black is the color of my true love's cam
among the many things hosed by the 10.2.8 upgrade is the webcam. can't make it work for love or money. i'm using oculus, which grabs the image from the cam just fine in the preview window, but won't show it in the main document window — it's only showing black.
i have reinstalled the camera drivers and reinstalled oculus. i am now officially at a loss. thank you, apple, for all you've done for me in the last few days.
i'm especially peeved because i wanted to show a before and after sequence of the raking we did yesterday — specifically, before this morning's breezes blew a million leaves down onto the freshly-raked lawn and driveway, and after i wept like a child on the front steps.
update: oculus out, evocam in. webcam is back in action!
