Pistonhead begging for loan PC...
Discussion
My housemate took delivery of his Westfield Megabird on Friday. In hundreds of pieces. I expect to witness a lot of knuckle scraping and swearing at the "effing thing" over the next few weeks and months, and it occurred to me that it would be quite fun to do a Frank the Cat style webcam (carhospital anybody?) so you can also watch him drill holes in the wrong places. Then I realised that my webcam software can also be set to take time-lapse photography, so by the end of the build it would be possible to make a movie of the build process.
Unfortunately I need my laptop for work and don't think I can get away with "working from the garage". Does anyone local to Cambridge have a machine they can lend me for a couple of months? Prefer a laptop for it's low power consumption and heat output (so I can keep it in a ventilated box to keep it clean). It must also have USB and win98/2000. A LAN card would be a bonus 'cos then I can make it a Webcam as well as time-lapse capturer.
The Build Diary will be published via Pistonheads and www.megabird.co.uk
Cheers,
Bonce
