Welcome to

As I previously mentioned, last week at Lotusphere I ended up in the blogger BOF. Even though I had no intention of setting in there I’m quite happy I did. Just another one of those fortuitous situations were bumping into an old friend lead me into a situation I had no intention of entering. One [...]

I don’t know about you, but I keep my MacBook on a pretty tight sleep schedule to conserve battery power. Even when plugged in it is set to sleep after a period of inactivity. But, when I am deep in the middle of work I am constantly switching back and forth between multiple machines and [...]

Started the morning off with the IBM Lotus Notes for the Macintosh — Future Direction BOOM. It was a small group of maybe ten or so. It was mostly a “what do you want addedâ€? session. I couldn’t help mentioning my favorite topic, and it’s one that I always mention: the lack of the designer [...]

The morning was supposed to start off with BOF302 Blogging Best Practices, but I just could not get up this morning. So, I started with AD309 IBM Lotus Notes and Domino C-API. Okay, great session, but that is not the way to start the morning. Too much C too early in the morning is not [...]

The first day was quite good. I previously said all I need to say about the Opening General Session . Later in the day I attended a session on the future of the Domino Designer (AD301 IBM Lotus Domino Designer). This was an excellent session presented by Mark Jourdain and Maureen Leland. As I’m sure [...]

As I walked into the room I could feel a buzz of energy. The Orlando Symphony Orchestra was playing very Trans-Siberian Orchestra-ish hard rocking music while yellow, blue, and red lights flashed. That combined with the fog machines and the general enthusiasm of the crowd gave an immediate sense of elation and excitement. It was [...]

I was very much looking forward to this session, but speakers Thomas Bahn and Bernd Hort from Assonos were a no show (hope everything is okay and that they just forgot). Too bad really because I was looking forward to meeting them. Their ideas on OOP are quite interesting and was hoping to gleen something [...]

The Welcome Reception was quit nice, if not cold! The weather was in the low-50′s to upper-40′s and a steady wind was blowing making it feel just that much cooler. However, the food was decent but cold due to the wind despite the best efforts of the steam trays and the free drinks seemed to [...]
