I dropped the stack of Christmas cards off at the post office yesterday, so it's time to post the newest version of the annual family Christmas Newsletter on the site...
The BallotBox webcam was still prompting users for a username and password and it's not supposed to do that anymore, so I re-designed the logic to FTP an image to the web site every 60 seconds, and pull that image rather than pulling directly from the webcam. The webcam page doesn't touch the webcam directly anymore! This runs every minute, 24 hours a day, seven days a week (unless we lose power at the BallotBox or something is amiss with the server's FTP reception) so if you check after dark (Eastern Time), expect to see nothing but black! If the image is out-of-date, the FTP reception is off.

I found this cool free visitor counter that tallies by country (registered country of the IP address of the visiting machine, I suspect) that I added to the front page at the bottom. Too bad it couldn't be retro and show visitors since the 1994 introduction of the VOGT Family TreeHouse! Alas, the tallies start when I add the counter, which was this morning...
