MacDevCenter ran an article last week on setting up LDAP on OS X Server. The article points to a key problem I've had consistently. When looking at the admin interface the server constantly says KDC is not running. This looks to be a reverse domain name mapping problem with making sure that there is agreement between the forward and reverse domains.

As we're settling into the place I thought I'd share my recently expanded view of real estate terminology. For those who have not yet joined the ranks of rural property owners here is a guide to terms you might encounter:

Automatic Waterers - a device that at one time is purported to have provided water to animals. The main control valve may function but don't count on it. At least you'll have a collection of semi-usable parts to start your own system.

35 minutes from ________ - fill in the blank and buy a jet. You'll need it to get from wherever they are claiming is 35 minutes away. Unless you plan on being a permanent donut provider for your local coppers you won't make it in 35 minutes. Probably better allot an hour to make it.

I got around to doing the upgrade to the latest version of Drupal tonight. The main site hasn't been upgraded yet but it will be in the next couple of days. The database and site on my Powerbook are upgraded and it looks nice. It took a few minutes to get the old themes out of the way and to re-work the .htaccess file to make the rewrite work properly. Ironically I was thinking of starting anew with a simpler theme and keeping it simpler. The default theme with the new Drupal does this nicely.

So this was an upgrade that was "assisted" by United Airlines. Having an extra two hours to wait for the flight tonight gave me plenty of time to work out the kinks. Not that it made me happy per se. But it gave some time to work out the kinks.
