Poor Man's Provisioning Platform

Poor Man's Provisioning Platform
================================

This is (or will be) a set of simple runtime components for provisioning an OSGi node. The first (and so far only)
component included is S3Install.

S3Install
=========

Modelled on "FileInstall" by Peter Kriens, S3Install manages the bundles installed in an OSGi runtime by continuously
scanning a "bucket" on Amazon S3. The effect of this is as follows:

1. If you drop a new bundle JAR into a bucket, then all instances of S3Install monitoring that bucket will install and
start that bundle.
2. If you drop an update to an existing bundle JAR into a bucket, then all instances of S3Install monitoring that bucket
will update to the new version of the bundle
3. If you remove a bundle JAR from a bucket, then all instances of S3Install monitoring that bucket that previous
installed the bundle will uninstall it.

S3Install is intended for deploying bundles to one or more Amazon EC2 nodes. Each node should be setup with an OSGi
framework and the S3Install bundle.

Google Browser Size: What Do Visitors See?

Google Browser Size is a visualization tool by Google Labs that shows any website behind an overlay of browser-window-sizes average

The overlay information is actually created from the data of people who visit Google (which won't be wrong to call it an average).

The tool is perfect for learning what percentage of the visitors are seeing the most important parts at initial load & what are they missing.

When you move the mouse, a rectangle which follows the mouse pointer enables us to interact with the website. And, optionally, the opacity level can be changed.

But, like mentioned, it is created with the data from google.com & will work for websites that target average internet users. It would be great to see this integrated into Google Analytics creating a custom overlay.
