=== Police Hunt Naked Hiker
LONDON (Reuters) - Worried police are searching for a
naked rambler who has been enjoying the sights along
a famous British walking trail wearing only a floppy
hat and a pair of hiking boots, the Times newspaper
reported Tuesday. The man has startled other ramblers
on several occasions in the past fortnight during
his walks in the Yorkshire Dales in northern England,
where he has been seen at several points on the
270-mile Pennine Way.
During one sighting, the rambler -- described as in
his late 30s, of athletic build and sporting an all-
over tan -- was reported to have said a cheerful
"good afternoon" to a woman.
On another occasion he obligingly covered up,
temporarily, after a male passer-by told him
to put some clothes on.
Acting Chief Inspector Tadeusz Nowakowski, who is
leading the hunt, said the mystery rambler could
face charges of outraging public decency.
"These incidents might be quite tame, but the police
are taking them seriously due to the distress they
have clearly caused to the public," the Times
quoted Nowakowski as saying.
"Imagine if your wife was stuck up on her own in
the Dales, having her sandwiches and a bit of a
nap when suddenly this man comes bumbling around
the corner," Nowakowski said.

What, one has to ask oneself, precisely is Nowakowski worried about? An
unfavourable comparison? That the average 'wife' is likely to lose all
self-control at the sight of a man who has an 'athletic build'? That he
might seize her sandwiches?
The sight of Blunderov stumbling around naked in the woods would be
genuine grounds for grievance I concede, but this fellow appears to be
making a positive contribution to scenic potential of the area.
I'm mystified.

I am testing out this new Panasonic net security camera. This seems like
a great test groups as you are all over the world and comp savvy. It's
got pan / tilt, presets, all the stuff you need for a cool camera to
work online. Since I am only a hop of two away, I can't really test it,
so I was hoping some of you would take the time to log onto the camera,
play with it a little, and let me know how it looks.

This should give you camera control. You will need IE and mpeg4. What
will you see? A piece of my office - not too exciting. Sorry bout that.
