First, look at documentation
http://drupal.org/handbook/modules/ldap_integration
Next, download the right module for your Drupal version
http://drupal.org/project/ldap_integration
For me it was ldap_integration-6.x-1.0-beta1.tar.gz
Expand compressed package, unpack archive

gzip -d ldap_integration-6.x-1.0-beta1.tar.gz
tar -xvf ldap_integration-6.x-1.0-beta1.tar

Move ldap module into drupal. Assuming tar file was expanded in drupal folder, simply
mv ldap_integration modules
Now we go to Drupal=>Administer->Site Building->Modules
Scroll down to bottom, enable LDAP Authentication. Optionally [...]

Perl module Device::SerialPort is our friend.
As is Clipboard, IO::All, Spiffy
Trying to talk to a Sartorius precision balance. Speaks over Serial/USB cable.
Dang, there was supposed to be more here to serve as documentation. Now, months later, I have forgotten it all…
Here is at least the shell of the code:

#!/usr/bin/perl
use Data::Dumper;
use DBI;
use Device::SerialPort;
use Time::HiRes qw(usleep);
use CGI;
$query=new CGI;
print [...]

Client asked me:

I am working on this new project involving testimonies. I already made a video of interviews that I roughly edited, but I want to extend the project “to the world”, digitally. So I thought that you could help me with the creation of a basic computer program with which people can answer [...]

I compared three similar pocket digital video recorders. My two simple evaluation criteria were “plays well with UVM basic web servers” and “plays well with iMovie.” Conclusions:

The Kodak ZX1 plays best with UVM servers: video clips can be uploaded direct from camera to server and viewed on the web with no post-processing (conversion, reformat, [...]

A long circuitous path, but in the end — sucess!
Started off with darwinports, but that only got us 0.6.8 (current as of this writing was 0.6.27).
Then tried Fink. That got us up to 0.6.13

Well, I started this post and never finished it.
Here’s what I though I had to do…
Needs GNU gettext tools from http://www.gnu.org/software/gettext/gettext.html

When last we left this project, most things were working except freetype/truetype text used in dynamic graphs and maps

 On paper, this seems easy. Just move 70 GB of images and a dozen database tables to a brand new mac, and we’re done.
Well, not quite…
Step 1: prepare the mac out of the box
This was mostly straight-forward; however, I did a couple of things a little different hoping it would minimize problems down the road.
 
First, [...]

It is pretty simple — still, it might be worth me writing some documentation.
And too simple, for some: I see two folders there from non-UVM “contributors.” Apparently, I had the default permissions set such that “Everyone” could create folders. I have rescinded that permission, so you may want to try creating yet another new test [...]

a client asks asked

1) Is it possible to link Adobe GoLive directly into the moveable type blogging system? There evidently is an API in golive, but I haven’t been able to find the correct URL to link to the pages within the blog.  It would make sense, for a security standpoint, to require people to [...]
