LDAP Searches With Microsoft Excel

Sometime back,  there was a request from one of my colleagues to pull information from our LDAP server on a list of users.

I do have a Perl script to get this information. But, I was looking for an easier “self-service” solution.

Searching google, I found this cool little OpenSource utility here: http://excelldapsearch.sourceforge.net/

It is basically a Excel Macro that adds up as a plugin in Excel. Quite simple to use and very useful.

Give it a try and let me know if it helps you.

Guitar Chords:One,U2

Here is the guitar chords for another favorite song of mine. I became a huge U2 and Bono fan after listening to this song.

This is quite easy to play and can be played with simple open chords.

Strumming pattern goes like this: |D D U D| |U D U D|

There is a small delay between the first and second down (D) stroke. Enjoy!

Dsus2 – xx0230

Fmaj7 – xx3210

Guitar Chords:Dil toh bacha hai ji,Ishqiya

I have been learning to play guitar for some years now. Here is my attempt to decode the chords of a new song.

“Dil toh bacha hai ji” from the movie Ishqiya is a good slow song. Reminds me of the old Rajkapoor movie songs.

Rahat Fateh Ali Khan’s voice has made this song even better.

Now, to play this song on guitar you should know to play the Bar Chords.

Strumming pattern: |DD  -  DD   -|DD  – DD  -|
