WebCam Tracker v0.9.0

For whatever reason I wanted to spend a little more time on my WebCam Tracker program by throwing a UI on top of it.  I did and it turned out reasonably well for my first foray into SWT.

How I Stole From a Monastery

So, I have a confession to make.

Randy Aldrich is a thief.
