The Donkey Cam is in trouble!

Been that way since noon time, I don't know what happened to it, but not good. Actually, I am not enjoying the cams at all anymore, they really need regular maintenance, don't think I will be renewing my membership. Sorry to say that, but just my feelings.

Debbie: Let Jake have a chance to get things up and running. He said he was mostly off island except for a few days at a time this year. He is hoping to be done with his business travels by September and will revamp all cams then. At least that is what he seemed to say the other day. Whacky cams at times but still love the connection.

Dan, I know "J" does all he can, I think it is more of a hobby for him. Anyway, I can always join again when cams all get working and are maintained better.I so miss the u/w cam too. This past 12 months have not been good with the cams. My membership runs out June 8th, so will no longer get to be able to go to the archives.

Debbie,

I know, having a place on island, how internet connections can be, and all the hassles it is to keep the cams going. That said, I don't want anyone to take this the wrong way, just me saying good bye to a good friend as the cams are what brought me to BT in the first place. Been a member for a long time now. Was not an easy decision to make. Have had a lot of fun on the cams too.

Jake, you posted while I was typing. You can train me to do whatever needs taking care of that I can do. I like that concept a lot. Yes siree!

It would be good to have you on-board, Debbie (Martin's the head of the cadre though since he's done the most servicing of the cams with and without me :-) ).
|
By Dan Jolly (Extraordinary BonaireTalker - Post #1363) on Friday, May 22, 2009 - 4:57 pm: |
Jake - great idea. How can we all help. I would be glad to but am not on island more than sporadically in any given year.

Jake, on island next June 7-14, short trip, daughter is going to do a Scientific Diving course at CIEE. Just getting her set up, then fun in the sun rest of week. Will Martin still be on island? Will be available for any training he might be able to show me. He must know I do use the the word thingie for techy stuff. But, once shown, I am all good! Good on visual training. I have cleaned the u/w cam, so I am good to go with that.

By Jake Richter - Richter Art Gallery (Supreme BonaireTalker - Post #6453) on Friday, May 22, 2009 - 5:16 pm: |
I think Martin's leaving in the next few days, and I will be home 25 hours (assuming flights are on time on both ends) at the end of this month.

Well, one thing that needs to be done is that we need to standardize all the equipment and then write up a service guide that even occasional visitors to Bonaire (like you, and presently myself) could use to take care of basic maintenance as well as troubleshooting.

By Martin de Weger (Supreme BonaireTalker - Post #4933) on Friday, May 22, 2009 - 5:34 pm: |
Jake, count me in. I'll send you an email with some pictures, so we can set up a "Masters of the Cams" training book.

OOPS I put my hands up for the DonkeyCam, I gave it a clean but looks like the focus ring locks screws weren't as tight as they should be! it was ok immediately after the cleaning but appears to have gone out of focus as I was climbing down the ladder!!
