When looking to upgrade my current Canon Rebel XSi to something newer, I found out that the Canon Rebel T3i body would be the same as purchasing the Nikon D5100 kit. So I embarked on a quest to figure out which camera I preferred based solely on the pictures they took. So I became familiar with the Flickr API, and Flickraw (THE GREATEST THING EVER), and began my journey! Here's the end product, though it isn't finished. I have a short TO-DO list below.
cd /Library/WebServer/Documents # on a mac, this is your htdocs folder
git clone git://github.com/parkr/Nikon-vs.-Canon.git "nikon-vs-canon"
cd nikon-vs-canon
mysql db_name < SETUP.sql # you may need to specify a username and/or password
cp db.default.php db.php # create the db file. modify.
open http://localhost/nikon-vs-canon/
You'll probably want to make sure you have a MySQL backend installed & that your localhost handles all of this stuff.
GO CRAZY!! My normal workflow is:
ruby get.rb
ruby convert.rb > new.sql # dump output into sql file
mysql db_name < new.sql # you may need to specify a username and/or password
rm new.sql
ruby clean_csvs.rb
open http://localhost/nikon-vs-canon/
- Allow Ruby to interact with MySQL server directly.
- Combine fetch, convert and insert into database into one command.
- Add metadata to photos (grab from Flickr) and display photos of a similar tag when comparing
