サーバ周りはこのあたり。

• LDAPサーバ slapdのインストール
• OpenLDAP 実験ページ
• LDAP Linux HOWTO

なぜLDAPを調べてみたかというとアドレス帳にLDAPを取り込むというのもあるのですが、どちらかというとプロファイルをLDAPサーバ上に置けないかなと思ったからなのです。昔のNetscapeにはローミングアクセスという機能があったらしいのですが、そんな感じのものが作れないかなと。しかし、前もってサーバ上で属性を記述しなくてはいけないなど簡単に使うという感じでもないですね。

■ Jolt

Jolt is a system programming language intended to be used anywhere one would use C++. It is as willing to get dirty in the name of performance. It is not willing to compromise in the name of compatibility with legacy languages. It is a language in which everything is an object, inheriting from Object, including the “primitive” types, and yet is capable of implementing many of these same types in itself. It includes features traditionally seen in dynamically-typed object-oriented languages such as Ruby, and even has some LISP features, yet does so in a way that preserves strong static typing and the performance benefits thereof.
