These two cabs are pretty simple. They provide hyperlinks to online webcams in Sydney that display up-to-the-minute traffic information (from the RTA) and on-the-hour surf information (from SurfIt and other sources). The image links are static and embedded into a blank html page.

Tips on using SydTraffic and SydSurf:

1. These are small files (around 60kb in total) and install to a folder called \Windows\Start Menu\Programs\SydTraffic or SydSurf. If you install it in storage or ramdisk, I have no idea where it will install.
2. Downloading each image obviously costs money and images range from about 13kb to 40kb generally, with the Bondi image headings up to almost 70kb sometimes. If you are on a 1c x 1kb plan then this is a similar price to an SMS or MMS depending what plan you're on. Prices are generally cheaper at night due to the fact that you're downloading less colour and hence less information (lower kb's).
3. This is the first thing I have ever developed, so if stuff doesn't work properly, let me know, or alternatively, open the html files in notepad and see if you can find the problem. I have tested these both on my HTC Himalaya and they work perfectly, though your results may differ.
4. If you know of any more worthy cams in the Sydney area, let me know and I will add them and reupload the cabs.
