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

true and false vs. "truthy" and "falsey" (or "falsy") in Ruby, Python, and JavaScript

Many programming languages, including Ruby, have native boolean (true and false) data types. In Ruby they're called true and false. In Python, for example, they're written as True and False. But oftentimes we want to use a non-boolean value (integers, strings, arrays, etc.) in a boolean context (if statement, &&, ||, etc.).

This outlines how this works in Ruby, with some basic examples from Python and JavaScript, too. The idea is much more general than any of these specific languages, though. It's really a question of how the people designing a programming language wants booleans and conditionals to work.

# Windows AMIs don't have WinRM enabled by default -- this script will enable WinRM
# AND install 7-zip, curl and .NET 4 if its missing.
# Then use the EC2 tools to create a new AMI from the result, and you have a system 
# that will execute user-data as a PowerShell script after the instance fires up!
# This has been tested on Windows 2008 SP2 64bits AMIs provided by Amazon
# 
# Inject this as user-data of a Windows 2008 AMI, like this (edit the adminPassword to your needs):
#
# <powershell>
# Set-ExecutionPolicy Unrestricted
