*** 特價<a href="http://bit.ly/eCommerce-Pack" target="_blank">優惠同綑包</a>，只到 澳洲時間 今年十二月三號 12pm ***<br />
<br />
這次超級特價的網站模板同綑包，涵蓋了四大網路商店平台：<b>WordPress</b>，<b>Magento</b>，<b>OpenCart</b>，<b>PrestaShop</b>。<br />
<br />
都是國外架設網路商店時經常採用的架站平台。這次同綑包針對這四大平台各推出一款模板，原本四個分開買總共需要美金 $240，<b>現在只要美金 $20！</b><br />
<br />
就算只需要其中一個，也很划算！而且通常我們也只會用到其中一個，但也很划算（因為這一類的模板，平常買一個也是要個美金 $45 到 $100 不等，甚至更貴，通常最貴的是 Magento，功能也最能高度客製化，當然也最複雜），如果這個版型是自己喜歡的，買下來再自己改或找朋友幫忙小修改，就可以調出很有型的網路商店囉！<br />
<br />
我把這四個模板的基本外形先貼出來跟大家分享，但大家記得不要分開結賬喔，要省錢就要記得去買<a href="http://bit.ly/eCommerce-Pack" target="_blank">同綑包</a>，才會省到錢喔。<br />

<h3>
AWS Cloud Kata | Taipei - Opening Keynote</h3>
以 Dropbox Pro Tip 為舉例，剛好前陣子拜訪 Dropbox 舊金山辦公室，特別有感覺。<br />
<ul>
<li>#1: Learn early, learn often.</li>
<li>#2: Not launching = Painful. Not learning = Fatal.</li>
<li>#3: "Keep the main thing the main thing".</li>
</ul>
接下來是讓大家猜猜哪一家新創公司只有 3 位工程師。開張第一天有 25K 新會員註冊，星期五就移過去 EC2 了。以下是 Instagram Pro Tips:<br />
<ul>
<li>#1: Keep it very simple.</li>
<li>#2: Don't re-invent the wheel: Go with proven and solid technologies.</li>
<li>#3: Minimize operational burden instrument everything.</li>
</ul>
第三家的 Pro Tips 我是覺得有點硬凹，就不整理了。偶爾聽身邊玩 AWS 的朋友說 AWS 常常將產品銷售融入在對客戶的教育訓練終於無形，終究還是在銷售。我同意，終究還是在銷售，但是一家 IaaS 廠商， 能夠有這麼完整的產品與解決方案覆蓋率，而且真的有機會可以跟客戶一起成長，大家彼此專注在各自應該專注的領域，共榮共存，也滿好的。<br />
<br />
說我被洗腦嗎？我覺得不盡然，如果一個 business model 本身是可以基於 IaaS 採用 AWS 架構的情況下獲利，那就是獲利。在 business model 本身未知是否獲利的情況下，直接討論哪一家 IaaS 或任何服務或產品，是貴還是便宜，就沒有意義了。可以在條件盡可能接近的狀況下做成本單價的比較，但是整天討論「貴」或「便宜」這種形容詞的話，倒是可以把時間省下來，專心實做 business model 並且做驗證。<br />

AWS Cloud Kata | Taipei - Getting to Scale</h3>
這份投影片循序漸進帶著大家逐步擴充自己的機器群與架構，從 Production 1.0, 1.1, 1.2, 1.3，然後最後用<a href="https://github.com/newsapps/beeswithmachineguns" target="_blank">蜜蜂</a>轟炸主機做 auto scaling live demo。<br />
<br />
最經典的一段就是當新產品準備開始實作時，問說該用 SQL 還是 NoSQL 呢？回答是「用 SQL 」，那大家可能會問說「但是，但是，但是，但是...」回答：「不，你不會（或你沒有）。請用 SQL。」<br />

