      "body": "<i>Basic instructions for setting up an OpenLDAP instance using AWS, Ubuntu, OpenLDAP (slapd), Apache, and phpLDAPadmin</i>\n\nThis is a no-nonsense quick-start guide for a person with some basic familiarity and comfort with command-line usage and access to AWS. The Ubuntu instance is free, as is the rest of the software suggested here. This gets you a basic, vanilla OpenLDAP instance that you will be able to admin via a web browser. Additional security hardening and configuration will/may be necessary for your particular needs.\n\n<h3>Hardware</h3>\n\nSpin up an AWS EC2 Ubuntu instance.\n\n![](https://steemitimages.com/DQmVYku24v46Gk9FY4qwbzn48jYcayPmyJYqGpBYtoeTxRg/image.png)\n\n<h3>Server Prep</h3>\n\nSSH into your server and issue this command:\n\n<code>sudo apt-get update</code>\n\n<h3>Server Security</h3>\n\nEnable Port 80 and 389 for Apache and LDAP via the AWS console.\n\n![](https://steemitimages.com/DQmPjgsnemLhCCLDXZD7raX1YZgXdMqnD8fPip4YcaCG4hy/image.png)\n\n<h3>Install Apache</h3>\n\nExecute this command via SSH:\n\n<code>sudo apt-get install apache2</code>\n\nAccess your instance’s IP address via a web browser and verify the default Apache page is visible. You can find your instance’s address via the AWS console.\n\n<h3>Install LDAP Server & Utilities</h3>\n\nExecute this command via SSH:\n\n<code>sudo apt-get install slapd ldap-utils</code>\n\nYou will be prompted to enter a password, so do so.\n\n<h3>LDAP Configuration</h3>\n\nExecute this command via SSH:\n\n<code>sudo dpkg-reconfigure slapd</code>\n\nYou will be faced with anther set of prompts you must answer in order to configure OpenLDAP.\n\n<hr>\n<b>Omit OpenLDAP server configuration?</b>\n\nNo\n\n<b>DNS domain name?</b>\n\nexample.com\n\n<b>Organization name?</b>\n\nEXAMPLE\n\n<b>Administration Password?</b>\n\nSame as previous, or a new one\n\n<b>Database backend to use?</b>\n\nHDB\n\n<b>Remove the database when slapd is purged?</b>\n\nNo\n\n<b>Move old database?</b>\n\nYes\n\n<b>Allow LDAPv2 Protocol?</b>\n\nNo\n\n</hr>\n\n<h3>Install phpLDAPadmin Package</h3>\n\nExecute this command via SSH:\n\n<code>sudo apt-get install phpldapadmin</code>\n\n<h3>Configure phpLDAPadmin</h3>\n\nExecute this command via SSH:\n\n<code>sudo nano /etc/phpldapadmin/config.php</code>\n\nLook for the line that starts with:\n\n<code>$servers->setValue('server','name'</code>\n\nIn nano you can search for a string by typing CTRL-W, then the string, then ENTER. Your cursor will be placed on the correct line.\n\nThis line is a display name for your LDAP server, which the web interface uses for headers and messages about the server. Choose anything appropriate for your instance here:\n\n<code>$servers->setValue('server','name','My Sample LDAP Instance');</code>\n\nNext, move down to the $servers->setValue(‘server’,’base’ line. This config tells phpLDAPadmin what the root of the LDAP hierarchy is. This example is based on the assumption you typed in example.com when reconfiguring the slapd package.\n\n<code>$servers->setValue('server','base', array('dc=example,dc=com'));</code>\n\nNow find the login bind_id configuration line. Edit similarly:\n\n<code>$servers->setValue('login','bind_id','cn=admin,dc=example,dc=com');</code>\n\nThis option pre-populates the admin login details in the web interface. This is information we shouldn’t share if our phpLDAPadmin page is publicly accessible. You may want to later comment out this line with # and manually enter every time you login.\n\n<h3>Finished</h3>\n\nPoint your browser to http://your.ip.address.here/phpldapadmin\n\n![](https://steemitimages.com/DQmTP5FbYG4wWFYNKmte4KpibwS11vVsbR1biFsXJC3m9y3/image.png)\n\nClick login.\n\nYou should see the Login DN populated correctly with the values you just applied to config.php above.\n\nNow enter the password you entered during the LDAP configuration.\n\nAnd you’re done.\n\n![](https://steemitimages.com/DQmXFrCE56RpfXPtEgysEQp6K43r7Dmb4MnPHRHoSCSEfWz/image.png)",

When a network effect is present, the value of a product or service is dependent on the number of others using it. -<a href=\"https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Network_effect\">Wikipedia</a></blockquote>\n\n![](https://steemitimages.com/DQmeDkP9sxfT5e66NStDvgvbcqaRp9xhA4P9Diy2VFD5SNJ/image.png)\n\nBy now, most people are familiar with the cryptocurrency, Bitcoin, but few people know that this token currently only constitutes about 70% of the $20+ billion current market cap of all digital currencies. In addition to Bitcoin, there are probably hundreds of other currencies in circulation that offer incremental improvements over Bitcoin, but also exist to serve certain niche markets, such as use cases for purchasing video games online, sharing unused network processing power, and ways of compensating content publishers.\n\nMost of these currencies exist in their own ecosystem where value and opportunities for trade exist only for other holders of a given currency, and <a href=\"http://ethereum.stackexchange.com/questions/383/what-is-a-dapp\">decentralized applications (dapps)</a> that run on each platform, which accept and transfer a given currency. In order to trade, let’s say, <a href=\"https://coinmarketcap.com/currencies/ethereum/\">Ethereum</a> and <a href=\"https://coinmarketcap.com/currencies/bitcoin/\">Bitcoin</a>, or <a href=\"https://coinmarketcap.com/currencies/Pivx/\">PIVX</a> and <a href=\"https://coinmarketcap.com/currencies/steem/\">Steem</a>, it would require a person to open an account with an exchange where they’d have to go through the process of buying and selling a currency pair, having a transaction fee exacted, and having to absorb added risk of yet another trading account. They’d have to do this in addition to, and after, transferring real world fiat currency into something like Bitcoin or Ethereum. The process is slow, cumbersome, and not terribly user or consumer friendly.