This seems to be a fairly undocumented hot topic that I’ve been trying to find an answer to for the last couple of days. Let me preface this by saying I am not an expert in SugarCRM or LDAP, but I finally got it up and running. Here’s my settings for getting SugarCRM Version 5.0.0b (Build 3150) authenticating via LDAP to our Windows 2003 Server Active Directory Domain Controller. Sugar is set up on a RHEL box using apache and MySQL. Get this up and running on our SQL Server 2005 cluster is going to be the next challenge .
Server: servername (Make sure the server your SugarCRM instance is on can ping your LDAP server.)
Port Number: 389 (If you are using LDAP over SSL, the default is 636.)
Base DN: DC=foo,DC=bar (If your domain is foo.bar. More normally this is probably going to be foo.com.)
Bind Attribute: userPrincipalName
Login Attribute: sAMAccountName
Authenticated User: user@foo
Authenticated Password: ********** (Password for user@foo.)
Auto Create Users:
Encryption Key: (Leave this blank)
Shout out to Softerra and their awesome LDAP Browser tool.
This quote is John McCain. He’s used it on multiple occasions during interviews to dodge questions.
“We don’t know what we don’t know”
This I hear at least once a week. Both quotes mean nothing. Repeated use of them is grating to everyone that has to listen to it. Just say,
“I don’t know”
If you don’t know something, just say so. Everyone should really stop trying to be cute and start taking responsibility for your lack of knowledge – especially when you have the facilities at your fingertips to obtain it.
Here’s a colleague’s nice way of talking about someone behind their back:
I’d Say It In Front of Her/Him, but they really are not good at <insert task>.
I’m not sure if this is unnecessarily mean or smooth and soft-skills best practice. Maybe both. Part of managing is getting the right people doing the right tasks and that definitely means knowing your team’s strengths and weaknesses.
(4:52:03 PM) kaitlen: incidentally, happy belated baby back shrimp day
(4:52:21 PM) kaitlen: we’ve still gotta come up with a recipe, man.
(4:52:30 PM) zack: haha goddamn
(4:52:33 PM) kaitlen: that sounds too tasty to abandon
(4:52:35 PM) zack: happy bbsd
(4:53:00 PM) zack: that sort of sounds like some weird fetish porn though
(4:53:09 PM) kaitlen: haha a bit, yeah
(4:54:35 PM) zack: I think baby back shrimp should go something like this.
1) Make delicious ribs so ribs fall off bone
2) Wrap shrimp around bones with bacon.
3) Toss baby back shrimp back into the rib pot to cook the shrimp + bacon

(4:55:32 PM) kaitlen: mmm….that sounds good.
(4:55:40 PM) kaitlen: and gets some bacon in there, too.
(4:55:45 PM) kaitlen: bravo, zack.
(4:55:47 PM) kaitlen: bravo.
(4:57:12 PM) zack: I mean, how else would you get the shrimp to stay on?
This ad creeps me the fuck out. Look at him! He has no fucking eyes! They didn’t take them out while he was still alive did they?! Some weirdo graphic designer must have gotten a kick out of this. Anyway Jerry, you are awesome but every time I see this ad on the subway I feel you stealing a piece of my soul with your ghastly stare from the depths of hell.
These stats on Google Reader’s keyboard shortcuts are pretty interesting but what would really be great is a way to reliably open up the original item in a new tab. The ‘v’ shortcut seems to act differently depending on the item and I can never quite figure out why this happens. Often times the original item opens in the same tab Reader is currently using and that sucks big nuts. Holding shift down + ‘v’ doesn’t work for opening in a new tab because that shortcut trigger is looking for a lowercase ‘v’ not a capital one.
One simple solution to this might be that as you key to an item in Reader (especially via the shortcuts ‘j’ or ‘k’), they could focus () on the link that goes to the outside source/item. Then I could happily hit Ctrl+Enter to launch that link, in a new tab, in the background.
Other than this minor annoyance, I have only wonderful things to say about Google Reader. Thanks for a great free product. And Bloglines: I’m sorry baby, I still feel guilty about dumping you, but you had some mental baggage I just wasn’t willing to deal with. Oh, an you’re ugly too.
Fogless shaving mirror got you down? It started fogging up again didn’t it? Bastard. A simple fix is to get a little bar soap on your hand and smear it on the mirror before each time you want to use it. Keeps the mirror fog free and you from buying any more “fogless” mirrors.
