 		It isn't 11pm Saturday for us Sydney Sider's.
When it reaches 11pm we will still have to wait another hour because we do not turn our clocks back until Sunday. So when it reaches Midnight on Saturday then we can start viewing the webcam.. However, when it reaches 1am on Sunday then we turn our clock's back an hour.. so when it's 1am it is really Midnight on Saturday. If you don't touch your clock until Sunday 3am-ish (I think this is the hour it's supposed to be turned back??) then when your clock hit's Midnight Dinah should appear.

Just thought I would clear it up so everyone isn't confused Wink

 		I'm going to be saving images of the online cam every 2 seconds for the entire hour. (Basically loading the image on 'Fast' setting, and just saving it to disk), which is going to come out to 7k per image.

Then going to put them together in movie format, and/or zip the images up for people to download.

Example of my script running for not too long: http://whataboutpp.com/arg/ex/

Note: The images are saved in: 'hour.minute.second.jpg' format.

I'm going to try to run this for awhile as they are only 7k per image.. hopefully will be able to catch on to things that we may have missed being there at a specific time.

 		Sudden Saturday Spec!
I've just been on the webcam wondering what we might see, then it occurred to me that the fast update is very unusual with most webcams, even in this day and age. This led me to thinking that this webcam may have been chosen for that reason as you can see the vehicles moving across the screen. Here's the good bit...

...Maybe the PM's have hired an advertising van (you know, one of the triangular ones) to drive up and down abbey road from 12 til 1pm with a message for us, (another part of the article about the stolen cube), so it can be seen both from the webcam and from being there in person. The only thing I can't figure out is how this relates to Dinah. Any ideas?

 		OK: it's :30 mintues to go here in USA. Are we all aware of the Slashdotting Effect? Are we going to crash the webcam by requesting streams all at once and then not get to see anything?

Anyone? I mean I HAVE to watch - but SHOULD I?

at 5 minutes into the window i clearly saw an ad van (the ad was black with something light - silver or white - centered on it) come to the corner in the upper left of the image and turn up and drive away... probably nothing but a funny coincidence

ok, i just saw the same truck again! i'm not sure it's an ad van, when it turns up the street it appears to be too wide so it's possibly an actual truck, but i've seen it twice in five minutes at the same corner... anyone else notice that? is it just a common truck in london?

[04:02] <Snowball> then again the line ------------------------------------------------

 		Clues around Abbey road have given the sentence:

Quote:

Dinah has been delayed at MC but she will arrive before 13 hours she will require a password before handing over any information


Also a clue:

Quote:
Stock Market (Cool


Current spec is that it's a crossword clue - EXCHANGE could be an answer...
