[Lowfer] setting up a grabber

I have signed up with Dropbox. Not sure I want to fill up the box with a 
bunch of captures. I know I can set up Argo or Spectrum Lab to overwrite the 
image. Only problem I can see with dropbox is there is no auto refresh to 
see the latest image that has been uploaded. A person would have to manually 
refresh their browser. But its something to try and I can post the link to 
this reflector when I have it running.

Jay,

I've recently been using dropbox.  Instead of just showing a single
recent grab I've noticed several ops have started uploading complete
overnight captures.  The link dropbox gives for showing grabs is a bit
clunky but since most links are clickable that's not much of a problem.
Plus most of us know how to copy and paste a link if needed.  However in
order to simplify a grabber link today, with help from google, I think I
have learned how to make a page redirect that needs testing from outside
of my LAN.  See if this link shows grabs I started a few hours ago.  I
see Pat has just fired up on 137.7752.
