Unfortunately I have family that uses Lotus Notes and because they know I work for Lotus they think I am their personal technical support.  Specifically my cousin has been complaining about this feature for years so I wanted to see who else thinks this would be a good idea.  The behavior is, once you do a spell check, save the email as draft and go back to that email later you should not have to re-check the words you already have signed off on.

Online webinars from Lotus Education Mon, Mar 15th 2010 2:50p Bob Balfe Read Ed’s post about the up and coming Lotus Education webinars and the agenda’s look great. I saw the XPages and Composite Applications sessions at Lotusphere and I am sure the webinar’s will be more than worth the cost of these sessions. Interestingly, Hunters course outline looks very similar to the labs I am giving at Germany later this week. I think showing how to integrate Java, SWT, XPages and container components into a single application will be some good educa [read] Keywords: domino ibm lotus lotusphere notes sametime xpages application applications eclipse java

Do you want XPage components in the side bar? Fri, Mar 12th 2010 8:00a Bob Balfe Looks like I lost two posts when they moved my blog between servers! I am going to post these back here. For this specific one, if you answered prior that you would like this can you please do it again. There was a request for what customers would want such a thing. One of the biggest wins for Lotus Notes at Lotusphere was the fact that XPages can run in the 8.5.1 client. You can, in that release, also have XPages as components in composite applications. This also means you can have [read] Keywords: lotus lotusphere notes xpages applications community eclipse integration widget widgets

Lotus Traveler is the killer app for the iPhone Wed, Mar 10th 2010 6:00p Bob Balfe And its not even an app! So I have had the iPhone for about 6 months now and I have to say it is an amazing device. Everyone I show the iPhone to is amazed with the different things it can do and the applications it can run. The biggest surprises I get are when I explain, and sometimes show them, how my calendar, email, and contacts all sync with the iPhone and that its not really even software its just another account. I have also updated my Notes contacts many times and it reaches the de [read] Keywords: lotus notes traveler applications email iphone

Book Review: Learning Dojo Wed, Mar 10th 2010 12:10a Bob Balfe Learning Dojo by Peter Svensson Review: I really enjoyed this book. It hit on a lot of topics that kind of surprised me. I starting reading many sections in the book and thought “wow, what a great idea for a technical book”. It could have been something small like the depth of the introduction chapters or something larger like the chapter on AOL and Googls Content Delivery Network (CDN). I guess my point is, this book was an excellent tool and resource to learn Dojo - it cove [read] Keywords: dojo javascript network

Cheaper moving from Exchange to Domino… Mon, Mar 8th 2010 2:10p Bob Balfe After reading the article Greg posted I saw the comments at the bottom and wanted to pass them on from Karen. I am not sure who Karen is but this is a pretty nice comment about their choice and the comments about Microsofts service consultants. Article link is here. from Karen: I wanted to share that we are in the middle of a migration from Exchange to Lotus Domino. I am amazed of the difference in cost. The Lotus product licenses are so much easier to understand and are significantly cheaper. [read] Keywords: domino lotus exchange exchange planetlotus planetlotus.org

That is a I just completed the first draft of labs I will be directing at the Deutsche Notes User Group (DNUG) hosted by SIT GmbH. I wrote about it last month in this entry. I will start with a couple of introductory presentations about [read] Keywords: expeditor lotus lotusphere notes notes client xpages application applications community database eclipse java linking openntf web 2.0 xml

Messing around with Dojo and reading a new book! Tue, Feb 23rd 2010 11:30p Bob Balfe After attending Dojo.connect() conference I decided to review a couple of more books for Packt Publishing. The first one I am reviewing is Learning Dojo by Peter Svensson. I am only 6 chapters in and I am finding the book to be extremely helpful. It goes at what I consider a slow and in-depth pace - which is exactly what I look for when I am learning something new. I figured I would start to put some of the stuff to practice so I created a videos section on my balfes.net site. I st [read] Keywords: css dojo javascript

Google Translate and whether it is really needed? Fri, Feb 19th 2010 7:11p Bob Balfe So I added Google Translate to my site. Most of my hits are from the United States, many European countries, China, and India. It would be interesting to hear whether or not this is needed on my site. It would be nice if I could figure out whether or not it would be used. Does anyone have any idea how I could track that? technorati tags: blog, Google, translate [read] Keywords: google

Why SWT/Qt when you have the Lotus platform? Thu, Feb 18th 2010 8:30p Bob Balfe I just read this interesting post about a project for an SWT version based on Qt. The project argues it is for styling purposes. What is interesting is the Lotus platform (Lotus Expeditor) which is what Lotus Notes 8.x is based on has had SWidgets since day one. We even tried to get SWidgets put back into the Eclipse platform but with no success. You can play with the Lotus Expeditor platform and the toolkit for free.
