After having a job for a month and making almost no progress on the site, I now have this almost overpowering urge to get things done. Strike one more thing from the list: I have added a half-assed Amazon Wishlist integration. Click the "buy me stuff" link to see. I say "half-assed" because the SOAP code that I used to build my fetcher was only able to fetch on item at a time. This was SOAP code that came in the SDK they provided, but as far as I could tell, it was a problem with the Amazon SOAP server, as the SOAP request looked legitimate to me. So I implemented this really bad curl + homegrown XML DOM to do the job. Hopefully I'll find out what the problem is with the real SOAP client so I don't have to rely on my bad, bad, bad version.
