Millionaire in Fastlane

MJ DeMarco's book, The Millionaire Fastlane: Crack the Code to Wealth and Live Rich for a Lifetime, is a very interesting piece of work. I was inspired by it actually.

He has stated that most financial gurus are not telling you the truth and pointing the masses to follow the 'slowlane'.

"Go to school, get a job, save 10% of your paycheck, buy a used car, save and one day when you will be 65 years old you will retire rich."

That is not something I want. So what is the solution? Be an entrepreneur, especially to take advantage of the Internet

Just like any other business, all successful business must be based on "Need". Without it, there are no business case.

2nd, what is the barrier of entry, the higher the barrier, it is better

Then, other things to be consider are the scale of the business can be growth, the control of tangible & intangible assets, etc

And last but not least, the distraction that derail you from your goals

It is something that make me thinking hard ......

Opensource LDAP

LDAP has been around for decades and openldap is the only opensource ldap in town until few years ago.

I think openldap is great but it is just too complicated & operationally inconvenience to implement. Along, I have discovered 2 alternative opensource ldap that possible to fit our project requirements.


Alternative 1:-
389 Directory Server aka RedHat Directory Server is available for linux distro but it also work on HPUX, Solaris, etc. It share the common root with openldap with base branch from University of Michigan. It has all the features that openldap offered & it has we admin interface that make the administration easy


Alternative 2:-
OpenDJ/OpenDS is Java based ldap that started by SUN. It probably is the most effortless to setup. On performance, it has reported it can handle millions of search requests per second.

Verdict:-
My choice of opensource ldap is 389 Directory Server as our server farm is mostly RedHat Linux based & our administrators are very much comfortable with it
