Web cam.

What has been happing over the last week? Well this bug that attacked me ten days ago seems to have lost the battle, thanks to the new medication that I have been taking. Only another 15 tablets to go and the doc said, “I should be my old self again”.

Last weekend was a historically new era for me and my brother in the fact that we had set up Skype and the first audio session had worked perfectly, we went onto the next step which was to connect each other with a web cam and the big day was to be Saturday the 19^th. So off I went and bought a web cam, make (Logitech Quick cam Communicate Stx.) Now I am no expert in computers by far but I reckon I am intelligent enough to install a simple web cam. So I ask myself why doesn’t the bloody thing work? Here we are my wife and I on Saturday afternoon all in anticipation looking forwards to seeing and talking to my brother and his wife. The audio connection was good after I corrected it on my end but the video, well, we could see him but he couldn’t see us. No matter what I tried the bloody thing just didn’t work.

One thing was positive though we all enjoyed the conversation and we are looking forwards to our next link, by then I hope I have found the answer to the problem.

My health situation has picked up over the last couple of days that yesterday I was able to start my new job with my old company. Setting out on the Autobahn at a quarter to eight in the morning is a daft idea at any time and I should have known better, none the less after about 15 km I was stuck in a traffic jam that was eight km long and all in all it took me one hour and forty-five minuets to get to my destination which is a 100 km from were I live.

The first day was filled up with sorting out my salary, introducing myself to the collages that were new in the company and generally letting people know that I was on the pay list again. Afterwards I checked how far the fitters were with the alterations on the first machine I had a couple of meetings with the top guy to discuss what actually my job entails.

The weather situation at the moment is not all that bright, we have had a lot of rain and it is cold with night frost. The weather forecast is saying it is going to get warmer towards the end of the week and let’s hope they are right.

So now it’s back to finding out why this bloody Web cam doesn’t work, I must admit things that don’t work properly when they should get on my nerves.

Take care out there were ever you are. Tschüss.
