If you read the linked article, aside from the very beginning, he uses Sleepwatcher [1] to trigger an Automator script that launches Photo Booth and does the 3...2...1 countdown.

Sorry, I should have been more clear. I was wondering if he remembered that the script would launch PhotoBooth before he opened the lid each time. I expect he'd have just grabbed his MacBook and opened the lid and then remembered that it would take a picture.

As it happens all of the time I really don't forget. And if it takes a really horrible photo I can always just click the little X and delete it so no harm.
