I've actually been enjoying working with a high level language, python, much more so then I ever did with C, C++. And although I've got a Pi on the way myself I've yet to get down and dirty at the hardware level. All to come!

So I'm looking to sample one minute of acoustic data on each quarter hour, so my data can be correlated with the data generated by the other instruments. |
Well, you might be interested in using some of Google's infrastructure. For example, they offer a 5.00 GBytes storage limit in their free tier of service on app engine that can be used to store binary data of arbitrary size sent via standard http channels. That's in addition to a whole other group of free quotas.

I'm fairly well into it now and have done most things apart from mapreduce etc, if there is something that might help then perhaps I can knock something up - something like
Receive and store data+metadata via http
Download/browse data+metadata via http
Would be quite straightforward to build - it's just a http nterface to the blob store really.
The only real downer is the cold start - up to 6 seconds to boot your instance, but that can be overcome with cron jobs keeping it going or other tricks.

I also mentioned that He'd have to give me a thorough explanation as to *why* I must "eat human babies".
