Fridge Cam: The first two weeks

Archive: 8 posts

<img src="http://mediamolecule.com/images/assets/fridgecam/fridgecam.jpg" class="floatright marg" alt="Fridge Cam"/>Regular blog readers will have noticed we were recently <a href="http://www.mediamolecule.com/blog/article/whats_going_on_here/" >tinkering in our fridge</a>, installing a PS Eye disguised as a carton of Orange juice; as you do.

The setup, known as Fridge Cam, is part of our new Intranet, providing snaps of fridge pickers, for no particular reason, to our <a href="http://mediamolecule.com/images/assets/fridgecam/intranet-snap.png"/>Intranet homepage</a>. The PS Eye is hooked up to an old laptop sat on top of the fridge. Software running on the laptop is activated by movement - so every time someone opens the fridge door, it saves a photo every second for ten seconds to its hard drive. An Apache web server with a simple PHP scripts then serves out the photos and a JSON feed to our Intranet… It’s already snapped about 5000 photos.

Let’s take a look at some of the pics that have been snapped so far…

<p class="caption">Understandably, not everyone has welcomed the arrival of Fridge Cam.

<p class="caption">We <em>think</em> this is Matt’s hungry face, but whatever it is, it’s slightly worrying.

<p class="caption">That’s <strong>definitely</strong> Spaff’s hungry face.

<h3>Omar</h4>

Omar deserves a special mention as he is such a frequent visitor to the Fridge, we could consider renaming it to “Omar Cam”. He even puts on impromptu dance routines…

<p class="caption">Posing, again.



So there you go - a few intimate moments within the Fridge, caught by Fridge Cam. I expect they’ll be more posts like this over the coming months…. stay tuned fridge dwellers!

This Spaff Appreciation Day will be a good one.

(Perhaps it should just be "Mm Appreciation Day"?)		2011-08-26 00:12:00

I sense that someone's lunch/snacks was stolen one too many times. That's funny. Omar will probably get his own reality show now.2011-08-30 13:18:00
