I have set up ffmpeg capturing our MJPEG stream and outputing an animated GIF over a TCP stream using inetd which pygopherd using a PYG thingy then spits out as an animated GIF image when the right selector is used. Theoretically, it should work.

In practice, the firewall rules on the network of the aucs.co gopher server are not controlled by me and don't allow the gopher server to see the webcam server. I have placed a request with the University to open up a port, which hopefully they will approve.
