It was a sad day. On Thursday, 14 May of this year, the Wambooli PorchCam died.

\nWell, it didn’t die, but it became unserviceable. Like a fool, I installed an update to the camera’s firmware. Because the camera stupidly uses the awful ActiveX web interface, I was unable to access the camera’s administrative pages from any modern web browser. I effectively lost control over the device, so I had to retire it.<\/p>\n
Not only that, but the weather service I’d been using discontinued its RSS feed, so the web page’s current weather information was no longer available.<\/p>\n
The replacement camera I purchased also used ActiveX, so I returned it (after great struggle<\/a>). Since May of this year, the Wambooli website has been without a PorchCam. Still, I have archived a few images since before its demise. Here is the Gallery:<\/p>\n\n\t\t
