Convert a Word Document into MD

Converting a Word Document to Markdown in One Move

The Problem

A lot of important government documents are created and saved in Microsoft Word (*.docx). But Microsoft Word is a proprietary format, and it's not really useful for presenting documents on the web. So, I wanted to find a way to convert a .docx file into markdown.

Installing Pandoc

On a mac you can use homebrew by running the command brew install pandoc.

The Solution

Internet Scale Services Checklist

Internet Scale Services Checklist

A checklist for designing and developing internet scale services, inspired by James Hamilton's 2007 paper "On Desgining and Deploying Internet-Scale Services."

Basic tenets

  • Does the design expect failures to happen regularly and handle them gracefully?
  • Have we kept things as simple as possible?

Auto-enable Local HTTP Caching in Test Kitchen

Auto-enable Local HTTP Caching in Test Kitchen

Note: total experiment and hack, looks nasty, could be awesome:

Setup

  • Drop the kitchen.local.yml into $HOME/.kitchen/config.yml
  • Install polipo (with Mac: brew install polipo, with Ubuntu: apt-get install polipo)
  • Drop polipo-start and polipo-console somewhere useful (perhaps $HOME/bin?)

AWS_ACCESS_KEY_ID = "your-aws-access-key-id"
AWS_SECRET_ACCESS_KEY = "your-aws-secret-access-key"
# Node details
NODE_NAME = "webserver-01.example.com"

Checkout github pull requests locally

Locate the section for your github remote in the .git/config file. It looks like this:

[remote "origin"]
	fetch = +refs/heads/*:refs/remotes/origin/*
	url = git@github.com:joyent/node.git

Now add the line fetch = +refs/pull/*/head:refs/remotes/origin/pr/* to this section. Obviously, change the github url to match your project's URL. It ends up looking like this:

different ways to get interface IPs
$ grep 'node\[:network\]\[:interfaces\].' \#chef.log
10:15 < mkent_> node[:network][:interfaces][:eth1][:addresses]
22:24 <+Damm> msf, just pulling in the node[:network][:interfaces] attributes
20:44 < randybias> node[:network][:interfaces][:eth0][:addresses]
09:13 < sinBot> so fujin if I wanted to use that in an erb template, it'd be <%= @node[:network][:interfaces]["en1"]["addresses"].select{address}.flatten.to_str %> ?
12:27 < cwj> if i have an ipv4 ip address set on eth0, will it always be in @node[:network][:interfaces][:eth0][1] ?
02:19 < pluesch0r> however, i don't seem to be able to access @node[:network][:interfaces]... from inside the attributes file.
19:52 <@jtimberman> or node[:network][:interfaces][:eth0][:addresses][0]
20:09 < seryl> well, it's searchable. I'm trying the @node[:network][:interfaces][:eth0][:addresses][0] route, but getting blanks right now, playing around with it in chef solo
