Now I don't have an excuse not to use Heroku

Thanks! Yeah I'm totally digging this service because not only does it scale but I also like the fact that I don't have to worry about memory consumption, worker monitoring, I can off-load stuff, I get a web interface, and it's very cost-effective. Now I don't have an excuse not to use Heroku (unless i absolutely need SSL though, that's still way too expensive compared to when when you host your own box), but the $36 fixed monthly price for a single worker that might be idle 95% of the time is ( in my opinion ) a deal breaker. But, since you guys came out with SimpleWorker it's a complete game changer. Looking forward to deploy lots of apps to Heroku using SimpleWorker as a background job processor!

Great work, keep it up! : )
