Google Cloud Storage support in Derquinse Bocas

Starting with the just released 1.1.0 version of Derquinse Bocas, a new experimental back-end based on Google Cloud Storage is included. In this first version, the XML API 2.0 is used and only service account authentication is supported.

Besides, version 1.1.0 also includes a revision of the API, incorporating bucket support (in order to group entries) and simplifying entry creation methods. This will be described in a future post.

A small update on the Gist.GitHub Gadget

The Gadget to embed GitHub Gists in Google Properties, has just received some small updates:

• It is now hosted on a git repository.
• It has a new URL.
• Now uses HTTPS by default.

You can find more information in its home page.

Gist.GitHub Gadget

Some months ago I wanted to embed some code snippets stored in Gist.GitHub in some Google Sites-based documentation, just to find that you cannot use the script tag directly. So, I decided to wrap the embedding code in a Google Gadget. You can find it here.

The MapMaker

Google Collections 0.9 is out, and this class is really cool. I hope to make good use of it really soon...
