content: As we silently observe from a corner of his territory we can see a lesser spotted Davalos Jonehs or "Dave" as the local have fondly named him peering from the protection of his Den to forge around for playthings.I Urge you all to help catalogue the Life of the Davalos Jonehs to better help further our understanding of the life of the Geekus Electronicus.Please help save this engendered species by posting any known sightings below.The wildlife commission as given us this webcam to help spot the Davalos Jonehs. I hope you will help the cause of keeping this strange beast in the public eye.https://www.dropcam.com/p/Lvh0CG

content: I see the lesser spotted dave seemily placing items into a pouch and what could be deemed as a box.I think he has left his den for the day to maybe meet up with his mate at some other location (Need to pester the BBC for more webcams). Maybe they plan to meet at a watering hole, but we know that the lesser spotted Dave is not keen on the beveridge of choice for the Aussie species.

We should have timer with counter on it "Time since last power outage:" Just simple arduino with 7 segment displays powered by usb power adaptor. Power goes out timer reset. Finally some use for all those Arduino boards Dave has?
