Since at least one of you guys (gals, gays, merry people or whatever) admitted
to ignore the animation section by habit, I will mention here that I put a (very
poor) prove of concept of using the mesh cam to grow plants to light into the
p.b.a. The answer is yes, it is possible, but much more efforts are needed to
come to good results.

Best regards,
Michael

What?!  There should be a law against that!

I hang out there regularly...more or less. So that's two of us so far...  ;-)

Your proof of concept is very promising indeed. Well done for a first!

Hint: imho, the /rotation/ of the scene is redundant. Just let the plant 
grow in peace ;-)

Well, if I could get some 21st century bandwidth in my community, I might check
it out more often...

Sorry, yes you are right. If you live at a rural place the bandwidth can be very
low in comparison to a city. I'm living at the city of Germany the main
telephone company here has their main (technical) quarter. The political one is
located somewhere else, but I cannot expirience bandwidth problems here. But if
we visit my stepfather at a very rural place within Germany my only connection
to the net is my smartphone (and only in some rooms of his house due to the
surrounding hills). In this area it is hard to get even a 56 kbit/s connection
to the net by wire.

Best regards,
Michael

Our local telecommunications company is busy digging up roads and installing
cutting-edge fiber optics, funded by the awsome American Recovery and
Reinvestment Act of 2009, and we will soon see the fastest Internet in the
universe.  So they say.

I wonder if they're doing anything about their routers.  There are rare moments
when I /can/ get the fast DSL speeds we were promised 7 years ago, so I know the
lines can already handle it.  But what good is a 14-lane autobahn when the
on-ramp is congested?
