Anonymous asked: Isn't about time to put a count down calendar on the site for when Dion returns from her sabitcal.

You know, I kind of want it to be a surprise. ;)

Anonymous asked: why is the camera not in its regular places lately?

the driver for the bedroom seems to have a conflict with the new flash encoding software and i havent had time this week to properly troubleshoot it.  it’s very disappointing because in the initial tests before i flipped over to flash for production the bedroom cam was definitely working.  aside from that, all the rest of the cams should be the same. 

Anonymous asked: What are some of the updates/improvements we can expect to see on the site in the near future?

I’M GLAD YOU ASKED, the first improvement that I’ve been wanting to do for a long time is for the premium members. I’ve been working with a 12 year old process of updating and serving those premium streaming videos that was really geared to accommodate dial up users but today just serves to make the user experience clunky and inconsistent for users on different platforms (especially mac/apple/nix users that cant properly authenticate from a windows media server easily). Now watching premium videos should be a much more familiar experience for anyone that’s ever been on a modern flash video sharing site. Check out the announcement yesterday on the updates forum with some previews of this new configuration. I know Dion is gone for the next 5 months or so, but do know that I have a vast reservoir of raw material to draw from to continue to update while she’s gone. Not to mention, I’m still here! 

The next task on my desk is to fix the “sticky” cam thumbnails that have plagued the cams recently. This problem is quite a tangled knot of intrigue and mystery that I’ve been working hard on this week to repair and make reliable and consistent again. These thumbs are important for the nominations to work correctly, which is the next improvement.  

The public gallery was promised 2 years ago to be tagged and searchable so the tens of thousands of pictures could be better utilized.  Say you want to search for pictures specifically for pictures of Joe, or Arrian, or whoever — a patch finally came out for my gallery script that fixed this tagging system and I will be working over the next weeks to get the photos tagged (maybe even try to find a way to crowd source this task) so that this will be possible, and from now on every new gallery added will be tagged during the upload just like you do on facebook.  

Next “improvement” is really just a content update, I have literally thousands of user submitted nominations from 2011 to sort through and get uploaded to a both the public and premium nomination galleries to get caught up. Once caught up I expect to go back to at a minimum monthly updates of those galleries.

I would also like to add features to the site that reflect my current self.. yeah I fucked a LOT 10 years ago so that was a main feature of the site then, but these days I’m settled and play a lot of video games — I’d like to get into broadcasting some PS3 tourneys and casual games that can bring webseth into that niche. As well I’d like to increase Sam’s exposure on the site to promote awareness to the world about cage-less rabbit living and chip away at the current dogma that keeps so many pet rabbits treated like toys to be “put away” when not “in use.”

These things will take (not necessarily substantial) investment though, so I need to find ways to monetize and keep webseth self-sufficient so I’m not sinking my already short supply of funds into it to keep it going.  Unfortunately ad’s seem to be a problem, as the nudity prevents me from running mainstream ad’s — and the non-pornographic nature of the site prevents me from being comfortable loading the site up with adult ads.  I may do a “fund raiser” at some point this year to get some proper updates of my equipment , I would really like to have at least one HD camera and live stream as well.  the equipment i have now is all from 10+ years ago. 

So just keep me book marked and checking back!  As the site improves, do tell your friends and share my url on whatever networks you have, because word of mouth is pretty much the only source of new traffic for this site!

Thanks to all that have stayed with me over pretty much my whole life at this point!  It’s not over yet!

Anonymous asked: Is Dion now attending school in the states? And if so, how are you feeling about that?

She’s doing a semester abroad and I’m happy and excited for her.  It’s some great experience and it’ll even help her get to understand me a little better spending some time in the states and seeing what I grew up with.  She’ll be back in june and her being gone will give me some time to focus on my own self-improvement since we’ve been pretty much hip to hip for so many years.  I’m sure I’ll be lonely at some point but it’s not anything i can’t handle.  

Anonymous asked: Your living room view is black and white...why not color

That is the nighvision/infrared mode of the camera..  it’s an old panasonic digital8 camcorder and it performs very poorly indoors with low lighting conditions.  putting it in IR mode makes for a much clearer image with more contrast.. when I left it in normal color mode the image is just really washed out and blurry.  you’ll notice when it’s day time and windows are open i’ll turn it to normal mode because the natural sun light is enough for a better picture.

so to answer your question, the video feed is actually better in black and white nightvision than color because the camera is so shitty.  

Anonymous asked: Would you ever consider doing a reality show? since your on cam alot like the reality stars are?

yeah i would, i have a lot of ideas on how to do a “reality” show in a more genuine and useful format.  I think it would be hard to find the kind of backing i need that would be willing to take the chance on doing something like that though.  Investors usually like what works, not what might work.. 

Anonymous asked: how old are you ?

I’m 30, which means i’ve been doing this thing in some shape or another for 15(!!!) years now

Anonymous asked: where is your 2011 cam cap gallery??

This is something that got away from me — the mechanics of how that works was really meant to handle a few hundred pics at a time (a month or so worth of nominations).. however today there are something like 20k+ nominations for me to sift through, and i have to break it all out into folders and chew through it a few hundred at a time.

It’ll come, it’s just a matter of me sitting down and doing it.. 

Anonymous asked: Ever have sex with an older woman? How much older?

The oldest woman i’ve had sex with was 29 when i was 21, and that barely counts because she was asian and looked the same age as me.  Also weird was that she was a shy virgin so was able to work my mojo and make that happen.. but again, usually the cliche is an older woman with all the tricks, and this definitely wasnt that. so the technical answer is yes, but really no.  not for any specific reason, i just often hung out with a younger/university crowd and that was my pool to swim in. IF YOU KNOW WHAT I MEAN. 

Anonymous asked: why isnt the camera showing the living room lately?

i have family visiting for the next three weeks, the living room cam has been taken out of rotation for that time.  It will be back after that.
