Few things are as taxing as waiting for an iMac to arrive. It doesn’t help when your girlfriend drags you away for the weekend to go to a wedding… “I have friday off, so you can work from my mother’s house”, “yes, but I’m expecting the iMac on Friday… ugh”. What is a modern man to do in such situations?
Set up a video surveillance system using a web cam, a 2m USB 2.0 extension lead plugged into the home multimedia Ubuntu system, with motion detection, of course!
Thats the doorman showing in the UPS delivery guy this morning with the iMac and no doubt commenting on how much of a paranoid freak the resident is to have set up a video camera!
Now its just a question of working out how to cope with the rest of the weekend ahead knowing that the box is sitting there in the darkness just waiting to be opened, not to mention the spanish wedding.
Sadly, they left the box just outside the view of the camera, and the lighting is rather poor so I can only make solace with the fact that any suspicious activity will be immediately sent to my server.
