My enthusiasm for LinkedIn increased dramatically once I learned that LinkedIn had opened up its API to the public at large.  What is still unclear to me is how much the API allows one to get data in and out LinkedIn.  One of the best ways to find out:  dive in and see what […]

As a big fan of Zotero ("a free, easy-to-use Firefox extension to help you collect, manage, and cite your research sources"), I have been looking for ways to further integrate Zotero (both the client and the web front […]

Continuing on Mashup Guide :: listing keys with S3Ajax, here I present a Chickenfoot script to create a bucket and upload a file (specifically, it creates a bucket by the name of raymondyeetest and uploads a file (D:\Document\PersonalInfoRemixBook\examples\ch16\Exported Items.rdf from my WinXP machine) to the key exportitems.rdf in the bucket: include("D:\\document\\JavaScriptLib\\sha1.js"); include("D:\\document\\JavaScriptLib\\S3Ajax.js"); var AWSAccessKeyId = […]
Tagged Amazon S3In a previous post (learning how to use S3Ajax to access Amazon S3), I show how to use Chickenfoot and S3Ajax to list S3 buckets. Here is a slight elaboration of the code to list the keys within buckets (in addition to the buckets): include("D:\\document\\JavaScriptLib\\sha1.js"); include("D:\\document\\JavaScriptLib\\S3Ajax.js"); var AWSAccessKeyId = "[AWSAccessKeyId]"; var AWSSecretAccessKey = "[AWSSecretAccessKey]"; S3Ajax.DEBUG […]

In this post, I show a code snippet for using Leslie Michael Orchard's S3Ajax, which I'm evaluating for using to connect Zotero with Amazon S3. (Like the code from my previous […]
