@MatthewCase LOL. The livedyre plugin on this blog does that. Funny thing is that's an old blog post.

His 3 year old nephew doesn't understand economics and neither does this writer. This Chromebook is over priced.

Looking forward to the next post. I don't travel as often now as I used to in my youth and I waited until both my kids were school age before taking our first international trip.

I may be ms-understanding your article but your complaint seems to be "parenting my kids requires too much direct involvement".
My son (14) had an iPad 2 and iPhone and my daughter (12) has an iPad mini. Mobile devices are not allowed outside visual range of a parent. Mobile devices are turned into parents before bedtime. No access to a computing device before homework is complete. We verify what the homework assignment via the online system the school provides.
The iMac is in a publicly viewable location within the house. No social media accounts are allowed.
All web traffic flows through an Open DNS filter. The logs for each user log in are reviewed on a regular basis so we know which web site they are visiting.
If I see access to Google+ or Twitter or Facebook, I assume they have an account and they have to turn over the password or the service gets blocks. I control which apps get installed on any iDevice.
Does this take work and time? Yes. But hey, that's parenting.

@dhammer I like how you gave your self ( and Google an out). If Google Now succeeds it's because it was the right thing to do. If Google's pulls it, it's not because they failed, it's "because it didn't generate the kind of usage they wanted". Love your spin.

@koolinus I think my computer had something else happening that day. I recreated the bootable USB thumb-drive for OS X 10.8 and it took about 2 hours to complete.

@BillyScott The Gert board is interesting. I want one but not at that price point (almost $50 US). I wish they had released the schematics so I could build my own.

@medwards I look at using the "--wait-event" flag and the D40 is supported but ... I don't quite understand what sort of events trigger and event.

@GlennPhillips Thanks for stopping by. I hope you are successful in getting your D2H to work with gPhoto2 and the Raspberry Pi. I'm hoping to refine the script and add a triggering mechanism ... soon.

Wow! How embarrassing. I don't know what happened here but thanks for bringing it to my attention.

Make sure you set the camera mode to manual or auto-exposure.

@BillyScott I started working on a way to trigger the RPi using the GPIO pins but ... I can't find a python or other library that works on "wheezy".

Anywhere you like. So long as the user ID running the cron job had read and execute privileges to the file and directory where it is placed.

This should work on any camera supported by gPhoto2.
