+Notes on system itself
+The service contol will have the following components:
+    PHP site that will make the API calls
+        I don't have time to learn something new
+        It will be similar to the photo refresh site
+        Flow will be get status API, draw box depending on result, if pressed execute appropriate API, return
+        The API calls are to a another service running a Python script
+        I think I will have the following text in Green (Red):
+          - THE SERVICE IS (NOT) RUNNING
+        The button will be Red (Green):
+          - Stop (Start)
+        I'll rip off gali for the style
+
+Notes on the python service script:
+    There will be the cheap API, with a start, stop, and status
+    Start will initialize another service
+    There will be a variable to store the time of the last start/stop API call and limit calls for 5 seconds after this time
+    No such limit will exist on the status API
+
+Some Timelapse and snapshot Notes
+I think I will have two services, and the snapshot recording service will be a subservice of the timelapse service
+The timelapse service will start the snapshot 
+
+=== Old Timelapse Code ===
