Yeah, I think he did try putting up some curtains/blinds. I'm not sure
if he found something that lets in enough daylight to not have to keep
the lights on throughout the day. It's been a while since I last
chatted with him on this subject.

I also suggested placing the camera in some other spot to minimize
this problem, but I think he was constrained by the length of the
webcam's USB cable and the position of the SheevaPlug relative to his
router.
