So I moved the webcam over to \\Lefty, a secondary system over to my left. Previously, it had been on \\Cerebrus, my primary productivity machine; The camera sat atop my right-most monitor and you could see two or three screens with me in the shot. I moved the camera over for multiple reasons:

1. This vantage point better showcases my multiple monitor goodness, depite the fact that four screens and a PocketPC remain out of view.
2. Reduces the workload of Cerebrus, while giving me more desktop space where I need it most.
3. Lefty wasn’t doing anything else but monitoring ping latencies to the Router, the Server, and the Google.

Anyway, Lefty (Athalon XP 3200+, 2GB DDR) is the system formerly known as “The Jew”, because it doesn’t work very often. Keeping with its namesake, I’ve noticed it keeps dropping connection to UStream and has bad latency issues. Sometimes it won’t update for a minute, and then give me a minute’s worth of frames in two seconds. Perhaps that function can be outsourced to one of my Toshibas (P3-450MHz), they’ll probably do a better job. Shame.
