Thanks Patrick. I've been trying to use what sounds like a similar approach for a while now and I find it works great... I'm getting more done and feeling more productive. I have a list of my top priorities and work against a stopwatch in 1 hour batches, switching every hour no matter what, going over the top 3 tasks. So, I'm making progress on them all and because of the stopwatch I find I have more of a sense of urgency... I dick about less and am not as easily distracted by email etc (I turn them off). Is working for now anyway.
We've just a handfull of connectors at the moment - Cloud/Web: MongoHQ, Cloudant, Wufoo, Salesforce, Webhook, Oracle, Postgres, MySQL, Logger, Javascript. The thing is however, we'll be opening up the API in the next few days. Then anyone can write a connector and upload it to their own account (will not be visible to other accounts).
Impressive. On FoxWeave, we're using Rackspace (at the moment). Fairly sure they don't offer anything like this, which probably means we'll have to use a caching reverse proxy.
