[Newbies] Building a remote count down clock

[Andy Burnett]

Hey Pascal

Thanks very much for your offer. I am going to work on the networking part
first - that seems trickiest - and then come back to the actual clock.  In
the meantime, I will download your clock and see what I can learn from you
regarding morphs.

Cheers
Andy
