[pm-h] Livening up the Group

Perhaps I'm unduly influenced by my bike ride today, but I'm somewhat interested
in the idea of a wireless bayou-cam network. In particular, strategically placed
web cams that, via (hopefully also conveniently located) wireless hookups, could
be aggregated on a site to monitor such interesting things as flood conditions
on the bayous, bat colony activity under the Waugh street bridge, bayou
flotsam/jetsom monitoring (via diffs), etc.

(I'm not much of a spy cam kind of guy, so some thought would have to go into
the positioning of such cameras).

Programming for such a site aside, there would be other real obstacles --
wireless access, theft or vandalism of cams, ...

Those working 'in the field' should be comfortable with sweat, mosquitoes, and
the alluring stench of bat guano. ;)
