I have them now which is very exciting. The idea is to mirror what Esologic.com did and have the Pi dump its sensor data, (that I am currently just tweeting) into a mySQL database then have pChart render a graph from that data and upload it to Flickr. From there, tweepy, my twitter API, can post the link to the Flickr photo yay :)
I got the Flickr API here:

And used a apt-get command to get mySQL
Here is a great intro to mySQL that I found extremely helpful to understanding exactly what I was doing:

Also it seems that the internet is very happy about how well pChart and mySQL databases play with each other so once I get pChart up and running I will have another post about that.
