Anyone know how to get the Macbook Air camera to take a picture every 15 seconds and upload it to an ftp server?

Get some type of security camera software capable of doing so, and then set the power settings to be conducive to said software.
 
I'm sure some combination of applescript and quicksilver could do it, maybe a dash of automator too. No idea where to start though, but that might help narrow down your searches

Every bit helps thank you. I will check out quicksilver, never heard of it.
 
Quicksilver is awesome, even if you only use it to launch apps quicker. But that's not even a scratch on the shiny surface of what it can do
