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.
