So I f there is some more rails + amazon info out there I would be happy if someone could point me there!

Hi all, I''ve got an issue that only ever appears in production mode. I''ve got my app hooked up to amazon''s web service (ECS, using ruby/amazon from http://www.caliban.org/ruby/ruby-amazon.shtml). In the dev environment, everything''s peachy. But in production mode, after I''ve left the app up for a couple of hours (sometimes, minutes), I get an

As part of my inaugural Ruby project, I''ve been trying to get data for books from Amazon''s web services. The first thing I tried was Ruby/Amazon <http://www.caliban.org/ruby/ruby-amazon.shtml>. It works great, but is based on an earlier version of Amazon''s Web Services, which apparently doesn''t return a complete set of data for the items it

Haven''t been able to find a good enough answer on whether using sanitize() is enough to really protect me from XSS attacks I basically have a blog page that I want to allow people to display comments on but would like to allow html tags to be posted on the comments, these could html tags like the imageshack img tags, youtube player, photobucket img tags etc any other approaches or

Hello All, Having some issue with local machine, I need to locate myself on Amazon for running R and Hadoop with Amazon instance. After searching a lot, I can't able to take a decision for choosing Image for Amazon instance. Can any one using R + Hadoop on Amazon. Thanks [[alternative HTML version deleted]]

Hi, We all know most people are reporting that Amazon hasn't been helpful at all. A few people say they've received answers, but most are getting smoke screen PR BS. You can vote this up on Slashdot, send the message: SIP Attacks From Amazon EC2 Going Unaddressed: http://bit.ly/bOkNNx Send this message out to Amazon, I am positive that once it reaches the right person, they will do the

Hello, I have a few models -- book, cd, dvd -- for which I''d like to have an abstract base superclass to hold some common stuff. That abstract class, I was thinking, would inherit from ActiveRecord. Didn''t work, though, and looking around, I found this: <http://wiki.rubyonrails.com/rails/pages/HowtoMakeAbstractModel>

I''m trying to dynamically create an instance of an object at runtime, from a String. I have a method that returns one of a number of Strings ("Car", "Motorcycle", "Bicycle"), and when I receive the String, I then want to instantiate one of those objects. Seems like there should be a way to do it in Ruby, but maybe I''ve been up too long --

Took me a while but I have finally embraced cloud computing and all the benefits. The only thing I have yet to feel comfortable about putting in the cloud is real live Asterisk boxes to be used in production. I know it's being done because as far as I know Twilio is using Amazon for their Asterisk boxes. I have read all the fun articles on building hobby type systems and that's all great.

First posted at: http://deancollinsblog.blogspot.com/2009/02/amazon-flexible-payment-syst em.html Amazon have just announced they are finally opening up their API's to their credit card processing platform https://payments-sandbox.amazon.com/sdui/sdui/business?sn=devfps/o So does this mean that micropayments have finally been cracked? It certainly helps out users because you can

I have found an existing image on Amazon EC2 including R. But unfortunately, it is 32-bit R on 32-bit Linux. Does anybody know if there exists an mage (R 64-bit on Linux 64-bit) on Amazon EC2? Or how can I install 64-bit R on my own Linux instance there? Thanks. -- View this message in context:

I'm starting to use the EC2 cloud (as are others) and noticed that all the available CentOS images seem to be of dubious origin. I think it would further the reputation and popularity of CentOS if it were represented in an official way. In case people aren't aware, when you create an AWS (Amazon Web Services) account there's a management console that shows a list of available images.

Hi there Does anyone know if Amazon.com has any sort of server side script that tries to block scraping activities? I first noticed that if I didn?t change the agent alias, it would fetch a page exactly like the normal one, but without the intial search field(maybe a silly way to prevent scraping). Then after it, I changed to some other alias, and submit a search. I got the result page as

I looked everywhere for information on how to install wine in the Amazon AWS cloud. Can somebody please point me to some working binaries and which AMI to use? And possibly some installation instructions? I'm just trying to run some simple Windows console applications (from MS-DOS)... nothing fancy. But wine just doesn't want to install or run in AWS. Surely many people have

https://aws.amazon.com/blogs/aws/new-aws-directory-service/ Amazon Blogged about using Samba as the base for their new AWS Directory Service.

Searching through the archives, it seems this topic has come up several times in the past 2.5 years. Did anyone ever take on the tasks of creating an official CentOS AMI? We're currently using the RightScale ones, but I think it'd be ideal to have a clean CentOS AMI with the current kernels. Karanbir, you seem to have been the one on CentOS side who has had the most conversations with

As of a moment ago (9 a.m., Monday, Jan. 8, 2001), the S Programming book by Venables and Ripley was once again selling for 17.98 American dollars at Amazon.com. Alas, I notice that "Mixed Effects Models in S and S-Plus" by Pinheiro and Bates now lists at Amazon for 97.25 American dollars, as opposed to about $70 a little while ago.

Hola, ¿qué tal? He aprovechado este puente para probar R sobre el EC2 de Amazon. He escrito mis experiencias en http://analisisydecision.es/probando-r-sobre-el-ec2-de-amazon/ En el EC2 de Amazon uno puede alquilar un servidor con una determinada configuración por horas. La configuración es, esencialmente, de hardware y software. Aparentemente, uno puede crear "configuraciones" con

Hi I''ve done a small rails application for file management on Amazon''s new service, the storage webservice ''Amazon S3'' (at this time just upload, list and delete methods are implemented). Maybe someone find it useful as example. The source code and a little more information can be found here: http://caffo.backpackit.com/pub/502395 Best regards Rodrigo Franco
