A Little Snow and improved Internet

That day started off a little wintery.  We had about an inch of snow early this morning.  Perhaps some of you saw the new snow on the llamacam.  Fortunately this snow should be short lived, because we have a forecast for 50+ degree weather this weekend.  Some warm weather will be a welcome change from the 15-20 degree pattern we have been in for the past week.

🙂 The HugheNet upgrade happened today.  It only took the installer about an hour to change out the old modem and dish.  So far the Gen4 system is a big improvement over our older HughesNet connection.  I haven’t measured the download speeds yet, but it does feel much zippier than before.  My fingers are crossed that it will continue to perform well.

Up and Running on the New Server

After a couple of weeks work, I have finally gotten the Yellow Wood Llamas website up and running on a new server. The DNS was transferred yesterday and should be fully propagated by Friday.

I also installed a new camera for the main Llamacam. It should be more reliable and provide better images than the prior camera.

The llamas seemed to enjoy watching me work in 15 degree weather hooking up the new camera :-).

Well I am finally getting around to replacing the camera that keeps tabs on the llamas barn porch.   The previous camera failed several months ago and I just didn’t have the time  to research and buy a new camera.  I know, you say how could you not have time since you are retired. I plead no contest!  I just seems as if the days fill up so much with other activities that I often wonder how I ever found time to work.

The new camera has arrived and I plan to setup and install it sometime next week.  It is a little different than our other cameras so I  may have to tinker with it a bit before I figure out the best way it should be  setup and installed.  Hopefully that will happen in the next few days and so everyone will be able to enjoy the better views of the llamas soon.

Hopefully, all will work as planned and everyone will be able to enjoy some better quality images of the llamas as they lounge around on the porch or the beach as we call it.
