Thanks for putting up the webcam - it has been educational for us city folks. Gory at times but enjoyable after all the ups and downs.

Do the rockets move off the pad at all or just 'splode on the ground? It may be the "sticky Launchpad bug" which can be cured by putting launch clamps on the sides or a decoupler at the bottom.

While the CPU is an i7, it is a mobile CPU (i7 740QM). Its base clock is indeed 1.73GHz but it has turbo to 2.93GHz, heat permitting. That isn't actually too bad, especially since Kerbal is largely single-core. The graphics card is also a mobile GPU but is fair for its generation.

There you go... all back in... for now! EDIT: Spoke too soon!

Thanks for explaining. The parents don't seem fazed by the nest being opened.

Did the parents remove the remains or was he still alive?

And for those watching last night... "corner bird" didn't make it through the night and died in the cold. Sadly he is probably too big for the parents to remove now so we are stuck with his remains in the nest.

What the Flagnar did the male bring back at 16:33 today? It was too big for the parents let alone a chick! It looked like a large moth or queen wasp abdomen?

In case you were interested in knowing more about Seven of Nine, the character portrayed in that picture, here's the wiki... http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Seven_of_Nine She is a character in Star Trek: Voyager.

Can you Edit the first post in the thread in the "Go Advanced" editor to change the title??

Have you adjusted the camera lighting or wiring? I see the purple colour cast is gone and the box seems to be lit (IR LED I assume). Are we still on 9 chicks?

I was mainly wondering where he spent the nights since she uses the box alone at night.

The camera will be in low light mode.

This may be an odd question, but where does the male roost?

I can see what my mind is telling me is the last hatched one because it seems smaller than the rest... but I keep coming up 9 in my count. Wishful thinking maybe?

It is so hard to count the 'lil wrigglers. I agree the 9th egg hatched but my count varies between eight and "wait... was that nine?"

I would suspect that if there are already good nesting sites, they will be happy with the natural ones... until the population increases (along with the food sources of course) and they need the extra space. By watching the cam, I have observed some things that school websites suggest pupils watch, no matter how gross. For example, why do the parents eat the fecal sacs? What do they do with the ones they don't eat? What else will they take away from the nest? (Egg number nine I am looking at you...)

No idea what Dad brought back at 10:04 but it was so enormous compared to the chicks that he had to try it for size in several of them before it would fit!

It was lovely watching the live stream - thanks for hosting it. Google Malware Checker reported the site as hosting malware on 16/05/2015 but that it currently may be safe. Here is the malware report for that host... http://www.google.com/safebrowsing/diagnostic?site=http://a.pomf.se/wavfau.mp4&output=embed

Winston - I get a Trojan/Malware warning from my ASUS AC87U router when attempting to visit the 4th video where you described the male returning. The other three display fine. I see the web host is different for that last video. Could you verify the link please?
