Python-Based Server Lets Eye-Fi Users Skip Company's Software 128
gollito writes "Coder Jeff Tchang has developed software written with python that allows users to download pictures from the Eye-Fi card rather than having to use the eye-fi manager software. Running the script at intervals would allow for real time updates to an online gallery." At least one user has responded to the release of this software by getting it (after a bit of tweaking) to run on Ubuntu Linux, and another says it works with BSD. I hope the people at Eye-Fi see this as a good thing, rather than reason for a knee-jerk cease-and-desist letter; when I asked about Linux support at the most recent CES, I was given a good-natured shrug and a reasonable hand-wave: approximately, "We just don't have the developer time for that when most of our users are on other platforms."

I think Yfying is something completely different from the discussed device and most people prefer to bleach their eyes should they accidently encounter it.

A company doesn't have the resources to do the job right and rushes the product out the door just to survive. It sure rings all the alarm bells for me.
It sounds familiar to me. Like some little fly-by-night s/w outfit in Redmond.
