Continuing with our monthly series this month’s coffee project is  S3Fox - Amazon S3 Firefox Organizer. S3Fox allows you to manage your files on Amazon S3 in a friendly way. The interface is very much like an FTP client which makes it easy to use. You can upload/download/delete files using the interface.

Creating the buxkets and managing the ACL is also very easy. If you use S3 and if you have firefox on desktop thenS3Fox is a must. You can upload the files using drag and drop functionality too (drag n drop doesnt work on my ubuntu). Today if I am happy with S3 then  S3Fox is one of the reason.

It has syncronize folder feature which can be used for automatic backup. And you can manage multiple s3 accounts ( like business/personal etc).

S3Fox is developed by SuchiSoft. If you are a happy  user of S3Fox go there send them some coffee. Send your comments/feedback/coffee to rjonna at rjonna.com

I use hell lot of open source projects. Most of them are written by individual developers or a small team of enthusiastic developers. They usually are not paid to do the job (some companies do pay to code for Open Source projects). They don’t get anything in return other than fun of coding and *high* that so many are using it.

I was thinking about appreciating their work. I am not very rich as you would know. But I should be able to buy a beer/coffee to my developer friend in any part of the world. In most part of the world you will get a beer or coffee for $5. Not very heavy on my wallet. I have sent few beers to Zooomr and phpmyadmin before. But now I want to make it a custom to send *somebody* every month.I am starting this month’s Coffee Project of The Month with PhpMinAdmin.

phpMinAdmin is a MySQL management tool written in PHP. Conversely to phpMyAdmin, it consist of a single file ready to deploy to the target server. Its so simple and elegant that you can maintain your mySql database from your mobile phone. I use it on my mobile with OperaMini. It just rocks. It can perform everything that you want to do with your database. Try out the demo application to experience the simplicity. All you need is to download a single php file and upload it to your server. phpMinAdmin is one of the finalists in Sourceforge Community Choice Awards-2008. Jakub Vrána is the project admin and sole developer of phpMinAdmin. Thanks for such a great piece of code Jakub. All the very best for awards.

You too can send some beer/coffee to him at his sourceforge page. I am sure he will love it.
