Amazon RDS, MySQL, Hmm?

by marco
BTW if you follow their "use mysqldump" model for pushing data into the service, remember that --single-transaction will allow you to do a hot backup. There is no need to lock up your current database. I am still appalled at how few people know that. Years ago we should have renamed "mysqldump" to "mysqlbackup" and defaulted the settings for Innodb.

En tout cas, leur discours marketing fait rêver :)

How To: Getting Started with Amazon EC2

by marco
EC2 lets you easily run and manage many instances (like servers) and given the proper software and configurations, have a scalable platform for your web application, outsource resource-intensive tasks to EC2 or for whatever you would use a server farm

The URI microformat, OpenURL and COIns, will be very interesting to library application - in "Programming" (Tricks/tips learned in daily programming work)

by decembre & 1 other
The URI microformat takes advantage of OpenURL and existing link resolver solution.It defines a convention of plugging URI metadata in HTML page. If it is adopted and widely used,now a microformat-aware application (be a greasemonkey script, or a web service) can grab the identifier and point to your local OpenURL resolver, you immediately get the copy from local library.It is very similar to COINS, but it's much simpler and cleaner, anyone can understand and use it, and its aplication can be beyond traditional research library. e.g. in a public library, you can use amazon as catalog and immediately check if it's available in local collection.------- COinS provides a great number of additional capabilities that URI microformat can't support. Since COinS can't be dismissed for this reason, it doesn't make sense to me to create yet another standard that does the same thing with so little savings.I will grant that the COinS is less intuitive.....

Amazon - Constrained Search vs. Random Results

by access2
The way to find needles in the immense haystack of Amazon.com is through constrained search. Amazon's search function, like most others, claims to use a logical AND operator on keywords. That is search results for "Amazon Warriors," for example, should contain both "Amazon" AND "Warriors." In fact, you will find that, all things being equal -- "Amazon" AND "Warriors" results will appear higher than "Amazon" OR "Warriors" results. You need to "drill down" through the thousands of Amazon Categories to find the results that meet your criteria. I could go on and on (there really are thousands of categories) but I think this small sample will illustrate how different your results can be for a single search term

Now you can quickly and easily build thousands of Amazon product pages using the unlimited category nesting feature, build your own site navigation, and customize your store's look and feel with CSS.

The Whole Ed Cata-Blog

by access2

by Xavier Lacot & 2 others
Libcloud is a standard client library for many popular cloud providers, written in python. Exactly what I talked about a few weeks ago when asking for a common API to all cloud server providers. Now search for a way to convert / move an image from one provider to another !

Avec Yahoo Pipes Vérifiez la présence de ses ISBN dans Amazon (et GBS) - "Encore Un BiblioBlog"

by decembre
Pourquoi est-ce que j’ai fait ça ? Parce que pour utiliser les API Amazon, il faut avoir une clé Amazon et utiliser les API en question pour un site web. Moi, j’en ai besoin en local, ponctuellement. J’avais pu tester les API LibraryThing pour constater qu’ils couvraient 30% de notre catalogue (sur un échantillon de 1000 ISBN). Je n’avais pas pu le faire pour Amazon. Désormais je sais qu’Amazon couvrirait 94% de nos notices. Pour être plus précis : Amazon a identifié 94% de nos ISBN. En l’état, cela ne me dit pas quel pourcentage de couvertures il peut me proposer, ou de tables des matières, résumés, commentaires, etc. Il faudrait que j’affine l’analyse des réponses que le site donne dans ses listes de résultats.
