Webcam scraper for desktop?
I'd love to have my desktop change every few minutes to reflect updates on a few webcams I really like. (Not those kinds... ones from back home. 
)
*Optimally*, I'd like to enter in 4 or 6 URLs and have the desktop split into subsections for those cams, and have them autoupdate with the server-side push used when viewing them in the browser. I'll settle for having one at a time though.
If someone knows of a screen saver that does the same thing, I can use bgscreensaver to plop it on the desktop.

Sounds like it might... I'll give it a shot when I upgrade to 10.4...

You can give Webcam Saver a try. I think it will do what you want. They have a trial version.

Looks like it might.... if it weren't Windows only. I'll keep looking.
