WILDEARTH'S DJUMA - Cam discussion Wed 13 June 2007

Hi Ingwe!

Anyone connected yet? I've been clicking for about an hour now... when does the big dump happen?

Is the cam fixed then?

is there something wrong with the cam? I've been gone for a couple of days... last time i saw this was the second time they did the dump.

The dump has been happening about 10 minutes before the drive begins, but with the camera trouble, etc. it's hard to know when they will start or even if they will start.

what camera trouble???

The camera in the vehicle went out day before yesterday. There were no drives yesterday at all. They were flying in a replacement but it didn't get there in time yesterday. We don't know if it got there yet or not. There are big general strikes of public servant unions in the country, including nurses, police, ambulance and teachers. Penny told us about it. She said that Durban airport was reported to be closing on Weds. That's where she is. So the camera may not get there. It's prettty alarming, what's happening with the strikes. More unions are reported to be planning to strike in moral support, threatening to shut down the country.

OMGosh! Is Penny OK?

Yes, she said she bought groceries and I think they were planning to just stick to home. Her DIL or DD, don't remember which, it about due to have a baby too.

Here is the BBC version of the action:

Sounds horrible ... and dangerous!! :shock:

Ouch,...scary... :shock:

Wonder if the electric will be affected...

I'm on...got the usual afternoon dump, but I'm now used to it and, surprisingly, don't have to click as much to get back on *knocks on wood*.

It's terrible about about what's happening in SA. It's Penny's dd who's due the 24th of this month, Granny. Hopefully, things will have quieted down in the next few days...but, who knows.

Okay, I have to ask ....what is a dd??

Thanks, Granny for the update!! What distressing news for all in S.A. I'm glad Penny has prepared herself. It's a shame that the country has so many conflicts, still.

They are all in my prayers..

I think it's "darling daughter" :lol:

Thanks ex. My daughters would kill me if I called them my darling daughters lol Different customs, I guess :)

:lol: Actually, it's dear daughter. Just like dh is dear husband or in some cases, since this is a family channel :lol: ...."the location of the cam" husband. :lol:

That's funny Sherran. What view do you have on the DC?

Thanks Sherran, I didn't know what dh was either :)

Same view from this morning...early nightfall.

buff?? :oops: wrong thread

Slightly lit sky..trees and reflection of them in the wh...and, no not a live feed.

dear daughter, dil is daughter in law

Sorry,

I should not have posted that. I'm such a dweeb.

Hello, all. I've been clicking about an hour plus now and am getting the ordinary "Connecting to Media," then back to "Ready." Or, on occasion, the bufering signal (sort of like concentric semis-circles moving from left to right), without the "buffering" message below, and then back to "ready." Has anyone got anything better on Djuma?

That sounds like the normal pattern, Martha...but, until it starts loading you haven't gotten anywhere. I, surprisingly, got on within a few minutes tonite...and, standing by for the big bump. Good luck.

Morning!
Has any one checked WE Blog to see if they posted a further update since waiting for borrowed camera to hopefully get flown in? I have too many windows opened up, to open another... lol
