Peter Vogel is a cool Australian. He worked on the team which came up with the first commercial sampler. He hangs out on the OzTiVo list.

I know a couple of people who I reckon would go to a silent rave, and frankly I've never been to a rave, but I'd go just to see what it looks like.

An original project was superseded by another project which had some interesting links to information on the camera. Compare and contrast with a NetBSD driver for the same camera. This specification might also come in handy. (This ICM532 is one of the cameras I'm playing with at University at the moment) [tags: webcam linux icm532] [icbm: home]
