Glastocam!

I'm not sure I can cope with this level of Glastocam scrutiny for the next 55 days. 😄

I think I saw someone say it before but this thread reminds me of football fans watching flight trackers during the transfer window 😁.

Trackway to allow the heavy lifting crane to get into place so it can lift the goalposts for the screens.

I truly wish I was on site and part of the build/breakdown team, rather than being stuck at my desk all day every day. I really need a career change.

I don’t think we’ll get that until a taller crane arrives. Doesn’t look to be the kind of equipment that could facilitate a lift on site right now.

They are also expensive to hire per day so it might wait until there is more lifting required.

Here's a shot of when the rigging was lifted in 2019, on 18th June (!!)

Here's my Javascript tool for retrieving webcam images, including stitching together the super high resolution images if they're available:

https://www.tievolu.co.uk/glasto/GlastoWebcamTool.html

Choose your date/time then click the image to download the highest resolution available in a new window. If the super high resolution image parts don't exist, or can't be downloaded for some reason, it downloads the "default" resolution instead.

Note: I can't be bothered to make it look nicer 😀

(I've had to use an open CORS proxy because the server responses for the older high resolution part images don't have the Access-Control-Allow-Origin header set. This seems to be an oversight, because recent snapshots have Access-Control-Allow-Origin set to allow all origins, as do the redirect URLs for the old images - but the response when retrieving the final URL does not. The CORS proxy is a bit of a fudge, and it's limited to 5 requests per second so it might not work properly sometimes.)

2019 was particularly late for the setup, here's a pic from 2017 from 9th May. We are still ahead, but only by about 10 days or so

In the scheme of things 10 days to me is a long time with a build like this … when I see how close to the wire things often get … pier I’m looking at you …. There’s not such a big amount of time left to build a city … and it’s great to see anything ahead

Spectrum on the webcam at the moment,  surely not a pink Floyd hint! 😉