AWS Cloud Kata | Taipei - Getting to Profitability</h3>

<h3>
AWS Cloud Kata | Taipei - Getting to MVP</h3>
Lean Startups 的概念或說想法，有人喜歡，有人不喜歡，但以自己走了幾年的感觸來看，有一點共通不變的是「資源有限」。資源可以泛指「人（知識、技能）、機（工具、輔助品）、材（材料、待加工品）、時間」。<br />
<br />
簡報檔中有出現很可愛的滑鼠當年的概念雛形（Prototype），哈！讚！我們 <a href="http://www.pafers.com/" target="_blank">PAFERS</a> Lab 開發新產品時也是兜一兜電路板就開始測試可不可行了 :-)<br />
<br />
我很認同第 17 頁的「Fail Forward, Fail Faster, Fail Cheaper」。當然，認同、知道、和做到、實作，都是不同時間點和順序。如何擁有或創造這樣的環境，一樣會回到一開始的「資源有限」討論上。有一句來自於 KPCB 的引言，也提到「Startups are all about focus.」。都是在講一樣的事情。<br />

這幾天在測試 <a href="http://www.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/new/" target="_blank">Firefox OS</a> 手機，抓了幾個小遊戲下來玩。儘量找了離線也可以玩的小遊戲，這樣在沒有網路的時候（例如交通時間沒有網路訊號之類的）也可以殺殺時間，在零碎時間也可以使用 <a href="http://www.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/new/" target="_blank">Firefox OS</a> 手機。下一個目標也許是找找可以離線閱讀的工具。十二月的目標想要測看看旅行是否也適合帶 <a href="http://www.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/new/" target="_blank">Firefox OS</a>。<br />
<br />
好的，回來今天的主題，一款簡單輕鬆有趣的塔防遊戲「<a href="https://marketplace.firefox.com/app/age-of-barbarians?src=search" target="_blank">Age of Barbarians</a>」。剛剛找了一下才發現，原來「<a href="https://marketplace.firefox.com/app/age-of-barbarians?src=search" target="_blank">Age of Barbarians</a>」有上 <a href="http://firefoxosappoftheweek.tumblr.com/post/64380299971/age-of-barbarians-game" target="_blank">Week 5 的 Firefox OS App of the Week</a>！<br />

從 Marketplace 安裝之後，可以在桌面上看到 <a href="https://marketplace.firefox.com/app/age-of-barbarians?src=search" target="_blank">Age of Barbarians</a>  的圖示。點選之後進入遊戲主地圖，類似關卡地圖，一關一關解開之後前往下一關。我已經手癢玩了幾關。（然後再換頁後卡在某一關，所以就跑來寫分享文轉換一下 XDD）<br />

遊戲的設定算是很基本的塔防，依照關卡等級不同，會有不同的敵兵通道入口，左上角的關卡任務卡會顯示這一關總共有幾波攻擊，攻擊到來之前在左下角會有的倒數時鐘提醒你。<br />

在關卡中，玩家可以在地圖上指定的位置建造防禦性建築物，來抵禦外侮。隨著關卡的晉級會有不同的建築物可以選擇，最一開始只有射箭塔。被殲滅的敵軍會換算成分數（或是錢），然後可以用得到的分數，再蓋下一個建築物，或是升級現有的建築物。<br />

另外畫面的右下角有一本魔法叔，可以施放地域性（可惜不是地獄性）的魔法，最一開始被解鎖可以使用的魔法是 SLOW SPELL，選用魔法後要用手指點選施放地區，畫面上會出現一個封印，但別想太多，時效很短 :p 算是無魚蝦也好等級的魔法吧 XD<br />

這是遊戲中的畫面，也就是我卡關的關卡，哈！從左上角可以看到這一關總共有 10 波攻擊，以及我剩下 1 條命 :p 沒有守住的敵軍，走到我方軍營本部裡頭，玩家就會少一個愛心。基本上，我應該是很認真在遊戲快要結束的當下努力截圖，哈。<br />

Firefox OS Game: Age of Barbarians

這幾天在測試 Firefox OS 手機，抓了幾個小遊戲下來玩。儘量找了離線也可以玩的小遊戲，這樣在沒有網路的時候（例如交通時間沒有網路訊號之類的）也可以殺殺時間，在零碎時間也可以使用 Firefox OS 手機。下一個目標也許是找找可以離線閱讀的工具。十二月的目標想要...

