#Lessons learned from 5-9-2012 training
- Network card selection (if you're connecting wifi, make sure you bridge on Airport, etc)
- Setting up hosts file on Mac (use vi?)
- Why did IP addresses get reassigned so frequently (lots of dropped connections)?
- IP address in tutorial is not the IP address the user will want to use, this should be noted to the user somewhere…
- What was the cause of "madrona roulette" where madrona would resolve to someone elses IP address? Some sort of broadcast?
- Need to set up guest additions to resize screen and get copy-n-paste working (apt-get build-essential linux-headers-
uname -r; sudo VBox...run )
- "unknown status"
- Folder named folder
- Can't hit initialize twice
- General unreliability
- More explicit instruction re Editing /etc/hosts on Mac
- Point to external "prereq" docs like Django tutorial
- Explain assumptions (e.g. why a geometry_orig and geometry_final)
- Apparently Matt noted that something (probably models.py) was, in fact, the "Crux of the Biscuit"
- One call for "more geodjango"
