Lifestream

Lifestream is a series of scripts to grab data from places and dump it into a
database.

Lifestream currently runs http://NicholasAvenell.com

Lifestream is an AJAX-based box that updates this on a web page in real time.

Lifestream is a wordpress plugin to make that work, too.

Dayze is a website using all this data.

How to make it go:

• Initialise the submodules (git submodule init)
• Install the Google Python API

• Use the schema to create a database
• copy config.ini.example to lose the example bit
• edit it to contain real live database and API details
• Each import script accepts a username as a parameter
  pipe the output of the script to the database
• eg: twitter.py [Lifestream “Type”] [Twitter Username]
• You should run each twitter script in the terminal once to generate the OAuth tokens
• Same for Foursquare and the Google Latitude APIs, if you’re using them.
• Cron this, because typing it every so often is dull.
• The example_twitter.sh includes wrappers to make sure it never runs before the last one finishes, duplicate that.

• Install the web dir somewhere accessible
• Edit the wordpress plugin to be able to find it.
• Complain when it doesn’t work.
