care. Bollocks to the lot of you. It's my ego, I can do what I like with it.
I'd like to thank Jenni for doing what she's doing. Running the JenniCAM gave me something to take the piss out of when I first came across a spare webcam to play with in my job. A few hours later I had the embryonic web site that became the BOFHcam site a few of you know and visit.
Frankly I don't give a fig what Jenni does on her site and in the view of her cameras. I aimed to parody her in the first instance, but now my Journal seems to have become something that hundreds of people seem to check at least twice a day. I get emails from all over the world from sysadmins, technicians, the occasional student and now and then a boss who's been trawling their employees' webcaches. Not one email has been negative or abusive, in the main they've enjoyed the site (many of them have never seen the JenniCAM, but go there after they've seen me mention it). Most people are glad to read something that show that their job isn't the worst on the planet (mine is).
As far as I understand it, I run the only site that's as faithfully close to the JenniCAM original (some might call that sad, I do too) design. Copying the style (cleaned up to be HTML4.0/Transitional), redrawing all the images and working on new versions and additions has taught me more about web design (good and bad) than I would have otherwise learnt from a book or a course, I feel.
All this is thanks to Ms Ringley and her cameras. If not for her, I wouldn't be able to slack off at work and play with web servers and shit.
Happy 4th birthday Jenni. Try not to go too much towards Flash and Java or I'll never be able to keep up.
You show a remarkable lack of understanding of the outcome of any nuclear war.
Nobody wins in a nuclear war (except maybe the 'roaches and the rats). There are just degrees of loss. Or perhaps one side glows less than the other.
They don't call it M.A.D. for nothing.

I think that if the US was 'gone', a) there'd be one hell of a party (-: and b) the world's financial structure would require a major rethink.
Other than that, I can't see any major problems.
Of course, if you watched wildlife programmes you'd understand that most pack animals in the desert work together to gather food for the rest.

Recovery is important. Priorities in life should be: Sleep, sex, water, food, scratching any itches, [computer game of your choice], work, relatives' birthdays.

Yup and it's not me. I just live there. The trick is to go down, not across my friend.

Who said it had to be positive? Certainly not me. If you care to look at the site you will notice that it forms more a part of my recovery from work than a source of income, reason for being, or general point of my existance.

What required me to think it through before doing it? Back in February it was a spur-of-the-moment, do-it-cos-I'm-bored thing. A single page with an image that refreshed every 5 minutes.
Since then it's become something to try out HTML on, frink about with while I'm bored and something my fellow sysadmins can watch if they need some escape from work. Nothing more.

Go elsewhere. This whole thing was done because I found a camera in a box and thought I could call it the BOFHcam. I'd much rather people came to my place for some laughs and went to Jenni for something decent to watch.
