Anyway, I stayed home and did some DIY. You know how some chavs smashed some windows? My dad wanted to catch them. And what better way than to use a hidden camera? Seems like the police couldn't be bothered to help, so this was my solution.

I feel like a spy
I was supposed to go town today, to see some CNY festival thing in Birmingham, but someone decided not to go out after all..

This is a screenshot of the laptop. Basically what I did was, position the camera on the windowsill and used 'Yawcam' to preview the alleyway. Yawcam also allows me to detect motion, so that whenever something moves, it takes a picture and e-mails it to me. I can also check the cam through my iPod Touch or my phone.
