A quick and dirty script to move a database into Amazon RDS (or any other database). Can transfer part of the data beforehand.

Use one of these techniques to install node and npm without having to sudo. Discussed in more detail at http://joyeur.com/2010/12/10/installing-node-and-npm/ Note: npm >=0.3 is *safer* when using sudo.
echo 'export PATH=$HOME/local/bin:$PATH' >> ~/.bashrc
. ~/.bashrc
mkdir ~/local
mkdir ~/node-latest-install
cd ~/node-latest-install
curl http://nodejs.org/dist/node-latest.tar.gz | tar xz --strip-components=1
./configure --prefix=~/local
make install # ok, fine, this step probably takes more than 30 seconds...
curl https://www.npmjs.org/install.sh | sh
load 'deploy' if respond_to?(:namespace) # cap2 differentiator

hack sink ship
# Variation on Hashrocket's script for managing the git process
# as documented here: http://reinh.com/blog/2008/08/27/hack-and-and-ship.html
# Create shell scripts out of each of these, put them in your path (~/bin for example)
# chmod 755 them and use like this:
#
# This version of hack is totally different than Hackrockets. I feel that hack implies
# that you are getting started, not finishing up. sink is Hashrockets hack.
#
# $ hack branch_name
# Test and Implement until done
