    Somehow I have managed to lose ALL the documentation/box etc. that came with my webcam. I'm trying to install the driver, but I have NO idea what it is. I think it's a logitech, but I'm not sure as there are no identifying markings on it whatsoever. I even went onto ebay trying to find pictures of it with no luck.

    I bought it at radioshack about a year ago and I know it's fairly common. Can someone tell me what this thing is so I can install the drivers?

    ( what's my name?? )

    Roommate Needed
    Alright, this is going to be cross-posted to a few places
    I am looking for a roommate, who is preferably a student. There is an extra room in the basement that I am getting in on. There is one room and it costs $350 a month which includes heating and hydro. There is a fridge and stove in the place. There is supposed to be a couch and table (not quite sure yet) Phone, Internet and Cable will have to be discussed and split between the 3 (yourself), myself, and the other guy. You have been warned, you would be living with two male students. heh. The place is on St Andrews which is off of King Edward, it is a 15 minute walk from Ottawa U, and minutes away from the market. Let me know if you are interested, we will talk, and I will give you the contact info of the landlord.

    Or for that matter, what this line means?

    Real Life Simpsons' House
    From ForeverGeek: Apparently, somebody built and outfitted a real house to be identical to Homer's. The level of precision is uncanny. I'd love to watch TV on that couch!

    Motion-Induced Blindness
    This is trippy! From MakeZine:
    Take three yellow dots arranged in a triangle, put a green dot in the middle, put them all on a spinning background grid, and watch as your brain makes the yellow dots disappear.

    Stupid people
    My roommate was complaining that the internet wasn't working, so, I go on our router and fix things....and leave the IE window on the DHCP part of the router. She asks me to borrow my computer to go on msnmessenger. Considering I was on the phone, I thought to myself: I suppose I could be nice to her, and allow her. So, she logs on to msn, and then starts looking at all my opened windows on my computer. Of course, she sees the router, and all of our IP adresses, including hers. Then she proceeds to browsing every folder on my computer. I leave her do it, after all, I have nothing to hide. She checks my emails in outlook...emaisl with my band and my boyfriend...whatever, she can look, I don't care. Then, she starts browsing again through my files and starts clicking random exe files...you know, the kind of file any computer knowledgeable person wouldn't execute, but, as a lazy person, I don't go hunting for those every day. Now, I got a little annoyed and basically let her know I was going outside of my room and didn't want other poeple in my room while I wasn't in it. She left. Half an hour later, a cops get here. She explains to the cop that her IP adress was on my computer and blabla bla, paranoia, blablabla, I'm an evil hacker commiting a crime against her. The poor lady officer was really annoyed. Then, I told her what it was that my roommate saw, and, the officer asks me: " Does she have a tendency to freak out for nothing?" And I said yes. It is indeed not the first time she goes ballistic on us. But, quite frankly, how long has it been since you guys heard about such a funny story of the boundless stupidity of certain people when it comes to computers!?!?!?
