I am still here. And I broke my own rules again by fixing three cameras that went down.
Well, first the server that insanitycam is on was down for a day or so. Then when it went back online, my living room computer started acting up. I believe it is in the cat5 wire under the house. I have replaced the network card twice, but it doesn't seem to be the problem. Funny thing is, it comes and goes. So right now I have cat5 wire #2 running all over the house. Can't wait for the wife to see that.
I didn't cover the pool this winter, and now I am payin' for it. It was a nasty shade of green when the ice melted...Not to mention scummmmmmm... I have added a ton of chemicals, and now have the pool a loverly shade of blue... Of well, a week or so longer, it might be ok.
If I ever come up with the extra cash, I will get the two kitchen cameras back up. Also looking at a PTZ cam in the front yard.
Till later, Bks

Been a while..
Well, my break from the website is still ongoing. I want to fix things, add more cameras, and post more to the blog, but just can't get moving on it. I know of about three people who watch and follow this sad little site. I am sorry that I haven't wrote them for a while. I am sad that I have cameras down and don't fix, or pay for the software to keep them up or add more... And I still have no idea what direction I want to go. I will decide soon I guess.
Anyway after 30 years or so, I have finally went to the doctor. It started with a tumor my wife found under my right arm. I have also had a hernia for 2 to 4 years, and I haven't felt "healthy" for years. The turns out the tumor is no big deal. I can live with it. The hernia, well I go see some other doctor about it the first week of March. Blood work looks good for the most part. A few numbers I am worried about, but will talk to my Dr. about them in about two weeks. But at 39 years old, I am in better shape then I would have thought. Bad habits and all...
I have been moved up to Vice- president of the homebrew club here. (I missed a club meeting, and they voted without me being there..) Makes me feel even worse that I haven't brewed for a while! Guees I need to change that.. Soon...
I will also be taking over the Mountain Brewer Open. It is West Virginia's big home brew competition. Beers come in from all over the good ol USA. We will see how it goes this July...
I figure I will need a good bit of help this year. But getting people to come help and drink great beer all day seems hard to do. Go figure..
So, long story short. I will get my two kitchen cams up soon and add two to four more cameras. OR I will let them all crash over time and not fix them.
I will try to get my body fixed as best I can and get in shape, or I will let it crash also... Most times I don't care one way or the other...
I will also try to brew more beer, mead and other adult beverages this year, or continue spending money to purchase drinks I can make myself...
So you see, it is ALL up in the air!
Only thing I know for sure.....Outer Banks N.C. in July!!!!!!!!! If I make it to July! I plan to take a few of my kegs down. Visit the two breweries that are close, have them filled, and sit my somewhat fat ass on the beach for a week!
If I can, I will set up a webcam or two from the beach house that week. Don't worry, it will be pointed at something besides my fat ass!
Till later...or not..... BKS

Still on a break... But
I am still sitting back for a while, but thought I would drop a line or two.
I have had a number of e-mails, and a few comments on the blog about this site. I was happy to read them all, and the support has been great.The e-mails were really great, and I am very happy that over the years I have made some good friends. From all over the world. I have never been the best about writing back most of the time, but I do love the idea that I have talked to people from most corners of the earth. The site seems to be crawling along. I have lost the two kitchen cameras, the WebcamXP free trial ran out, and it now only works one camera. It would cost about $75 US dollars? (I think) for one computer withlots of cams, or add 40 to 50 $ more for 2 to 4 computers.That was the direction I was wanting to go in the past. It $130 would open up the option of many more cameras.And I do have two more computers sitting here now, but don't have the cash for WebcamXPright now. And still don't feel 100%. If I can't do it right, If I can't keep these computers running right,if I don't give it everything I have, why do it? These are some of the things that run around in my head when ever I think about my site.
So things will continue as is. If I come up with the cash for the software, if I decide to fix some of these computer issues, (and can figure out how to do so), If I can figure out how to make the site look like it SHOULD, I will. But for now, I am just here.
Again, thank you guys for the e-mails. I am sorry I am the way I am and never write back like I should.

Gonna take a break from the blog, web site, e-mails, etc.....
The cameras will be up unless something happens.
I am not feeling the best right now, in any way, and need a break.
For the Three people that have dropped me an e-mail, and you know who you are, I hope to be back soon. I promise to write soon, but not just yet. Not to happy about anything right now,and it will take me a while to sit down and write back.
As I said, if cameras kick off line, I wont fix them, if they stay up, so be it. But until I am better, I am stepping back for a while.
Talk to you later..................................................

December update.........
Well, after the last post, I am not sure what to say.
I am still here. The computers are still messed up.
Work, home life, and everything else, is still the same.
We did get a nice snow. Not what the weather man and woman called for, but is it ever?
They never have any idea what is going on. And they never will. But we did have about 3 or 4 inches. We were looking for 12 inches or so, but go figure...............
I have almost given up on this site. It is still up,I guess. I don't check the cams much anymore. But I haven't turned stuff off yet. So I guess things are ok.
I just spent close to four hours making a great dinner. It had more things in it then anything I have ever made. It was so much fun to cook. It was also very nice to eat. BUT, it wasn't as good as I thought it was going to be. Come on..... so much work. It was really good. But, so, much workkkkkk.
Going to have christmas dinner for the staff around 4pm Monday. Some great food for that also. Don't know if they care , or just want free food and gifts. But we will do it.
So, I am still here. The site is still here. And to the people that want me to write, well, I can't. If you want to talk to me, do what others have done. Write me at insanitycam@gmail.com
