Webcam Archive Update

I believe I have fixed the problem with old images showing up in the 5-minute animations at the CCM webcam archive/mirror. While I had previously split the 5-minute download script into two different parts, it still wasn't enough to run in less than 1 minute and therefore misnamed images outside of the 5s and 0s. This time I expressedly put each Perl LWP download request in the background so that the scripts could complete, even if the image download stalled. Time will tell.

Webcam Archive Updated: New Cameras Added

I have added several webcams to the CCM webcam archive/mirror this week. The most noteable were the Brasstown Mountain, Georgia webcams (highest point in the state) and the (near-U.S.) Buoycams from NDBC, that have no easy online access to past images. Because of the expense of transmitting images via satellite, they are only updated once per hour.
