      It's Official: I ***Am*** Dumb or "Isight 1 Scott 0"
Sigh.  Last night I managed to (admittedly with a config file from a friend) "dual head X" i.e. setup my Linux XWindows box with 2 monitors.  That's very, very cool so when I bought an Apple iSight today I figured "No Problem.  How hard can it be after configuring X ?".  **Moron**  Actually its been 4 reboots and a new version of iChat and my iSight camera still isn't detected.  I get the dreaded No Camera Attached message -- EVEN THOUGH the Microphone works fine.  Yes it is a G3 (crystal / white iBook 600 mhz running 10.6.2).  The little green led on the top of the camera comes on for about 30 seconds when I plug in the camera and then goes right off again. 
Anyone else encounter this?  Sight.  Able to leap tall buildings, Able to install X Windows, Unable to plug in a camera and have it work.  :-(

      Chatzilla and Firebird
I'm presently seriously in love with FireBird but also starting to be romanced by Chatzilla.  Now Chatzilla, which used to come with Mozilla, is a FireBird extension and if you need it, look here.    
Note: Not much blogging going on today as I'm out of my home office and away from Radio.  Hm... This is getting serious.  Perhaps it is time to move to a purely server side blogging approach.  Anyone have a url to that Radio tool which outputs everything to an RSS backup file?