\n\nThe value of a currency is based upon the network effect, in addition to supply and demand dynamics. The network effect is a consequence of an economic relationship that thrives not on scarcity, but on abundance. For example, the value of a PC is firstly derived from scarcity. They do not spontaneously exist in nature. Someone has to mine minerals, which have to be processed into circuit boards and microprocessors, and the object must be shipped, etc. But the full value of a PC is not completely realized without the presence of and ability to interact with other computers via cheap and ubiquitous telecommunication links. To learn this, all one must do is unplug their desktop computer from the internet for a week and then observe what it is good for. It won’t be completely useless. You’d still be able to use a word processing program and print documents, but you wouldn’t be able to share those documents with colleagues or family. Thus the full value would not be attained.\n\nThe value of a cryptocurrency is also influenced by both scarcity and abundance, like a PC. Its value is certainly influenced by demand and supply, as any cryptocurrency trader could tell you that. But its full value can’t be realized unless there are opportunities and other people in the market willing to accept it as a measure of value. The abundance of users, and the network effect, provides the full and complete value.\n\nThe world of cryptocurrencies, in many ways, is a network of networks where the value of these somewhat isolated and constricted crypto ecosystems will probably never be fully realized until each isolated segment can seamlessly, cheaply, and securely interact without the manual intervention and cost associated with exchanges  —  and take full advantage of the network effect.\n\n![](https://steemitimages.com/DQmdKYVBYfwufUn9JGa7fNoCRWVvTnuRYaTSNYjBbhKDVZZ/image.png)\n\nA new crypto offering, <a href=\"https://ark.io/\">Ark</a>, promises such a thing with their SmartBridge technology, slated to be released in Q4 2017. The Ark roadmap includes many interesting milestones, which they promise will help speed consumer adoption of crypto and blockchain technology. That alone is a potential differentiator in the market. But one particularly interesting feature is Ark’s promise to break down trade barriers between various competing networks within the larger crypto network of networks.\n\n![](https://steemitimages.com/DQmeKqbRyHvoF1m3HqxpLS217512wR5pLgiHsUh8GXdJvam/image.png)\n\nWith their coming SmartBridge offering, I can imagine being able to rent a movie for some specific period of time and not having to worry about purchasing tokens or credits from a media provider, and then converting from one currency to another on an exchange, but simply being able to make my purchase with any digital currency. Ark strives to provide the platform and, as of now, unique technology to transfer value between blockchains, and to provide the necessary information for the execution of smart contracts to provision my access to the media, and provide additional services, such as proof of payment to all relevant parties. The <a href=\"https://ark.io/whitepaper/\">whitepaper</a> states the potential number of use cases is “limitless”. And, you know what? I agree.\n\nIt should be clear, this product has not yet been completed or released. But excitement is building, particularly after the successful completion of previous phases of their roadmap, which includes the recent release of their trade-able currency. There’s a lot of potential value here. The <a href=\"https://ark.io/#team\">team</a> behind this offering is solid. And the <a href=\"https://ark.io/#social\">community</a> is growing by leaps and bounds. I’m going to be keeping an eye on this project, and so should you.",

      "title": "Knowing What You Don’t Know: A Strategy for Upgrading Your UX Career",
      "body": "It was about five years ago, when thinking of ways to upgrade my career, that I first came upon the idea of teaching. One of the areas where I lacked solid experience was in both public speaking, presentation skills, and just generally talking about what I do when providing solutions within a user-centered design context as a full-stack developer. Teaching seemed like a good way to remedy these deficits on my résumé, but there were definitely some impediments to overcome before I could get started.\n\nThe seed was first planted by a few friends, who are teachers, who have suggested to me over the years that I would make a decent teacher. I’ve thought to myself, maybe so, but there was no way I could actually teach a programming class. Maybe one of my side interests — a history class perhaps? But not programming. After all, I had never actually taken a programming class before. So I was really out of my element and didn’t even know what a programming class would look like.\n\nI was at phase zero of learning a new skill: discovering what one does not know. The only way to move beyond that was to just dive right in and give myself the opportunity to learn the depths of what it was I did not know. I quickly moved on to letting myself be curious. And that I did: articles, videos, and online classes provided me with some insights into what I’d have to learn in order to become an actual programming instructor.