前幾週在 <a href="https://groups.google.com/forum/#!forum/moztw-general" target="_blank">moztw-general 群組</a>上看到 Peter 邀請大家一起來玩（測試）Gaia v1.2 的繁體中文。但這週末才抓了個空檔來玩。<br />
<br />
<h2>
1. 環境</h2>
<ul>
<li>FirefoxOS Phone 橘色亮麗的 <a href="http://talk.ernestchiang.com/2013/05/unboxing-keon-geeksphone-firefox-os.html" target="_blank">Keon</a></li>
<li>Mac OS 10.9（Windows 或 Linux/Ubuntu 亦可，但我今天用手邊的 Mac 測試。）</li>
<ul>
<li>機器上已經預先準備好 python, git, hg, XCode command line tool, brew 等工具。如果有缺工具，可以參考<a href="https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Developer_Guide/Build_Instructions/Mac_OS_X_Prerequisites" target="_blank">這邊</a>。</li>
</ul>
</ul>
<br />
<h2>
2. 更新 Gecko</h2>
<ul>
<li>[謝謝 Peter 支援] 在 <a href="http://downloads.geeksphone.com/" target="_blank">Geeksphone 下載</a>頁面，抓 <a href="http://downloads.geeksphone.com/keon/master/latest_master.html" target="_blank">Nightly image</a> 下來。解壓縮後，在 Mac 上跑 ./flash_mac.sh。（其他作業系統請執行對應的 script）</li>
<li>我一開始沒有更新 Gecko，所以刷了 Gaia v1.2 之後停留在 FirefoxOS logo 畫面。</li>
</ul>
<br />
<h2>
3. 更新 Gaia</h2>
<ul>
<li>我主要參考：<a href="https://etherpad.mozilla.org/fxos-zhtw-1-2-qatest">https://etherpad.mozilla.org/fxos-zhtw-1-2-qatest</a></li>
<li>先依照「<a href="https://l10n.etherpad.mozilla.org/gaia-multilocale">https://l10n.etherpad.mozilla.org/gaia-multilocale</a>」的 v1.2流程走一次。不同的是我把 ~/moz 改用 ~/b2g。也可以參考我整理的 init_keon_gaia_1.2.sh script 來初始環境（服用之前，建議還是看一眼，也許我們的初始環境需求不同）：<br /><script src="https://gist.github.com/dwchiang/7383328.js"></script></li>
<li>再來可以參考 Peter 的 「<a href="https://gist.github.com/petercpg/7097845">flash_keon_1.2.sh</a> 」來刷機。第一次跑會下載一大包的 xulrunner。</li>
</ul>
<br />
<h2>
4. 完成！</h2>
<ul>
<li>完成刷機之後就可以開始測試囉 :-)</li>
</ul>

<a href="https://wiki.mozilla.org/Services/Location" target="_blank">Mozilla Location Service</a> 是一個實驗性且前瞻性的 geolocation 計畫，也許未來在 GPS 訊號不佳的情況下，也能有其他定位的選擇。上週剛在 Mozilla Blog 上有<a href="https://blog.mozilla.org/services/2013/10/28/introducing-the-mozilla-location-service/" target="_blank">文章</a>介紹這個專案。現在還在非常早期的階段，但如果你有興趣的話，大家都能有參與的方式。其中之一是可以拿出我們的 Android 手機，安裝一個軟體「<a href="https://github.com/dougt/MozStumbler/releases" target="_blank">MozStumbler</a>」（安裝的方式是下載 .apk 還沒放上 Google Play）。<br />
<br />
操作畫面非常簡單。下圖是週末外出騎腳踏車順便開著掃描的畫面。<br />

點選「Start Scanning」之後，<a href="https://github.com/dougt/MozStumbler/releases" target="_blank">MozStumbler</a> 就會開始掃描並自動上傳資料。提醒一下，會很耗電，因為同時要收 GPS 訊號以及持續性使用掃描 Wi-Fi 與手機基地台訊號。<br />
<br />
<a href="https://wiki.mozilla.org/Services/Location/Privacy" target="_blank">隱私</a>方面，若你希望自家基地台訊號不要被收入資料庫中，可以在 SSID 後面加上「<a href="https://wiki.mozilla.org/Services/Location/Privacy" target="_blank">_nomap</a>」。<br />
<br />
另外，專案團隊為了增加趣味性，有做了個簡單的「<a href="https://location.services.mozilla.com/leaders" target="_blank">leaderboard</a>」，以及「<a href="https://location.services.mozilla.com/stats" target="_blank">統計</a>」和「<a href="https://location.services.mozilla.com/map_world" target="_blank">互動式地圖</a>」。<br />
<br />
拿出你的 Android Device 來安裝「<a href="https://github.com/dougt/MozStumbler/releases" target="_blank">MozStumbler</a>」吧 :-)<br />

How to create EC2 snapshots with multiple AWS accounts by CLI?

