Classes and Dojo are very cool
Tue, Aug 31st 2010 1:10p Bob Balfe Tonight I am looking for a way to make different presentation styles in the attachment viewer. I figure I would look into making the different presentations with JavaScript classes and with a little bit of inheritance to boot. Unfortunately JavaScript does not support classes very well and there are a thousand ways to accomplish this, just Google it and you will see. I of course chose Dojo to get this done because it was dead simple!

CouchDB scales, it’s not a slogan, its science!
Mon, Aug 30th 2010 12:40p Bob Balfe Check out this impressive write-up about CouchDb. Remember Dr. Cox at Lotusphere 2010 and the CERN project?
Metson says the learning curve for CouchDB is quite shallow. In fact, DMWM had a summer intern with some programming experience, but no experience in CouchDB, who was able to build a simple data quality evaluation application using the database. The only drawback, Metson says, is that you may need to do a lot of unlearning if you’re well versed in SQL. “The more you know Or [read] Keywords: lotus

The Cloud, is it a platform or just more of the same?
Fri, Aug 27th 2010 12:10p Bob Balfe I have been digging into the various “cloud” offerings on the net and trying to see if there is a common ground in this space and as usual it appears the usual players are making bets on their “cloud” offerings. When you start seeing sites like SalesForce.com, LinkedIn, Facebook, or API’s like Microsofts Azure, all using different technologies to provide applications within “their cloud” it quickly shows people are off in their own camps.

What is your web site worth?
Thu, Aug 26th 2010 12:10p Bob Balfe Just playing around tonight I noticed a section of a site I hit that showed the “value” of their site. This intrigued me because I wondered how they could possibly know that? So I scoured the net and looked for as many services as I could to see my sites value and it clearly looks like this is not a scientific approach by no means. My highest value is $46,000 and my lowest is $98, that’s useful…
$34,800.98

Poll: Do you or your customers develop or use applications on salesforce.com?
Thu, Aug 26th 2010 8:40a Bob Balfe I have been checking out developer.force.com this week and it is a pretty extensive cloud based solution for developing, deploying, and using applications in the cloud. I checked out their Eclipse based development videos and the development environment looks pretty comprehensive. I would like to hear if anyone who reads this blog has any real experiences they would like to share about it. I am also interested to hear how many of my readers have real exposure to SalesForce.com.

Why BrowserFunction is so cool
Mon, Aug 23rd 2010 10:10a Bob Balfe If you are familiar with the embedded browser in the Lotus products you may or may not have heard of BrowserFunction, most likely not! The problem is this class is not very well documented and was part of E4 and is scheduled for Eclipse 3.6. Notes 8.5.2 does however support this SWT class so you can begin to play with it once 8.5.2 is available.
Why is this so important? Well, just imagine, now you can completely communicate between Java and JavaScript using this. You can use the SWT Bro [read] Keywords: lotus

I think I hate GMail email threads and the reply history
Fri, Aug 20th 2010 12:10p Bob Balfe I am not sure if I am on this island alone but when there are a lot of responses in an email thread the GMail UI gets unbearable! I quickly get lost on where a reply is, to what section of the thread, etc. And navigating down the thread is just cumbersome. Unfortunately I have been using GMail for a couple of years and this has not gotten any better. Is there a way to not thread messages in this way? I did not see a setting. [read] Keywords: email