\n\nAbout three months later, in the curiosity phase, I was talking to a colleague about my thoughts on teaching. I wasn’t interested in switching careers. I just wanted to teach a night class of some sort, maybe a weekend workshop, I told him. It was time to dip my toe in the water, I felt.\n\nThere were a lot of needs in the market place I could fill. I wasn’t going to start with teaching a 3-credit course on data structures at a university, not with an undergraduate degree in political science and no formal training in the field, but there are plenty of people out there wishing to learn how to manage a CMS instance for their business, or are themselves looking to learn the basics of web development. Surely, I could handle something like that, I told him.\n\nI had established for myself what exactly I did not know, did what I could to remedy that by letting myself be curious, and now I moved on to the next phase of upgrading my career: communicating with social and professional connectors who would be willing to help me with my aspirations.\n\nAs it turned out, that conversation lead to a phone call about a month later, because that’s the sort of thing that happens when you understand that your professional network is your greatest professional asset. My colleague was asked to teach a programming class himself a few weeks after our conversation, but he was uninterested, and he passed my name along.\n\nAnother phone call lead to a meeting at a co-working space in Philadelphia. A short week later I was standing in front of five adults who were interested in learning the fundamentals of HTML and CSS. I had reached yet another phase of learning a new skill: just doing it, even if failure is a possibility.\n\nI am not going to lie: I was terrified. I had to fill three hours of time on my first night. As a UX engineer, I very rarely have to speak in front of groups, and if I do, it is usually for about 2 or 3 minutes at a time, and it is usually with people I already know. By this point in my life I had spent precisely ZERO minutes teaching and now I was going to have to fill up a 180 minute class and do so in a credible manner.\n\nMy goal for the first evening was to simply not embarrass myself. The students filtered in and I waited for the second hand on the clock to reach 12, signifying the top of the hour, and then it was time to begin.\n\nI was paralyzed.\n\nSheer. Abject. Terror.\n\nI watched the second hand very slowly tick off time. Five seconds passed, then 10, then 15 seconds. I contemplated just walking out the door as those moments streamed by. I remember thinking, “just say something.”\n\nSo I started to speak. I introduced myself, which seemed like the most rational thing to do. I started to talk about my background and qualifications in the field. Then I settled into talking about the course syllabus. The first time I looked up at the clock nearly 20 minutes had passed. I hit the next bullet point on my lesson plan at the 45 minute mark, as I had planned, and we were working on a “Hello, world!” web page at minute 60. At the 180 minute mark, we wrapped up, and they were none-the-wiser that this had been my first time teaching a class — any class.\n\nGetting through that first class, and shepherding these students through the end of their final project, earned me something very important that I would be able to carry with me long-term: options.\n\nThe technical skills you have on your résumé are not just a set of a bullet points, they are options. Your colleagues are not just people you have a drink with now and then, or talk industry gossip with, they are options. Your career is not a set of events and past-tense experiences, your career is options.\n\nNow, I’m not going to say one shouldn’t plan in life. But you can’t get too hung up on concrete specific plans. Why? Because we all know that the universe has a funny way of denying us the ability to execute on plans. But the universe can’t take away options. Given the speed and nimbleness required to work in technology, I have never come to doubt this: certainty disappoints. And options are leverage. Use them.\n\nWhen an unsolicited phone call came six months later, I was able to say ‘yes’ to teaching a more advanced class in a continuing education program at an actual, honest-to-goodness university. A few years later, and I now have a couple hundred hours of teaching to my credit.\n\nAs a person who has re-invented himself a few times throughout his career, I have developed a strategy this has evolved into the present form when seeking to learn a new skill:\n\nPhase 0: Determine what you don’t know\nPhase 1: Be curious\nPhase 2: Let your professional associates help you\nPhase 3: Just do it\nPhase 4: Acquire Options\nPhase 5: Repeat\n\nThese experiences have expanded my speaking and presentation skills, as was the original intention. I now present my ideas and thoughts on user-centered design nationally and internationally. Having the confidence and skills to speak to researchers, as a practitioner, has opened up opportunities that I wasn’t even originally seeking, and has added to my circle of professional contacts. Options beget options.\n\nI still have no plans to switch careers. But I am not going to let these skills I have acquired go to waste, so I am looking to leverage what I have learned and extend my reach beyond the class room. I am excited about the possibility that online learning presents and I am wondering what options I may offer this niche, and what options this niche may offer me.\n\nBut, before I can start seeking new options, I have to ask myself one simple question: what don’t I know?",
