Local traffic webcam using a Widget

by saumeetgs May 27, 2006 4:43AM PDT

My favourite wallpaper is courtesy of Yahoo widgets. It shows a rotation of upto 15 webcams from around Sydney, displaying current still shots of the traffic, both city and suburban. I admit it has the downside of being rather cpu hungry if I have it set to rotate camera's quickly but it's nice to be able to sit at my pc and still see at least some of what's happening around me. If I had a car I guess that I would find it usefull that way as well but I don't, so, I don't.
