Oooh!  The latest bit of fun from the offices of Insight.  This is how it works:

• A £2.39 iPhone Application called Phonecam which turns your iPhone into a wweb cam that will take photos every 'x' seconds and upload them to a server.
• Our website then uses Ajax to display the most recent image and refresh it every 5 seconds

It's absolutely as simple as that.  It's taken me about 10 minutes to get it all set up and it looks like it's working a treat.  So, it's 9.30 on a Friday night and I'm sat at home looking after the kids.  If you're looking now, then you might catch a glimpse of me making a cup of tea.  If you're reading this at any other time then you'll see whatever I'm pointing the camera at right now.

I can't think of any totally practical applications for this but if you have an iPhone and it's just sitting in a dock on your desk or something then why not do something creative with it!
