Webcam question

Here is one for the experts!

I need to find an easy way of streaming video from the webcam on my laptop when I am away from home. I have a netbook with a webcam and I have a "dongle" to access the internet via GPRS/3G.

So - what software do I need on the netbook so that I can stream what it sees to my home?

Any bright ideas out there?

Cheers

"The Pictures"

We also had a film made about us a while ago!

A lovely youg lady called Samantha Shaw made a film about three small cinemas like us and used it as her final piece of work towards a media degree.

I just found the film on Youtube and thought I would share it.

It is here: "The Pictures"

Give it a look.

Electric Palace piccies

Some time ago, a charming couple were taking pictures outside the Palace.

So - I invited them in to have a look at the projection room (we were running a film so I couldn't let them in to the cinema itself).

The result is a very good set of pictures that you can find here.

Do take a look - I think they are great!

Electric Palace, Harwich Digital Projector Fund!

The Electric Palace, where I am proud to be a volunteer projectionist, has just launched its latest appeal for funds.

We are hoping to buy a digital projector to add to our other two classic 35mm projectors so that we can continue to show films beyond the time that the main film distributors stop supplying film on "film".

There is quite a nice article in this weeks Harwich and Manningtree Standard if anyone wants to read it.
