Welcome To Daniel's Multiple Panda Cam Feeds Pages

You Have Landed At:
~ Site Updates History ~

<<<<< END OF UPDATES >>>>>

• May 12, 2013: One thing update
  • The page with the 5 U.S. Panda cams + Smithsonina's National Zoo Andean Bear den cam has been removed. Part of the update from the May 8 update from the National Zoo: "Many of you watched Andean bear cubs Curt and Nicole on the den cam as they learned to walk, play, and climb. Now, the cubs are ready for their next adventure—the outdoor yard! Last Friday, Curt, Nicole, and Billie Jean were shifted to Chaska’s old den at the opposite end of the exhibit, to provide them direct access to the large yard they will soon inhabit. Unfortunately, this means the family will no longer be visible on the Andean bear cub live-feed, as their new enclosure is not equipped with a cam. Unlike the giant panda habitat, which received a generous donation from the Ford Motor Company to update the exhibit’s existing cam technology, we are unable to outfit both dens and outdoor yards with additional cams at this time due to a lack of resources."

• January 16, 2013: First Update of 2013, A Lot More To Come
  • The Smithsonian's National Zoo Andean Bear den cam times out after 10 minutes. On my 5 U.S. Panda Cams + National Zoo Andean Bear Den Cam Page, I have added a auto refresh timer to the Andean Bear cam. The cam will automatically refresh after 9 minitues and 55 seconds.

• December 31, 2012: Last Update of 2012
  • With this update, you may have to clear your cache. Details on how this can be done can be found here. Or if you are on a Microsoft Windows computer you may press CTRL + F5, to do a hard refresh this will bypasses the cache and load the actual page as it is stored on the server.
  • Not Panda related, but for those that watch the Black Bear cams at the North American Bear Center (NBAC)in Ely, Minnesota; I have updated my NBAC page with the Lily's and Jewel's Den Cams.
  • Everyone have a Happy New Year!. In 2013 will bring new things to my websites; including a complete top-bottom makeover of all my pages and more! Stay tuned.

• December 20, 2012: Happy Holidays!
  • The Smithsonian's National Zoo welcomed to Andean Bear cubs, born to mother Billie Jean gave birth to cubs early in the morning of December 13, 2012. Some fans requested that I create a page with the 5 U.S. Panda cams and the National Andean Bear den cam, so I did. The new page can be accessed via this link or from the link under Panda Service Announcements (PSA) on the 5 U.S. Panda cams.
  • Looking forward to 2013...a rebuild of all my pages from the ground up, new features, and more!
    
    
• October 21, 2012: Countdown To Halloween, 10 Days To Go!

Effective immediately, the Zoo Atlanta cam window will remain on my cam pages. When the cam is off-line you will see the cam placeholder image (Facebook link). As a result of this change, the message above the cams "In case (slim chance) that I am not able to put the Zoo Atlanta Panda cam window up at 10am EST, Monday-Friday; you can go to this page; where the cam window is never removed. That page has auto cam refresh enabled)" has been removed.

• June 20, 2009: High Definition Panda Cam Is Coming To The San Diego Zoo Update
  • In the wintriest of faster page load times, I have re-organized by Blog page. Before all my blog posts (except for my Flight Blog July 2009: Washington DC <> Istanbul, Turkey blog post, which had a separate page due to it's length) were on the same pages. Some of the posts were more than just text. As a result, the Blog page, may of take extra time to load. So I solved that issues. Now each of the blog posts, have a separate page. Each blog post can now be accessed via the Blog page and then clicking "Read the rest of this entry." Another would to access the blog post via it's static link. Each of the blog posts, have shortened URL that can be found at the bottom of the page for that post. Another blog post will be coming this week.

• June 11, 2011
  • Both National Zoo cams are back online on my pages; the code needed to be updated....with this update, you may have to clear your cache. Details on how this can be done can be found here. Or if you are on a Microsoft Windows computer you may press CTRL + F5, to do a hard refresh this will bypasses the cache and load the actual page as it is stored on the server.
    • If you visit a web site frequently, your web browser stores elements of the web page in a cache so that they do not have to be downloaded again each time you visit, making your browsing faster. In some cases, when the web site is changed, you may not be able to view the changes because you are actually viewing the cache.
    • Clearing the cache will remove all of the older saved versions of web sites you visit, which means that the entire page will have to be freshly downloaded when you visit it. Clearing the cache is more time consuming than doing a hard refresh, and only needs to be done periodically, but can be beneficial if you are having difficulty with your browser.

