This is a quick one which pulls in two off previous tutorials the photocell one comes from Adafruit and the Temp is mine..
Photcell and DS18B20 (temp logging and upload to google doc`s).
I combined the code so both the light values and temp readings were both being uploaded to the spread sheet. In order for the upload to google doc`s to work please follow the instructions on the DS18B20 tutorial.
If you want to code to run unattended just put a & at the end and it will create and give you a process ID. One note – you must have the spreadsheet open on a machine , it will not log the data otherwise.
