Birdcam?

[asterroc]

So now that I've got a Macbook w/ a built in camera, what do I need to do so I can have a Gabe-cam? :-P I was hoping I could use Automator to have Photobooth take a photo every hour and upload it to server space I have, but Automator can't seem to run Photobooth. Anyone know Macs and stuff better than I? I know there's such a thing as a "chron job" that I could write to have happen in unix to upload the files, but I don't know about actually taking the picture.
