Hi, my name is Big Brother.

Thanks to the miracles of modern technology I'm spying on the cable installer over my webcam.

On the one hand you could see yourself as big brother spying on those who you control.

On the other hand you could also see yourself as a person who caved to spam and bought a webcam like so many others so the world could have 24/7 access to live feed of your houseplant


What you should do is point your webcam out the window at Fitness
world and register the Domain Bouncybouncy.com
and charge people to see it. I am sure there are fetishists
out there into overweight sweaty girls on treadmills.

Just typical stuff

It's utterly amazing how *long* it is taking. I hope that means they are being careful to not make it look like utter shit, which I am afraid of.

It's also remarkable how much of this involves both installers standing that the foot of the ladder scratching their chins.

Erm. I've been using wired cams since 1993, thanks. That predates all the X-cam spam by about 6 years. I started using it to keep an eye on the apartment when I lived in Cracktown Gastown (1998).

But yeah, the idea of pointing it at Fitness World has crossed my mind.

It occurred to me that I could phone my answering maching and tell them to hurry up, or start yelling, "Ohmigod! You idiots! I didn't want it installed there!" (but actually they are putting the jack in right beside where the TV is, so I *do* want it there).

And speaking of Fitness World

Both cable installers were just standing, looking out the window at Fitness World. Two customers already!

Too bad it *does* look like utter shit. An hour of chin scratching didn't seem to help...

I say we ask them back to fix the mess, then wrestle them to the floor, staple their clothing to the hardwood and rub their faces with chicken grease. No one can survive 8 hours of being licked by a cat!