<br />
The new 2013 <a href="http://aws.amazon.com/cli/" target="_blank">AWS CLI (python-based)</a> tool is really awesome!!<br />
<br />
I plan to have a script to have snapshots for all my friends' instances 
which work with EBS (volumes). First of all, I use IAM to create a user 
who have limited permissions so that I don't need all of their root 
account access/secret keys. Here are my steps.<br />
<h2>
1. Install AWS CLI</h2>
You can setup the new CLI on Windows, Mac, and Linux very easily (than previous versions). On my ubuntu server, I just need to install:<br />
<br />
<pre class="brush: bash">apt-get install python-pip
pip install awscli</pre>
<br />
More details, please refer to <a href="http://docs.aws.amazon.com/cli/latest/userguide/cli-chap-getting-set-up.html" target="_blank">here</a>. <br />
<br />
<h2>
2. Create a AWS CLI config file</h2>
You will put all your access/secret keys and assigned regions at this config file: <i><b>~/.aws/config</b></i><br />
Please do remember to assign your region. "Region" is also important for almost all AWS CLI and AWS API calls. Also, make sure you keep this file in a save location, and 'chmod 600' may be a good idea.<br />
<br />
Here is an example one:<br />
<br />
<pre class="brush: bash">[default]
aws_access_key_id={your access key}
aws_secret_access_key={your secret key}
region={your region}
output=text

[profile server01]
aws_access_key_id={your access key}
aws_secret_access_key={your secret key}
region={your region}
output=text

[profile server02]
aws_access_key_id={your access key}
aws_secret_access_key={your secret key}
region={your region}
output=text</pre>
<br />
If you're interested in "<a href="http://docs.aws.amazon.com/cli/latest/userguide/cli-chap-getting-started.html#cli-multiple-profiles" target="_blank">Multiple Configuration Profiles</a>" please refer to the AWS CLI document.<br />
<br />
<h2>
3. Create a profile list file</h2>
As you seen in the ~/.aws/config that we create multiple configuration profiles there, then we can choose all or some of these profiles in our snapshot script.<br />
<br />
You can create a file to list all your profiles named "profile_list" at the same folder of <a href="https://gist.github.com/dwchiang/7261458/">snapshot-multiple.sh</a> (or you can modify the path by updating "profile_list"). If you want to use this for just one AWS account, there's no problem, you can just list one profile name in this file.<br />
<br />
Here is one example:<br />
<br />
<pre class="brush: shell">server01
server02</pre>
<br />
<h2>
4. Create a script for snapshot </h2>
I may update this <a href="https://gist.github.com/dwchiang/7261458/">snapshot-multiple.sh</a> script in the future so I put it at gist.<br />
<br />
<script src="https://gist.github.com/dwchiang/7261458.js"></script><br />
<br />
<br />
<h2>
5. Test it & modify it</h2>
I choose the tag name of the running instances, and current date as the description of snapshots. You can mark the command "aws ec2 create-snapshot --volume-id $volume --description $description" with a "#" in front of this line for your testing. You will see how's going about the naming and you can modify to be the right naming format you want. <br />
<br />
<h2>
6. Run it</h2>
Once you like the description of snapshot naming rules, you can remove the "#" in front of "aws ec2 create-snapshot" and run this script. (You may need to 'chmod u+x snapshot-multiple.sh' to run it.)<br />
<br />
If you like it, you can put it in your crontab. Also, you may want to reference this AWS whitepaper "<a href="http://media.amazonwebservices.com/AWS_Backup_Recovery.pdf">Backup and Recovery Approaches Using AWS</a>" (page. 7~9) to know more about snapshots and hot backups.<br />
