This is a Python script to connect to a Gawker (http://gawker.sf.net/) server on your network and download the image files as often as they become available.
The Gawker server can be specified by both explicit host:port configuration or by detecting a local instance with Zeroconf.
There are also shell scripts included to turn the images into a time-lapse movie. (Requires /bin/sh, mjpegtools, x264, adequate disk space)
