Soylentfoo and Tweet, a Twitter action for Quicksilver that I made some updates to, were shown for around 15 milliseconds in today’s episode of Rocketboom. This is both nothing and everything at the same time. Watch it here.
In other meta-news, earlier this morning I moved Soylentfoo from my Textdrive Mixed Grill account to a Amazon EC2 server (domu-12-31-34-00-02-4e.usma2.compute.amazonaws.com, to be exact). For those thinking of using EC2 as a Ruby on Rails host in the future, stay tuned for a release of Capazon, a Capistrano rubygem plugin that aims to make deployment of a Rails application to an Amazon EC2 instance a ridiculously simple process. I’m getting very very close to a release.

Jesse, congrats on your new found fame.
This sounds VERY interesting to me, since I’m thinking about using EC2 for a Web app. I’m just unsure about one point: how do you manage MySQL? I mean, if the instance goes down, you lose everything. Or are you using the S3 filesystem?
