Playing hooky today and tomorrow to go down to Bend OR and pick up my @crickettrailer. Really excited!
RT @ramez: We need a tumblr of graphs not baselined on zero. It would be full of lies-by-graph, from both left and right. Fox is not special here.

Peer review time at Google. It feels like being back in college and writing term papers -- except you are judging your peers. Ug.

I preordered an oculus dev kit after the FB news came out. Had been planning to for a little bit. The technology still looks awesome.
#GCPLive was great. Headed back to Seattle. Snapped a shot of the Bay Bridge on my way out. https://twitter.com/jbeda...

Comment by Joe Beda on Where do GCE compute instance accounts come from when creating new instances? - http://stackoverflow.com/questio...
The script won't remove any user accounts to avoid data loss. Check for sshKeys via gcutil getproject and gcutil getinstance <instance name> also to make sure you aren't missing something. - Joe Beda
Answer by Joe Beda for Where do GCE compute instance accounts come from when creating new instances? - http://stackoverflow.com/questio...
The accounts inside the VM are separate from the accounts that have permission to operate on the API. The accounts in the VM come from the sshKeys metadata value that the VM sees. This is a union of VM specific metadata and the project metadata. By default gcutil will prompt you to create a key and expand the sshKeys metadata value with that key and $USER. The easiest way to see and edit this is at the Cloud Console. There are more details on ssh'ing into the instance here. - Joe Beda
Answer by Joe Beda for Can Google App Engine make a http request to a Compute Engine instance within the same project without an external IP? - http://stackoverflow.com/questio...
This is currently unsupported. Communication between App Engine and GCE must go through the URLFetch API and use a public IP. - Joe Beda
Answer by Joe Beda for gcutil addinstance no longer returns IP address of instance - http://stackoverflow.com/questio...
A future release will add this back by default. We removed columns to make it fit on a more typical terminal but perhaps went too far. In the meantime, you can run: gcutil listinstances --columns=name,zone,external-ip,status Sorry for the inconvenience! - Joe Beda
Answer by Joe Beda for gcutil is not woking with OS X 10.9 - http://stackoverflow.com/questio...
This is a known issue and we are working on getting a fix out ASAP. In the meantime, you can run the command output in the INFO line. We are tracking this issue here. - Joe Beda
