I had planned on making the car controllable from twitter but that
failed (twitter changed stuff and I hadn't updated my code), I was
then using a web app to control it and Kris was trying to work some
SSH magic to make that visible on more than just my laptop.

Ah, where you see hassle I see an opportunity to have some fun playing
with cameras :)

I'd quite like to get something going out live (or being uploaded
somewhere shortly behind live) since SFD stuff happening all over the
place at the same time(ish) means there might be enough interest to
get a wider audience.

Theory is when you know something, but it doesn't work. Practice is
when something works, but you don't know why.  Programmers combine
theory and practice: Nothing works and we don't know why.
