The obsessive webcam watchers thread!

[spikytom]

Lovely morning down on Worthy farm today. not really looking much like a festival yet though.

Its a bit like watching paint dry to be fair (not in a bad way!!)

[spikytom]

pants! well theyd better sort it out soon, it gets really exciting when they start putting tents up and stuff nearer the time! (when i say 'exciting', its not really exciting at all, yet still i cannot resist checking it constantly!)

Anyone know how to get this as a gadget in a Vista sidebar? Kind of like having it on active desktop in XP?

That'll teach me not to read the boards from the bottom up!

[General Lee]

Are you sure ... cos it now actually says

whereas it was still saying "broken" last time I looked at stupid o'clock this morning.

... wanders off to watch for genuine looking vehicular activity and stuff ! Bring on them tractors and diggers I say

[Craig_G]

That's quality. Loving the panoramic view!

[Dukeicon]

sorry... really, they are just stills. Aside from the fact, the tractor has been trundling past since last night, the light hasn't changed...(it was daylight at 11pm) and the fact it says webcam broken!

[Sam Crawley]

Oh.. my... goodness!

A cloud has just rolled across the tractor tanker.. Completely different lighting aspects people, get refreshing IMMEDIATELY!!

[spikytom]

yay, we are LIVE (ish) and direct!

I'm sure theyve usually put the sides of the pyramid on by now, i hope they get it finished in time!

When you search for the webcam on google, two different URLs are there on the bbc glastonbury website:

Working webcam for 2009:

www.bbc.co.uk/glastonbury/webcam/

Broken webcam from 2008:

www.bbc.co.uk/glastonbury/2008/webcam/webcam3.shtml

perhaps this is the cause of the confusion?

[cejx]

It is working! It went all dark last night, and there were orange lights in the distance on the right hand camera. I'm sure someone saved a picture of it somewhere....

[Cheesey]

how odd. Mine still is the same with absolutely no difference. poo bum.

[Dukeicon]

There is a tractor on the Pyramid camera!!

[spikytom]

and the little tractor tanker on the jazz world has finally trundled off!

[Laura_Babs]

Now that is the kind of weather we want!
