land of choice == land with no highways

right. I generally do not speak about politics. This is however an exception.
Romania is a beautiful country. Below clip shows what I mean.



Most of you reaching this blog are from abroad, as shown by my google analytics. So, you must have heard about Nadia, Ilie and Hagi. But have you ever heard about a bunch of politicians which cannot make decisions so that highways can be build in 20 years ? Well, I have. These fellows lead Romania.

So, you'd better visit Romania only if you're willing to rent a helicopter to drop you here and there, to admire the beauties of this country.

To highlight above statement, I'll soon be driving 650km in this country. Instead of 5 to 6 hrs on a highway, I'll drive from 10 to 12 hrs. See what I mean ?

ldap browser

It's been a while since I highlighted free software to use. Now it's time for me to mention that I settled on the following:

JXplorer This used to be the world's finest LDAP browser for me, until 5 minutes ago, when I discovered LDAPAdmin.

Kudos to the developers of both LDAP browsers.

UPDATE: as noted by Brian in comments, the better alternative is: Apache Directory Studio . I'm using it on a regular basis, whenever I digg into LDAPs. It also has a lightweight Apache LDAP server implemented in the application, which allows for mocking with LDAP (ldif import/export, schema changes and so on) on your own station, without the risk of compromising the LDAP you are working with.
