ip2loc is a simple tool which visualizes location data for a given IP address using the Google Maps API. I created it for a few reasons:
- Most sites that do this charge or are clunky
- I wanted to write a simple application with Sinatra
- It was a good excuse to sharpen my jQuery skills
- Boredom
ip2loc is powered by Ruby, written in TextMate, and deployed with Passenger on DreamHost.

I decided to source out a few random Ruby scripts I use to interface with Amazon’s Simple Storage Service (S3) from the command line. Right now there are scripts which allow:
- Duplicating a local folder in a specified S3 bucket (recursively)
- Listing all buckets and files stored on an S3 account
- Uploading a specified file to a specified S3 bucket
- Downloading a specified file from a specified S3 bucket.
I’m sure the functionality will grow as needs arise. For now, check out the repo on GitHub
