Warning grants.sql #chef

This must be AFTER including recipe mysql::server

Chef: Message at compile phase that looks like a warning:

INFO: Could not find previously defined grants.sql resource

Solution: Suppress that message

It is from opscode/mysql Cookbook because some template resource is not specified. So, to solve, just copy the code from recipe, before including opscode/mysql cookbook

The only way to install ZeroMQ in Windows
:: Download ZeroMQ for Windows [Installers for Microsoft Windows](http://www.zeromq.org/distro:microsoft-windows)
:: Use only 32bit install, even on 64bit Windows and only 2.2.0 version (not 3.x)
:: Make sure you're not using the 3.x beta version of zeromq - you must use the official 2.x libs
ZeroMQ-<whatever>.exe /S /D=c:\tools\zeromq && echo ZeroMQ for Windows installed
:: DLL must be renamed
copy c:\tools\zeromq\bin\libzmq-v100-mt.dll c:\tools\zeromq\bin\libzmq.dll
:: Install Ruby Gem zmq

Install Gems without documentation #ruby #windows
:: Make --no-ri --no-rdoc default gem install options (without documentation)
:: Possible variations:
:: For every user:
:: echo gem: --no-ri --no-rdoc > "%PROGRAMDATA%\gemrc"
:: Only for you
:: echo gem: --no-ri --no-rdoc >> "%USERPROFILE%\.gemrc"
::
:: Note: In Windows, %PROGRAMDATA% is /etc on Linux
::
:: But finally, the best way to do it. See: http://stackoverflow.com/a/7662245/1579985

Fix Vagrant about environment variables #vagrant

Batch file vagrant.bat sets both GEM_HOME and GEM_PATH environment variables. It would be nice of him to restore old values after finishing it's work.

Something like:

:: Save variables
SET "GEM_HOME_SAVED=%GEM_HOME%"
SET "GEM_PATH_SAVED=%GEM_PATH%"

Using variables, also called repeated nodes in YAML, but in JSON variant of YAML format. I'm using this for the whole subtree. Great!

{
  "original": &VAR
  {
    "x": "Value x",
    "subtree":
    {
      "y": "Value Y"
