One week camera outage

The webcam (with its PC) had been running continuously since March 2010 - quite robustly without any problems. On Friday 23.July 2010 in the afternoon a brief power outage occurred at the Headingley campus. And after that the webcam image was no longer updated. I had no opportunity to fix this problem before now, so the cam image remained steady for more than a week - apologies!

When I checked today, the computer was completely shut-down. It might have also been that the PC was shutdown by someone, unrelated to the power outage. Restarting it had a slight problem, due to two different webcam software version that had been installed. Version 1.0.5 was the one that ran now properly. In any case the camera is up and running now fine.
