Yahoo Widget cam viewer

This is probaby better suited to a FAQ but lacking that at the moment, the forums seem to be a good place :)

I've used Yahoo Widgets (formerly Konfabulator) on and off and they can be handy little buggers. Now that I've got even more cams, I thought it'd be a good time to point out a handy widget that's great for viewing multiple cams (mine, others, any cams!). You can position it anywhere, make it always on top, and easily switch between a multi-cam and single cam view.

Start by downloading and installing Yahoo Widgets (making sure to uncheck the toolbars and default search engines and crap, unless you want them). Then I right-click and close pretty much all the widgets it comes with :P Download the Multicam widget and open the file from within Yahoo Widgets. Go into Multicam's preferences and click on cams 1-4, adding in the URLs for whatever cams you want. Here would be the settings for mine:

Cam #1 - http://www.stephthegeek.com/stephcam.jpg 1 min refresh
Cam #2 - http://www.stephthegeek.com/cam1.jpg 15 sec refresh
Cam #3 - http://www.stephthegeek.com/cam3.jpg 15 sec refresh
Cam #4 - http://www.stephthegeek.com/viewcam.jpg 10 min refresh

Anyone know of any other handy cam utilities?

Doesn't have anything to do

Doesn't have anything to do with IE. It's a separate app. Think I'd promote an IE-related program? :P

IE Tab

I've had a bit of trouble recently logging into the .com and .tv portals using Firefox. I'd log in but Firefox would reload showing me as not being logged in. However, using the IE Tab extension in Firefox has solved this problem.

I've been using something single-image for a while now on Konfab. WebImages or somesuch. It keeps blinking out of existance lately though, so I'll give this a whirl.
