Nürburgring Webcam

I see they've finally got a webcam going at the 'ring. Positioned just above the start barriers looking down the final straight.

You have no idea how long it took me to get the 'ü' in the title - I was using a Mac at the time. Ended up having to search for a previous post so I could copy/paste!

Ended up having to search for a previous post so I could copy/paste! alt-u u = ü alt-u U = Ü All very easy on a Mac. I bet you don't even know where the n-dash [–] and m-dash [—] are either

Your right, I have no idea. And, try as I might, I cannot get the @ sign and " to swap!

O/T, but check to m,ake sure that you are using English(UK), rather then English(US) as the language seting. If these are reversed on a PC, the the @ and " swap places as you describe! Umlaut me up!

I swear I have checked every setting on the Mac to make sure all is UK to no avail. Must be a Microsoft keyboard thingy - even with the special software installed, I can't get it working. Grrr...

If someone could make a Yahoo! Widget (ex-Konfabulator) that would be great! Loads of webcam Widgets available, but none for the 'ring and none that it appears you can modify.

My wish is my command! Some very nice chappie in the US (Thanks to Brent Johnson) has produced a Widget which will display the 'ring webcam on your desktop. PM me if you want details of how to install this.

No, appears to have been 'stuck' since then.

Working again now...

I think this will be compulsive viewing in summer once the track opens to the public

Grrr, it's stuffed again. Either that or Germany is under a huge mushroom cloud
