There is a wonderful wonderful wonderful breeze outside. Quite a change after the last few days. Enjoying my veranda. #

Google services via command line

I don’t know how I missed the announcement and why there is no noise around this release, but here it goes. GoogleCL is a tool that you use from the command line to access Google web services. I just installed it on my Fedora 13 laptop and its awesome!

Here is what you need to do to intall

$ sudo yum install python-gdata
$ wget http://googlecl.googlecode.com/files/googlecl-0.9.7.tar.gz
$ tar xzvf googlecl-0.9.7.tar.gz
$ cd googlecl-0.9.7
$ sudo python setup.py install

Here are some of the things that you can do. And I guess more is coming shortly.

The first time you’ll connect to any of the Google web services using this tool, you’ll need to authenticate and grant access to the application. After that – it’s all pure honey.

Oil spill photography

Boston.com Big Picture covers the Gulf of Mexico oil spill, two month later. Stunning photography, as always.

Lucas Zarebinski – still life photographer

Once in a while I get a link to a profile website of some photographer. Most of the times these sites are quite boring, with nothing in particular to see. Today’s example is different. Lucas Zarebinski is a still life photographer, working in New York. Enjoy!
