3. Any idea of why I get nothing but a blank screen?

No pictures at all. No error messages either saying that I don't have the proper plugin.

[Misunderestimator]

4. Keep clicking on the play button, it takes a few tries to start...

or try this which they link to as an alternate site to view the cam:

http://animal.discovery.com/cams/pandavidr.html

(On second edit... it was blank when I just reloaded this link now, but when I went back it had started up... give it a minute)

[China_cat]

5. That one got it

She's cuddling the baby and washing him.

[Misunderestimator]

6. Cute as heck, right?

[Odonata]

7. that baby butt!

What a cute tushie!

[tyedyeto]

8. So cute, small and cuddly

The link in the OP was too busy but the one at discovery worked.

Newborn animals...you gotta love 'em.

[Misunderestimator]

9. Thanks, I added that link to the OP...

And right now... the camera is showing more of the baby than I've seen before... what a tiny little head! Awww.

[motely36]

10. I don't have the proper plug-ins at work

:cry:

[Misunderestimator]

11. I'm so sorry.... and you can't load them?

:hug: :)

[motely36]

12. NO, I am not allowed

Only Corporation approved software can be installed. And then it takes forever to get updates.

:eyes:

[progmom]

13. that is so cute!!!

is she licking him?? awwwwwwwwww........... :loveya:

[Misunderestimator]

14. Yes, she is right now... Awwwwwwwww!

Are you done with lunch already?

[progmom]

15. yup. and we ate waaaaaaaaay too much

but the food - and the company - was fantastic.

[Misunderestimator]

16. What did you have?

[progmom]

17. we both had a bento box

:9

sashimi, tempura, california rolls, and chicken terriyaki.

[Misunderestimator]

18. Yummy! I wanna have lunch with progmom and MrsGrumpy!

:cry:

[progmom]

19. and i wanna have lunch with you

:cry:

[ScreamingMeemie]

21. Lets do it!!!

Maybe we can set up a "Lunch Cam" for the Lounge.... :bounce:

[progmom]

32. yeah - then everyone else can watch me spill shit on my shirt

x(

[ScreamingMeemie]

35. And poke fun of you as a group...

:)

[Misunderestimator]

38. It'll be just like the Lounge....

:D

[progmom]

41. good point.

[ScreamingMeemie]

42. Only...imagine flamewars...with food!

:think:

[Misunderestimator]

44. Oh, well, I would have to approve the... uh...

invitation list prior to the date. :D

[ScreamingMeemie]

46. Okay!

I wouldn't want anyone following you from table to table. :hi:

[ScreamingMeemie]

20. Awww....I am loving this wittle bitty baby...sigh.

You just want to pick him up and hug him. And she's such a good mommy, I feel more and more ashamed of myself everyday.

Hey! The panda at the San Diego Zoo has a baby too!!! It was born last night!!!!

http://www.sandiegozoo.org/zoo/ex_panda_station.html

[Misunderestimator]

22. I know... she doesn't let him out of her paws...

it's so cute, how she flips it over and licks it and picks it up and cuddles it and and and... tooooooooo cute.

Yeah, I heard that about San Diego... they say it's the size of a stick of butter!! :) Awwwwwww

[ScreamingMeemie]

23. It makes you want a baby panda, doesn't it?

:hi:

Yaaaay! I don't feel so bad about wasting hours watching him anymore, now that I know I'm not alone. ;)

[Misunderestimator]

How could this be a waste of time?

Every time I look at it it makes me smile and go awwwwwwwwwww! ;)

[progmom]

25. I have two monitors, so I can have the panda cam going

while i work on the other screen. :)

[ScreamingMeemie]

28. I know! I keep the volume turned up, so if I hear a noise I can click

over. Silly me.

[progmom]

30. did it just freeze up for you?

edit: nevermind - it's back

[ScreamingMeemie]

34. Yes it did for a second. Then it came back on.

[Misunderestimator]

31. Oh.... silly me... I can do that...

:D

[ScreamingMeemie]

59. Aw, I'm jealous.

:hi:

[ScreamingMeemie]

24. LOOK ! !!! LOOK!!! baby panda all alone. Perfect shot!!!

He's all by himself right now and you can see him really good!!!!

[Misunderestimator]

26. Oh no... did I miss it!!

[ScreamingMeemie]

27. She just came back and picked him up!

Man that was cute.

[Misunderestimator]

29. Damn ... I didn't realize I had to look at it every second...

I didn't think she EVER left him alone... :cry:

[ScreamingMeemie]

33. Yes, it appears one must watch it nonstop.

;) She leaves him alone in the afternoons and evening for short little periods of time, and its so sweet watching it makes my teeth hurt.

[progmom]

36. hey - if we drive to DC for the protest...

...we can go to the ZOOOOO!!! :bounce:

[ScreamingMeemie]

37. I hadn't thought about THAT!!!

:bounce: I can see it now. Protest? What protest? ;)

[progmom]

39. I'm seriously thinking about it again

I just told someone I might not be around for meetings on the 23rd. :)

[ScreamingMeemie]

40. Now he's being a little pill. Did you hear those squeals?

That was hysterical.

[Mutley]

43. Ooooo! OOOO!

The baby is PISSED right now! Did you guys hear him squealing? :loveya: So cute!

