Capistrano 2.3 and Non-SCM deployment

Capistrano 2.3 now allows non-SCM deployment. So for 1-man projects without svn/git, it’s easier to deploy those apps now.

DynDns, Subversion, Capistrano

Created an account with DynDns and port forwarded the router to pc. The pc will act as SVN server for deploying application to servers using capistrano. The Speedtouch 511e ADSL modem which has a builtin router/firewall/dhcp was configured as a bridge while my 4port Edimax router do the grunt work. Got to keep the default settings for 511e somewhere in case I need to revert back to a simpler setup in the future.
