Interesting history lesson G-CPTN thanks, Donald :)

Have you seen the other camera Steve has let us see, same view but better image and is like watching slow remote CCTV images as it only updates every 2 seconds.

Next trip

San Antonio, Tx - Galveston, TX - Dallas, TX (538 Miles)

The link to the 'supercam' seems to have disappeared.
Anyone got a URL?
I tried it last night but it seemed 'inactive'.

When I viewed it last night I was using another computer and wiped the history after I was finished so the URL is gone, if someone else viewed it then ‘history’ would be the place to look.

I too was using a different installation (albeit on the same computer) - due to software problems.

Change of plans for Steve

San Antonio, Tx - Uvalde, TX - Avondale, PA (1857 Miles)

Steve has altered the cam reducing it to 68 viewers with 62 online just now.

He is half way and his cam can take 100 viewers with 77 watching at the moment.

Steve is doing a poll - no harm to vote

Steve has a blog now so easy to catch up with his activities

US braced as snowstorm sweeps in

I realise that Stephen is 'down south' just now, having escaped the worst of the snow.

Steve is now in Arizona with 84 viewers watching him.

I've not been able to logon to the webcam (at http://www.bigrigtravels.com/ ) on my recently-repaired laptop.
Goes from 'connecting to media' to 'ready', though my 'backup' laptop accepts the webcam OK.
Probably a firewall effect - but how to diagnose and fix it?

When I first tried the bigrig website with the home computer a box appeared automatically stating I had to 'allow' something to view it (use Norton) but unable to remember what the something was.

Where's he gone? Is he not posting on here anymore?

He was featured on a big USA show and this attracted loads of interest and he also set up his blog as mentioned.

Ok, thankyou.

allow activx
 

When you first go to the webcam a small blue toolbar should appear at the top of your screen asking you to install the activeX to run the webcam.
allow the activeX and the webcam should start to buffer and run.

good luck, Les

Monday 4th May Big Rig Steve his truck is cucumbered Major coolant leak and Headlights keep blowing so he is at Volvo dealers

Ian

Lettuce Pray for him.

Taken from BigRigSteve blog

So what is wrong this time? I have been having to add coolant fluid at the rate of 1 gallon every week. There are no visible leaks, so it must be going somewhere! Regardless of where it is going, I constantly had to add to it, and if I made a sharp turn, the truck would automatically shutdown. Having a truck that does that is NOT good in a big city, much less any place.

Solved!!!!!

It trips out on the 'Tilt' mechanism Steve. It is a blasted pin ball machine you have there. All joking aside, I wonder how much sophistication you have in your electric equipment. I E. is there a piece of transmission or suspension adjusting/levelling equipment, which comes into play, with sudden changes of load distribution and/or, lateral dynamics?.

If it is associated with that feature of the vehicle performance, it makes me think that the equipment causing the electrical shut down, could be specific to that sharp turning function.

Good luck
Keep Truckin'
