• Goto your snapshots and create a volume from the snapshot
• Go to the instance and stop the instance running
• Detach the EBS from the instance
• Attach the new volume to the instance, make sure its /dev/sta1
• Now reinitiate the instance
• If you have an elastic IP, now you can relink this ip to your instance

$ sudo ipfw add allow tcp from any 20,21 to any 1024-65535 in

Green computing, or green information technology (IT), refers to environmentally sustainable computing. It is the study and practice of using computing resources efficiently by designing, manufacturing, using, and disposing of computers, servers, and associated subsystems (such as monitors, printers, storage devices, and networking and communication systems) with minimal or no impact on the environment. Green computing strives for economic practicality and improved system performance while satisfying social and ethical responsibilities. Green computing includes the dimensions of environmental sustainability, energy efficiency economics, and total cost of ownership (which includes the cost of disposals and recycling).”

Green computing can be made more sustainable in several ways including:
Placing the computer in hibernation mode
Switching the computer screen off instead of using screensavers
Turning the computer off when it is not in use

Feel free to debate on what green computing is.

End of 2011, I was fortunate enough to spend a fair amount of time talking to both Nigel Beighton (CTO / VP Rackspace International) and Professor Tony West (CTO / VP Cisco) before their visits to University of Kent. I find both leaders have great traits for us to learn. They are focused, time efficient and great team players / motivators.

Driven by clear visions and open to discussions, and most of all, they are very down to earth. Their visions, coming from years of experience (and long difficult roads), allow them to see through complications to their goals. This emphasised the fact that good things doesn’t come over night. It takes years of preparation, determination to follow through. Pleased to be working with and learning from them.

What i did was go into cherokee via ssh. click on vserver and located the wordpress installation directory: /var/lib/cherokee/…..130xxxxxxx . With this number I used phpmyadmin to get into the database and updated the options table to default. this fixed the problem..phew… too much automation gives one the creeps. anyways. the following article will help.

SELECT *
FROM wp_options
WHERE option_name = 'template'
OR option_name = 'stylesheet'
OR option_name = 'current_theme';

the above 3 is changed to value = twentyeleven

You can disable the screensaver directly from “run” option

• Either run the command:

or add Caffeine by

• opening terminal
• running this line:

• sudo add-apt-repository ppa:caffeine-developers/ppa

• adding new application called caffeine
• then launch it via applications
• when it starts, a cup of coffee will be in the task bar
• just click on it and activate on login as well as flash video embedd