It has been in that position since he beginning. But since the cam is only broadcasting Monday-Friday, 10am-5pm EST, and when the cam is offline this adorable graphic with what appears to be Mei Lan is in place of the cam.

I may be delayed in adding/removing the cam. If I know that I will not be able to add/remove the cam, I will put up a message under announcements (unforeseen circumstances excluded). So I have created this page, it's is identical to the 5 U.S.A. Cam page (auto-refresh), the only difference is the Zoo Atlanta cam is never removed. This page can be accessed via my 5 U.S.A. Cam pages (1, 2) right above the cams. So, you will never be be without the Zoo Atlanta cam on my 5 U.S.A. Cam page. I will still put up announcement, unforeseen circumstances excluded if I am not able/will be late to put up the Zoo Atlanta cam up at 10am (EST)

• March 1, 2010: First Day Of Meteorological Spring...More Snow Please Update
  • After some frustration with the white border that appeared around the San Diego cam when viewed in Internet Explorer is now gone. A big thanks to Mary Ann for helping me with this..YAY! The cam is set to refresh at 20 minutes, but page will refresh it 19:55. For more info please red the January 28, 2010 update here.
  • Next order of business, National Zoo Cam #2 now will refresh @ 4:55 instead of the previous 14:55.
  • Also some users have inquired about me adding the Lily Black Bear Cam, I am working on adding that. A separate page may be created with that cam, or embedding it on my main cam page, stay tuned
  • The weather page has also been updated, it now includes: Washington D.C., Atlanta GA, Memphis, TN, San Diego, CA, Ya'An China, and Chengdu, China (new)
  • The panda info page, still needs to be updated along with the Additional Information page.
  • If you happen to encounter any further problems, please contact me.

• February 9, 2010
  • Per the National Zoo Panda cam pages:
    • Cam #1: ".....limiting sessions to five minutes to allow more people to view the cam."
    • Cam #1: ".....limit sessions to 15 minutes to allow more people to view the cam."
  • So cam #1 to still refreshes at 4:55, but cam #2 now refreshes at 14:55.
  • I am still working on the white boarder around the San Diego Cam as experienced in Internet Explorer, and other issues related to adding refresh to the cam, read the January 28, 2010 update here.
  • Finally some people have reported that the Chengdu China cams are not functioning, I do not have any info on that, but I will look around for some information.

• January 28, 2010
  • There have been a few reports that the San Diego cam shuts off after 20 minutes. So I have made the San Diego cam refresh after 19 min & 50 sec. Both the auto-refresh page & the no auto refresh have been updated to reflect the change.
  • Also some users have inquired about me adding the Lily Black Bear Cam, I am working on adding that. A separate page may be created with that cam, or embedding it on my main cam page, stay tuned.
  • So here is the deal: The San Diego Zoo issued an update, imposing a 20 minute timeout on the cam. Not a problem. Here is the problem: When using Firefox (I am running v3.5.7) , the cam looks good and refreshes. But when using Internet Explorer (I am running v8.0.6001.18702), a white border appears around the left & top of the cam, but it still refreshes. I have set the refresh timer at 19minutes & 50 sec. I will keep working on it, but for now please "bear" with me:)
    • If you do not see the white border or encounter any issues, please contact me, please include your operating system (if Windows please include Service Pack #, and what web browser you are using(including version).

• December 19, 2009
  • After some issues with the Memphis Zoo Panda cam, its working again, but it now uses Adobe Flash Player instead of Windows Media Player.

  • Some users have reported not being able to see the Zoo Atlanta cam even after I update it. This is due to the recent site updates. You may have to clear your cache. Details on how this can be done can be found here. Or if you are on a Microsoft Windows computer you may press CTRL + F5, to do a hard refresh this will bypasses the cache and load the actual page as it is stored on the server.
    • If you visit a web site frequently, your web browser stores elements of the web page in a cache so that they do not have to be downloaded again each time you visit, making your browsing faster. In some cases, when the web site is changed, you may not be able to view the changes because you are actually viewing the cache.
    • Clearing the cache will remove all of the older saved versions of web sites you visit, which means that the entire page will have to be freshly downloaded when you visit it. Clearing the cache is more time consuming than doing a hard refresh, and only needs to be done periodically, but can be beneficial if you are having difficulty with your browser. For more information please visit WiseGeek.
