a party in 783 frames (78.3 seconds)

Sunday, Sep 9. 2007  –  Category: Musings

we had a party to celebrate Yukon’s 40th birthday last night. i’d been playing around with my new webcam (Quickcam Orbit MP, which aside from pan/tilt functionality – seems to work great under Solaris). i forgot i’d left it on and it was taking a shot every 30 seconds.

this morning i grabbed a copy of swftools, which also built just fine under Solaris and whipped up this following basic flash movie with the 783 frames the webcam took last night.

(i used jpeg2swf and set a rate of 10fps, and yes – it’ll loop around…)

the party started at 4pm, so most people were out on the back porch while we were grilling and drinking. as the night came in and things cooled down we headed in doors.

    It built right out of the box for me. You need to have SUNWjpg installed (which provides /usr/lib/libjpeg.so.62) and SUNWfreetype2 (which provides /usr/sfw/lib/libfreetype.so.6)
