Learnings for Week 26 2010

• Git interactive rebase can reorder commits (just reorder them in the file)
• “No such device eth0” after cloning VMWare Image
  • run ‘sudo mv /etc/udev/rules.d/70-persistent-net.rules /etc/udev/rules.d/70-persistent-net.rules.old’ and then restart the machine to fix the problem. Found here.
• Any word completion with vim
  • type some characters then ctrl-N or ctrl-P (next or previous match)
• EngineYard App Cloud makes a lot of mundane server admin tasks very simple and still allowing complete customization with chef scripts or with root access on the server.
• Many EC2 IPs are on Spam blacklists. Use a thirdparty such as gmail to do the emailing for you.
