Frequently Asked Questions

• I tried controlling the camera with the buttons on the page, but the camera doesn't move. Why?
  Sometimes the software I'm using to interface the buttons with the 'bot locks up. I'm not sure if it's the software or my hardware setup. I'm still tracking it down.
  For now, I just have to reset the system and then it works again, for a while. If I'm at work when this happens, I can't fix it until I get home. I apologize for any inconvenience this may cause.
  
• You're never home. Why have a web cam so we can see you if you're never home?
  This webcam is set up so you can draw pictures on the Magna-doodle. Have fun with that.
• Do you ever go into your own chat room?
  I've now disabled the chat--it was too flaky and I never went in anyway.
• Do you/will you have fees to see your site?
  Not ever. There might be a login sometime in the future to use the 'bot because I want to give each person an uninterrupted chance to use it, at least for 5 minutes. On the other hand, if you want to send me money, send it c/o Your Favourite Charity. Or better yet, send it directly to Your Favourite Charity.
• What happened to the block stacker???
  The block stacker took up considerable room in the house. If and when I get some space, I may set it up again. For now, I think the Magna-Doodle is a very good replacement
