At IBM Hursley attending a workshop and having one-to-one meetings with WebSphere gurus together with Dino. Here just outside IBM Hursley.

At the Innovation Center, innovative clock...

Leaving IBM for the day. This picture is taken just at the roundabout outside of the area, we are really out in the backcountry

A bit further down, sheeps. Compared to IBM Hursley the main office of IBM in Norway is downtown.

Close to the end of the day, testing the Stonehenge Old Smokey, good one!

Last Friday, bought the Störtebeker Bernstein-Weizen when in Sweden. Super one, really do recommend it.

Just had an issue when trying to commit changes to SVN. Now using Collabnet Subversion Edge 3.2.2-3395.103. Have configured authentication using LDAP, that is Active Directory. Error message when trying to commit changes

Code:

Found this very strange since it was working without problems yesterday. Tried to restart both services several times, no help. Nothing found in the logs either.

Then trying to log on to the Edge admin console with my AD-user...not possible. Using the superuser, logged in, changed LDAP from using port 389 to 3268 as the console provides a hint to do: Hint: try 3268 for Active Directory servers . Restarted Apache and voila, up an running again.

My conclusion: AD ...arrghh!

Trying to configure Collabnet to authenticate using LDAP following the guideline at http://blogs.collab.net/subversion/subversion_ldap.

Got the error:

Code:

Fixed by reading this blog post sleeplessmonkey./../joys-of-apache-webserver-and-modules

Switch AuthLDAPAuthoritative to AuthzLDAPAuthoritative, problem solved.

Frithjof Jacobsen aka Biff Malibu (or is it the other way around?), former lead singer in Gluecifer "The Kings of Rock". A hell of a band, no dobut. The book about 101 concerts back in 2004. Not sure if he tried to write the Norwegian version of The Dirt, if so, no success. Not sure what the correct phrase would be, but in Norwegian I would say "perfekt toalettlektyre".

The current view from my desk

This is a room with a view

Got an email from Linkedin saying:

Rune, congratulations! You have one of the top 10% most viewed LinkedIn profiles for 2012.

They have 200 million profiles so I my first reaction is "yeah, rrriiighht!" And then they want me to share the below text on Twitter, FB and such:

Hurray! I have one of the top 10% most viewed @LinkedIn profiles for 2012. http://www.linkedin.com/pub/profile/0/70b/01b

Confusing, first time I tried the url I got this profile http://uk.linkedin.com/pub/odi-nanka-bruce/0/70b/1, but now it is pointing to my own profile. So maybe it is true, and then either

• WebSphere is extremly hot all around the world, and therefore people view my profile
• A lot of people have a profile, but no connections and such, and I am part of the 10% having updated the profile
