This place blows my mind. They've been there less than an hour and we've identified delivery time and method and exactly what they are, down to the brand. 

What's their purpose? On site live in security for the build?

To be honest, they're fairly distinctive and I've seen them up close plenty times in production areas of various festivals so it was memory rather than any research.

My best guess is that it's about a month too early to have security on site (not a lot of point until the fence starts going up), and because of the cost typically units like that go to key members of the production crew rather than regular security staff. I'd say maybe it'll be for whoever's coordinating the build?

Found something out about the webcam, which is useful/nice.

The main live image is made up of 9 images stitched together (last image is just a slither).
You can grab the separate parts of the image from the archive (not live though unfortunately that I can tell). Which means better quality images from the archive.

For example from 2019:

09-00-00_full_2_0.jpg

You need to replace _default.jpg at the end of the URL with _full_0_0.jpg etc

Shame the don't store the complete images or split for the live version.

Looking pretty muddy here:

Might want your trail shoes on if you're out running today @deebeedoobee

to be honest, it is a long time since trail shoes were needed on the farm.  It is rock hard on the tracks in pretty much all weathers, the amount of chippings and hardcore put down between festivals has taken the splash out of it.  I quite like the mud and soft surface when running, now it is effectively running on roads apart from random potholes.

what appears on the webcam is a bit of surface damp and nothing more.  You are more likely to get shite splashed up your legs at the moment from leaky pipes and run off, lots of slurry and muck spreading going on.

Ok folks just back and sat here in a smelly sweaty mess. Its a warm day for running ( well for me it is, I like about 5-10 degrees). 

So we have:

Piles of old pallets and scrap wood up at Dragon field. Probably ready for the bonfires.

A rather lovely wall going into the stone circle field. Plus some area cleared near the peace garden, in front of the wood nymph. Probably for seating maybe?

Arcrania still stands unlit

Alone in perfumed fields

Amongst the cow sh....poo

 

Can I have a cuppa tea now?

Thanks for the update! How long was today's run?

As it happens I noticed the same thing today, although those very high resolution images don't seem to be available for every snapshot in the past.

I started tinkering around with some simple Javascript to lookup and retrieve the highest resolution image available from the archive for any date/time, including stitching these high resolution parts together if they're available. I might have something to share tomorrow.

@hfuhruhurrhas made something so you can look up previous dates, so maybe this come be combined.

Here it is: https://www.freeyourfeeds.com/glastocam.php

Panomax also has an API (not documented from what I can see) with lists if dates of images that I was looking at earlier today (don't have the links on my mobile).

Haha, that's scarily similar to what I knocked up earlier today!

No idea how to merge the high res images in PHP, but I've got it working in Javascript by downloading them all, putting them side-by-side in a canvas element, and then pulling out the whole thing as a single jpeg. I'll tidy it up a bit and share it tomorrow 👍

The Panomax API might be useful, if only to quickly check whether a chosen date/time is valid. The camera doesn't capture images overnight, but the start and end times for each day vary throughout the year. Not sure if it's based on sunrise/sunset times, or ambient light levels, or something else, but right now I can't see a reliable way of only allowing valid dates/times to be chosen.

    • Well he is on a rape charge, don't see that one as controversial.    Although Hakimi is in Morocco squad.   
    • Electric Callboy just said they'll be touring here next year. I'm not sure there's a poster for it though. I'll look when I'm near some next.      He said we'll see you at Download at a gig before any of the band. Presumably he was trolling. They're in Austria at the moment and Germany tomorrow with a week's break and more shows in Germany. Whilst not impossible to come back here and then go over there again, it seems unlikely. 
    • Thomas Partey, knocked back by Canadian immigration now.
    • I'm sure someone can update you on the clashfinder, and it will be pretty accurate by the time the festival comes around. It's a large flat-ish arena with main stage in the open air, no best side I'd say. Leadmill (3rd stage medium tent) is at the back of the main arena, T'Other (2nd stage big tent) 5 min walk round the corner. At full capacity walking around can take a bit more time though. I noticed that The Enemy are scheduled to not fully overlap with Wolf Alice, so you could catch part of their set too.   You can walk around anywhere with a beer, with most bars the usual mass market stuff, but one nice craft ale tent, back of the arena near the Leadmill stage. A main meal will set you back £10-15, but cheaper snacks also available. Expect a pint to be £7-8. Possibly a bit more this year as prices everywhere are increasing.   It's fairly easy to get to from the town centre using the tram, although can be busy at peak times / very busy at curfew. If you like a walk, it's approx 40 mins to Kelham Island (lots of indy venues) and probably an hour to the city, or catch an Uber. There will be loads of 'fringe' music events on around the city right through the weekend. Most are free. Have a wonderful trip, enjoy the festival, and your stay in our city! 
    • I think people on a place like this, that clearly value live music more than most, don't. I'd rather an academy than an arena every day. But I could see a few people that care about "the gram" than the actual music wanting an arena experience even if it's a mid sized band.
