WlugMember plugin ldap error: missing php ldap?

Many things in life can be easily summed up by asking yourself three simple questions. These are known as the Who, Why and What

Jabber ID: jid:gwvandesteeg@jabber.meta.net.nz (this is not an email address)

Who is he

GerwinVanDeSteeg, the guy slowly going mad in the corner. (Altho some might claim you can't go something you already are)

Graduated from WaikatoUniversity with a degree in ComputerTechnology and gone on to greener pastures.

Occasionally writes useless programs that do stuff. Language preferences at the moment are PHP, C/C++, or if he can get away with it, a simple bash(1) script.

Why is he here

I think it was just plain good luck on my part that my parents immigrated here and that I got to tag along, or the massive amount of incredibly bad luck accumulated in the Waikato by it's residents.

What's for lunch

Well.. Anything goes really

Other

  • x86 AssemblyLanguage is a good hobby for anyone.
  • Can usually be found somewhere on IRC, on one of UnderNet's servers, going by the name TIK_.

Pet Hates

  • Incredibly bad spelling, l33t sp34k, or abbreviated SMS messages. Using excessive punctuation is perfectly acceptable however.
  • People who do not use apropriate white space to make code easy to read instead of stringing things together.

Likes and Hobbies

  • SCUBADiving and instruction of said sport.
  • Playing with linux projects mostly regarding LDAP, email (Exim, Sendmail), SpamAssassin, PHP, MySQL, Snort, ACID, BASE, and other related things.
  • WorldOfWarcraft

Todo list thingamy

  • Get a decent internet connection, 2400 baud just doesn't quite do anymore these days. Although it is enough for IRC1?.
  • Find free time
  • Get organised
  • An operating system
  • A decent usefull linux distro for the purpose of; providing a quick method of deploying a small to medium enterprise, server for a singular purpose such as: email, file serving, squid. With a nice gui (web based) for easy of control and management. All designed from two security models in mind. Least privilege where anything not specifically allowed is explicitely denied, and the other where anything not expressely forbidden is allowed 2?.
