Today 

Day off of the rowing machine.

Went up the hill to the radio repeater site and helped WA6JAU get our 70cm UHF repeater back on the air. Beautiful day, if chilly.

Design like you give a damn ... a book 

Great title. Subtitle: Architectural Repsonses to Human Crises. From Wordchanging

It's all about housing and shelter, sanitation, planning, etc. But it's all about looking at this all differently. Looks good.

I hate to link to Amazon, but it's not available from Alibris yet. Trying to not create new book sales if I don't need to.

WTF Alert. Primer for Design of Commercial Buildings to Mitigate Terrorist Attacks 

Via the public library looking to see if they had Design as if you give a damn ... a FEMA 108 page PDF. If you're building a commecial building and think you or it might be a terrorist target, this is probably essential reading for your architect and planning team ... of course, a quick review of the recent action novels and movies would be more fun and probably provide more to think about.

Virtual Directory Use Case - Multiple LDAP Servers 

Blog entry by one Mark Wilcox of Oracle. Advice on how to stitch together multiple directories. Bottom line: deploy a Virtual Directory (such as Oracle Virtual Directory).

It's curious how Use Case, which used to have a valuable meaning, has been devalued to any fuzzy statement about the use of something. Oh well. I guess it's too much to ask people who want to be thought of as professionals to act professionally.

The "Use Case" assumes that all the directories have a consistent schema and use of the schema otherwise the results will be ambiguous and, possibly, incomplete. Of course if it's all Microsoft Domain Crontroller data via LDAPish interface, that's clearly not an issue . What more would we expect from Oracle?

OpenLDAP supports Virtual Directories of LDAP servers through the back-ldap backend module (standard) which is shipped with every source distribution of OpenLDAP and the convenient platform-friendly binary distributions of Symas's Connexitor Directory Services (CDS). OpenLDAP offers an open backend interface for easy development of additional backends.
