| Q: | Why are you doing this? |
| A: | It started off as a joke between friends. Honestly! My friends and I traded interesting URLs and I started stumbling over lots of outdoor/scenery cams, pet cams, and even the ever appealing "Spam Cam", which sought to answer the burning question, "Is Spam organic?" Then I stumbled on Michael Fischer's Spy Cam and Dan-O-Cam and Don's Office Camera. Don's cam really did influence me--mostly because on those miserable nights when I'd be working late, I'd peek in on Don's cam--and there he'd be, too! Then came the kicker, "JenniCam". Jennifer let us into her dormroom 24/7. I thought that was incredibly brave of her. My friends and I all became avid Jennifer watchers. Of course, Jennifer had a real life, too, classes, part-time jobs, and a social life, so we'd have endless hours of JenniShoerack and JenniEmptyBed and JenniBathroomDoor. Yet still we left that remote window running. :)
So I ruminated upon these things and came to the conclusion: I'm at least as interesting as watching Spam rot under glass and slightly more attractive than a shoerack. Hence, the "Endlessly Thrilling Office/Home Cam" was born. If my friends were THAT hard up for entertainment, at least they could watch someone they actually knew! :) The URL was obscure, only my local friends knew it. And then I registered WebCam32. (Hi, Neil!) He published my URL. :P I didn't know this! Suddenly I was getting e-mail from strangers commenting on my messy office and asking what I did to have so much junk laying around or complimenting me on my outfit. As it turned out, having 30 or 300 or 3000 people watching me wasn't much different from having my local friends keeping tabs on me. To this day, I'm still amazed that anyone watches at all! I've made some wonderful on-line friends and helped other people set up other cameras as well. In the end, it's the commonality of humanity that I hope to illustrate. I have bad hair days, cranky days, sexy days, bored days, just like you and everyone else. We work the grind, we go home, watch the tube, stuff our faces. Life goes on; we're not so different under the skin.

| Q: | When are you on-line? |
| A: |
I am on-line most business work days, Monday through Friday, 9:00 AM - 4:00 PM Central Standard Time, and some weeknights, typically after 8:00 PM CST. Weekends, I'm on after 11:00 PM CST.

| Q: | What is your cam set-up? |
| A: |
I'm a tech type--Geek Specs, I love it! ;)
People say I change hardware like some people change underwear. :) As a result, I have decided to keep the older entries of what my computer configurations are...just for grins. :)
At home, I'm running a Packard Bell Video Camera (of surprisingly high quality!) off an ATI All-in-Wonder card on a self-built PC with a Cyrix 6x86 PR200+, 64 megs of RAM, and a 4.1 gig HD running WebCam32. My desktop is set to 24-bit TrueColor.
At home, I have the same computer, only the contents under the hood have changed somewhat. I know have a K6-2 3D Now/266 with 64 megs of RAM and a 4 gig hard drive, the ATI All-in-Wonder card. Somewhere between the two descriptions, I went through 3 motherboards and several processors. :)
At home, I have a Celeron 300-A overclocked to 450 MHz and 64 megs of RAM and a 8.4 gig hard drive and a Hauppauge WinTV Deluxe capture card. I still have the Packard Bell video camera.

| Q: | Do you answer all your mail? |
| A: |
Well...I READ all of my mail, but I get hundreds of e-mail messages. Time really prevents me from answering a lot of it, I'm usually behind a day or two. I mean
[whine mode:on] I have a life away from the computer [whine mode: off] I can just imagine some inner circle of hell reserved for those of us who fail to answer e-mail promptly. I pick out the most interesting ones to answer. And, let's face it, there aren't too many ways to answer, "Show me your ****" So, please, don't get bent out of shape if I don't answer your e-mail 5 minutes after you send it. And I rarely am reading mail real-time. :)
|
| Q: | What can I expect to see here? |
| A: |
Me. Working, goofing off, being silly, being mischievous, being downright naughty, being bored, sad, answering e-mail. I might get mischievous and impulsive, but this is by no means an adult site--there are plenty of other cams available to watch someone play hide the vibrator at.
|
| Q: | Are you chatting someplace? |
| A: |
Sometimes. A lot of my chatting happens via ICQ. My UIN is 1064081. I also maintain an IRC channel at DALnet, #jameycam, but truth be told is I've been pretty bad about showing up--but I'm trying to get better. :) IRC requires more attention than ICQ, and at work, my prime cam time, it's hard to give IRC the attention it requires.
|
| Q: | Are you married? |
| A: |
I am not married, but I am very much involved! :) I've got more than enough on my plate at the moment, but I am always interested in meeting new friends.
|
| Q: | Where can I send you neat stuff? |
| A: |
LOL! I'm kidding! But I have had inquiries as to where people could write me/send stuff snail mail, so here's my mail drop:
Jamey Dee 4771 Bayou Blvd. #164 Pensacola, FL 32503 If you send stuff, yes, I'll wear it for the cam if it's within reason. :) And a great big special bear hug to the fellow (he knows who he is) who sent the replacement motherboard when I had my computer woes. :)
|
| Q: | What are your sizes? |
| A: |
Because you asked:
Bra 34C Panties Size 6 T-Shirts Large (I like 'em baggy!) In all other things, medium is the way to go. :)
|
| Q: | Where's the archive? |
| A: |
:) Very close by...http://www.rearwindow.com/jdarchive. I don't run it, BTW, it's mostly Zrix, Dolemite and SF's project. :) I just provide the space.