[ScreamingMeemie]

45. Sounded like he was screaming, "NO! NO!" My daughter, who I am

trying to entice into the addiction as well, said she's going to smother him if he keeps it up. :hi:

[progmom]

47. your daughter is worrying about the mother panda smothering him?

:think: :P

[ScreamingMeemie]

50. I have noooooo idea where she would get something like that from.

Nope...none. :hide:

[progmom]

53. LOL

:P

[Misunderestimator]

48. It IS funny how she kind of lays on top of him whenever he starts

squeeling... It's effective.

[progmom]

51. probably helps eliminate all the external stimuli

makes him feel safer, like he's back in the womb.

[Misunderestimator]

55. Awww.... you would know that you mommy you!

:hug:

[progmom]

58. breeders aren't all bad

....right? :P

[Misunderestimator]

60. Some of my best friends are....

breeders :)

[progmom]

63. and some of my best friends are...

not. :)

[ScreamingMeemie]

52. Quite effective. In fact...it has me thinking....

;)

[Misunderestimator]

57. MrsGrumpy's daughter... if you are reading this... RUN!!!!

[Mutley]

49. Aww. Thats cute that your daughter is worried about the baby

getting smushed.

[Mutley]

54. Everytime he squeals really loud

my dogs come running up to me like, "What the hell is that?!?" And my big dog keeps sniffing me anxiously like she thinks I have something. :rofl:

[ScreamingMeemie]

56. I guess no pet baby panda for you then.

;) :rofl: That's just as cute as the panda!

[Mutley]

61. Lol!

Rogue is still traumatized by me bringing home a puppy. She'd probably have a heart attack if I brought home a baby panda! :rofl:

[ScreamingMeemie]

62. True. Our kitty Merlin hid under the bed for three days when we

brought Jessie home. The crap we put our pets through.

[Mutley]

65. Ah, she'll be fine.

I caught them sleeping together this morning.

[progmom]

64. I have to go to a meeting.

x(

I want a full report on the panda activities when I return.

It doesn't have to be Powerpoint....just a Word doc will do.

[ScreamingMeemie]

66. I'm on it...no laptop huh?

;)

[progmom]

68. Would have been bad form.

they were presenting the big new records to us - can't you just see me saying: "naw - i don't wanna see the new Streisand video - but check out this baby panda!!!"

[ScreamingMeemie]

72. And then they would all go "Awwwwww" and you could have spent

the meeting watching the pandas. ;)

[progmom]

73. you obviously have never worked here

;)

[Misunderestimator]

69. I'll take a picture with my camera phone for you...

I can take a screenshot from realplayer :cry:

[Misunderestimator]

70. Here's a pic... with the little baby nose showing:

right there at the end of the red arrow... Awwwww

[progmom]

71. how much do you rock?

:loveya:

thanks. that is so cute!!!!

[ScreamingMeemie]

67. Mama Panda is snoring!

:rofl:

[catzies]

91. There's sound? Will I have to turn up my speakers really loud?

Will I piss off everyone in my office when I do? :D

[merh]

74. Panda inquire thread being ignored!

:-( http://www.democraticunderground.com/discuss/duboard.php?az=view_all&address=105x3786766

[Misunderestimator]

75. Threadjacker!

x(

[progmom]

76. trouble-stirrer-upper

x(

[merh]

78. I didn't jack jack - I just wanted answers....

:-( You are a panda pusher - you began this addiction and now my work is suffering.


(:hug: - sorry, didn't mean to high-jack your thread - I was feeling neglected. :blush:)

[Misunderestimator]

79. You didn't jack jack...

:spray:

:rofl:

(I was just kidding... why do people always take me so seriously? :silly:)

[merh]

80. I wasn't, I was just kidding

Why do folks always take me serious? :shrug:
:rofl:

:freak: Okay not mimicking you or nothing like that :crazy:

JimmyJazz is just a figment of your imagination and
progmom always stirs up stuff (we call it "stirring the gumbo!" yaya) :freak:

[Misunderestimator]

81. LOL!

:rofl:

[merh]

82. Shhhh, don't tell 'em that I am letting you in on this secret!

They might not like it! :freak:

Let's just keep this between the two of us! :freak:


Okay? :pals:

[Misunderestimator]

83. You got it.... mum's the word...

:freak:

[merh]

84. Thanks

It's best not to "stir the gumbo" if you know what I mean!

:hug: :thumbsup: :freak:

[Misunderestimator]

85. Yes, indeed.... I think I've got the idea...

:freak: :freak:

[merh]

86. mums the word!

[progmom]

77. you can see him clearly on his own now

so cute!!!!!!

[catzies]

87. I have died of cuteness and gone to cute heaven.

I'm loving this. Animal Planet webcams rock and so do pandas.

[Misunderestimator]

88. I KNOW .... Do you see her licking him now?

So cuuuuuuute!

On edit.... OMG ... the little paws on her nose... Awwwwww

[catzies]

89. It's a really good stream. Easy to watch and never cuts out.

I love it when the keepers zoom in.

You know they're just going "AWWWWW!" just like we are.

[WCGreen]

90. You know that is almost as boring as the Paris Hilton Video
