Lots of Good Stuff!

A few of the cool things that I have sitting in my inbox today:

• Mechanical Turk API in PHP - "PHP implementation of the Amazon Mechanical Turk API, allowing any PHP application to access the mTurk system and perform all available actions."
• Dave Winer: It's an S3 Tuesday - "S3 is truly useful."
• John Eberly: How I Automated My Backups to Amazon S3 using S3Sync - "After testing many tools available for S3 currently, I decided to use the ruby program s3sync to backup my data to S3."

Elliott Smith: S3 + Rails - "I spent most of today obsessively coding a simple Rails front-end to S3 called s33r."

Actually, I believe that s33r is a bit further along now... It's been moved into a RubyGem, and is available here: http://rubyforge.org/projects/s33r/.

Haven't had a chance to use it yet, but it seems fairly complete, even including workarounds for some notorious Ruby Net::HTTP problems.

Hi Jeff,

Thought you might like to know: my early S3 Rails project is getting on a bit; I've done a lot of work on the code since (based initially on the Amazon Ruby samples) - and have a project site at http://rubyforge.org/projects/s33r/. I keep meaning to put it on the S3 tools page...
