Twin Cities Traffic Cameras

Sun, 01 Jul 2007 21:34:22 -0500

Just in case anyone is interested in monitoring the traffic cameras around the Twin Cities, I invite you to check out a web page that KC0UQY and I have put together. The program will display all "Incidents" as determined by the Minnesota Department of Transportation. Their page only displays a list of the incidents where you can "click" on a camera number to see the image from that camera. Our page will display the images from all the cameras that have an "Incident" listed for it. You can do some filtering to only see incidents that are less than an hour old, or incidents that are something other than "Stalls", etc. All incidents and images are updated every 10, 30 or 60 seconds, user selectable. Minimum convenient screen width is 1024 pixels with "Small images" selected, 1280 pixels with "Large images" selected.

linux question - How to correct font problem

Sat, 28 Oct 2006 15:48:39 -0500

Hello folks. I really appreciated the expert assistance from Peter (and others) on configuring my Dell 2450 to run Debian 'testing' version. From time to time I use 'aptitude update and upgrade' to get the latest package changes. About two Saturdays ago after doing 'aptitude upgrade' all text on every dialog menu, title bar, static text box, or browse box is just a bunch of squares for each character. The text on a web page or in a text editor is readable, but the text at the top of the brwoser related to menus or any error message is a series of squares. I am able to get onto the PC by guessing when to enter my login credentials and guessing what the options on error dialogs mean.
