The faithful webcam that&#8217;s been up since 2002 (with a long break about 2 years back), is finally offline. Maybe not for good, but for now.<\/p>\n<p>For some reason my web cam software is acting funky. It could be due to a recent Windows update, though I don&#8217;t want to uninstall the update just because the webcam software is acting hinkey.<\/p>\n<p>Actually, it could be due to the newer version of Java installed on my PC, seeing how Java was updated recently.<\/p>\n<p>Regardless, I&#8217;m using the Porchcam&#8217;s PC as my Windows 7 test computer, and the software doesn&#8217;t run on Windows 7. So with the Porchcam being down more often than not, I thought I&#8217;d just take it offline for now.<\/p>\n<p>I still have the Porchcam hardware, so I&#8217;m not disconnecting that. If in the future better software comes along, I&#8217;ll put the Porchcam back up. Until then, here is the Porchcam year-in-review, though 6 months early:<\/p>\n\n\t\t<style type=\"text\/css\">\n\t\t\t#gallery-1 {\n\t\t\t\tmargin: auto;\n\t\t\t}\n\t\t\t#gallery-1 .gallery-item
