It has been two years since Flow, the advanced LotusScript logging engine, was released on OpenNTF.org. In those two years I have collected numerous feature requests and have implemented them (and some bug fixes) through-out five different beta releases of the engine. With no new bugs reported in almost a year I thought it was finally time to drop the Beta tag and go Gold, and what better day to do that than Yellow Day 2010? Please download it, use it, and let me know if you want any features added to it.
Yesterday I was one of the lucky early recipients of the iPhone 4. This was an upgrade from a 3GS, so not a major upgrade (or so I thought), but it had enough new features to make me want to upgrade now.
After unpacking the device and performing the first sync (an hour long process to restore the 3GS’s over 11GB of photos, videos, and apps), the first thing that really struck me was the display. The Retina Display, one of the main factors in my decision to get the iPhone 4, is everything that Apple claims it to be. When I first powered up my original iPhone I was wowed by the wonderful display. The Retina Display blows it away. Yesterday on Twitter I likened it to going from VHS to Blu-ray. If you have been around technology long enough, you will remember the first time you saw printed output from a 300dpi laser printer. If you are like me, you were amazed by the crispness of the print out. Seeing this display not unlike that. There truly is no pixelation. The text is amazingly smooth. Video looks nearly HD quality.

Here is a nice little tip on how to very quickly get to the instantiation point of any variable, subroutine, function, or custom class. I have created the tip as a video because it is simply easier to understand how this works when you see it in action.
Several weeks ago an issue was brought to my attention where a user had stopped receiving mail and those sending to this user were reporting delivery failures. The delivery failures stated that mail could not be delivered to ” AT @DOMAIN”. There is a space before and after ‘AT’ and ‘DOMAIN’ is instead the name of the Domino domain.
A quick look at the Person document revealed that the Forwarding Address field had been populated with ” AT “. The document had last been modified late the previous evening by the AdminP server. A look into admin4.nsf revealed that at the time the document had been modified AdminP had updated the client information. So, obviously, AdminP had something to do with the issue, right? Not exactly.
After working with IBM for weeks on this issue, and after seeing it happen in another Domino domain in a completely separate company, the issue turned out to be related to both a new change and an old bug. (more…)
Update: added How Do I Temporarily Get The Applications View Out Of The Way section (March 6, 2010)
The release of Notes 8.5.1 brought with it a significant change to the Domino Designer client. For those admins out there (or anyone else, really) who do not have the benefit of an in-house development team to bounce questions off of, you may find yourself lost or at least somewhat confused the first time you open Designer 8.5.1. If you are totally unfamiliar with the Designer 8.5.1 client, you may want to start with the Lotus Notes and Domino 8.5 Deployment Guide’s App Dev UI section for a quick overview of the layout.
Because I am writing this with Domino administrators in mind, I am going to bypass all of the new features and instead focus on how to get you up and running by tackling the most common problems I have seen admins overcome with this new Designer client. (more…)
There are two camps of Mac users: those that think you don’t have to defrag a Mac and those that know better. I am now firmly in the “those that know better” camp.
I do not go easy on my Mac. I download, install, and subsequently delete a lot of data. I also use Parallels and create snapshots which tends to also eat up disk space. I run several versions of Notes and Domino servers via Parallels. My Mac usually runs for at least 12 hours per day if not more. Many times it will run all night running test scripts. I may not be the test case for the average user, but I can certainly be the average test case for almost any IT professional. (more…)
“IBM Lotus Notes and Domino 8.5.1, The Upgrader’s Guide” is the latest Domino related title to come out of Packt Publishing. The book promises to be your guide enabling you to quickly upgrade your existing Domino infrastructure and to assist you in leveraging the newest features of Notes and Domino 8.5.1. For the most part this promise is kept, but there are caveats.
The book begins with an overview of features in the Notes client. Though the title would lead you to believe that the book focuses on version 8.5.1, in fact the book is riddled with references to 8.0 and 8.5. I assume it was the authors intent to help the reader mentally segregate the features into a timeline of their inclusion into the product, however a simple table in an appendix would have conveyed this information just as well while providing the dual purpose of serving as a quick lookup reference. Given that the title of the book is specific to the 8.5.1 release it would have been a smoother read if all features were discussed in aggregate. (more…)
By rather popular demand I have re-done the Lotus Notes wallpaper from yesterday and made it fit several screen resolutions (800 x 600, 1024 x 768, 1280 x 800, 1280 x 960, 1400 x 1050, 1440 x 900, 1600 x 1200, 1680 x 1050, 1920 x 1200, and of course 320 x 480 for the iPhone). I have also included similar wallpapers for Quickr and Symphony. All three are available in color and grayscale versions. I had to make the logo’s a bit smaller for the Quickr and Symphony versions because they just looked better that way. I’m calling this the Lotus Eclipse Collection. Get it?
In order to get the iPhone versions on to your phone, surf to this site in Safari on your iPhone and click the link for the wallpaper that you want. Once it is displayed, tap and hold the image until the menu displays. Choose Save Image. The image is now available in your Photos and can be added as wallpaper just like any other image.
