My LWHS iPhone App live on Apple App Store

It went live on July 4th. All you need to do is go into the Apple App Store on your iPhone or iPod Touch and do a search for LWHS or Lick-Wilmerding to find it. If you have an iPod Touch or iPhone and are part of the L-W community, this is a great tool to have to search the Directory, get althetics info and link into the school calendar and all the events. There is a lot more coming in the near future and those updates will come to you via the standard Apple App Store update process.

The My LWHS app is a free download.

L-W iPhone App on the way!

Should be getting an iPhone App shortly for my school, Lick-Wilmerding. We are waiting on Apple to clear the application through its crazy approval process. This will be a great way for Lick-Wilmerding Students, Parents, Faculty and Alumni to stay connected to the school. It will be available in the App Store shortly and be free of charge.

Here are some screenshots.

Get Evocam live feed to publish to iPhone

If you are using Evocam on OSX for a webcam, you can change the Built-in Web Server setting

Display stream using: Server Push

This allows the live web video feed to be accessed via Safari on an iPod Touch or iPhone. Using the Java Applet works just fine on desktop browsers, but due to the lack of iPhone Java support, you have to go this route. Very slick. We use Evocam with an old iSight camera to check in on the dog from time to time and it is great to be able to do this via the iPhone. Evocam is the best webcam product out there on the Mac (nothing even comes close) and very much worth the license charge.
