I have written a new version called pi-timolo (pi, timelapse, motion, low light) This uses the picamera python library instead of using raspistill. Motion and timelapse can be run together or separately. Also supports sync of images to a web based google drive (please note grive is currently broken as of 20-Apr-2015 due to google docs api change) I have replaced this with a new program. For details see my release notes
https://github.com/pageauc/pi-timolo
or simple app https://github.com/pageauc/picamera-m...

The pi-timolo project includes several useful utilities like rclone sync, remote configuration, makemovie.py convid and more
Note:
If you are looking for a good web based interactive RPI camera interface I would highly recommend link below. It is easy to install and works well. But I still prefer pi-timolo for remote headless camera situations since the web interface can be finicky.

This interface can also be setup to use file syncing with your google drive. Contact me if you need details.
Another gui web interface package that is installed as an image file is motionPIe and instructions can be found here

Both these web interface packages are pretty much plug and play but if you are interested in implementing your own project with python the my repo might be useful. There is a pi-motion-lite sample project that might be of interest.
