I'm working through the OpenStack on a single system installation method from
https://fosskb.wordpress.com/2014/10/18/openstack-juno-on-ubuntu-14-10/
mostly because I'm a masochist, but also because I really wanted to get a feeling for where everything is at, where it goes and what the basis for the installation is.
Some things that came back to me from the first part of the installation
a) touch is an awesome command
b) should I put in a password for mysql or not (I chose not to because it's a lab for me, but probably not a good idea in a production environment)
c) pay attention to the purpose of the command (I accidentally added two keystone endpoints that caused the subsequent commands to report two 'keystone' in with different IDs. Still hoping I deleted the correct one if there was a correct one to delete which I can't seem to figure out yet)
d) downloaded an image to glance and was able to report it back in image list when I was done, which was pretty cool
Will be starting on Nova as soon as I get back to it.
Wish me luck!

CamStudio - Open Source
I'm preparing to do a set of screen demonstrations and found CamStudio, an open source application to record both audio and video for the recorded demonstration.
I'm trying it out now and it looks pretty cool. I highly recommend taking the tutorial as the author changes the codec and shows you how to set it up.
The link to the software is below....

Workaround for xRDP
https://community.hpcloud.com/article/using-windows-rdp-access-your-ubuntu-instance
http://c-nergy.be/blog/?p=5305
Just putting this here for my own recollection, but if you run into a situation where you need to use RDP to remote into an Ubuntu system, here's a method. There are many, but this worked out really well.

New System (I love new toys)
Computer assembled.
Used unetbootin-windows-608.exe to create a USB boot drive with an Ubuntu image to do a 24 hour burn in. Get it here
Installation was very fast using a USB 3 interface and thumbdrive.
I'm now doing periodic tests of the MB lmsensors with the sensors command just to make sure everything runs ok.
user@ubuntuserver:~$ sensors
acpitz-virtual-0
Adapter: Virtual device
temp1: +27.8°C (crit = +105.0°C)
temp2: +29.8°C (crit = +105.0°C)
coretemp-isa-0000
Adapter: ISA adapter
Physical id 0: +33.0°C (high = +80.0°C, crit = +100.0°C)
Core 0: +30.0°C (high = +80.0°C, crit = +100.0°C)
Core 1: +32.0°C (high = +80.0°C, crit = +100.0°C)
Core 2: +33.0°C (high = +80.0°C, crit = +100.0°C)
Core 3: +28.0°C (high = +80.0°C, crit = +100.0°C)
Loading a copy of cpuburn now from apt to see what that does to the temps.
