What's going on with the IBM Sametime Branding?
Carl Tyler    

With Sametime 8.5.2, many of us believed IBM had a small bug in their code with the login panel not having any kind of graphics or colouring, as can be seen here:

I'm suprised IBM didn't add the text "This space has been intentionally left blank"

The same cleansing process has now taken place with Sametime Proxy, so this is a conscious design decision by someone.

After

Which do you think looks better?

Tue, Apr 30th 2013 8:50a   Carl Tyler
Like many others I will be in St. Louis next week, speaking at IamLUG, and Epilio are sponsoring the Monday night drinks. I decided not to do any really tough presentations on Sametime, but am instead doing an updated version of a presentation I first did at UKLUG "25 Years of Lotus and Still Going Strong" which contains lots of demos of old Lotus products. As usual, I'll probably have some old freebies to give away. If you've not already registered yourself, you better get o [read] Keywords: lotus sametime

Fat man walking...all for a good cause.

It's time for you to reach into your pockets and sponsor me. Perhaps you've used our free plug-ins, perhaps you've used our free Sametime admin tools, it's time to pay up. Now it's not like that crazy sponsorship thing where all I had to do was shave my head and paint my face blue, this one actually involves some serious preparation and training. We managed to raise close to $3,000 dollars for the head shave, so really hoping people will delve deep for this effort to smash that amo [read] Keywords: admin domino sametime

IBM Connect 2013 a.k.a. Lotusphere 2013
Wed, Jan 16th 2013 11:50a   Carl Tyler
OK, it's not called Lotusphere anymore, it's called IBM Connect 2013, and looking at the exhibitor list it's becoming a combo HR/formerly Lotus stuff/Social IBM trade show. I really don't have a problem with the name, and honestly, I have so much yellow s*&t around the house I'll be glad to see the back of it. I also don't have a problem with the show evolving and changing into something else. If it didn't it would just keep dying. I will be there, looking to embrace the new [read] Keywords: connections ibm lotus lotusphere sametime email websphere websphere portal

A word of warning to those thinking of leaving IBM
Mon, Dec 10th 2012 9:00a   Carl Tyler
Late on Friday night I got a call from a distraught friend, their daughter had been playing with their mobile phone, and whilst the child was playing with the phone, the device had prompted for a password, after their 5th attempt at entering a password the device reset itself to Factory settings. So what had happened? Well about 3 months ago this person was let got by IBM, prior to that, they had been using their own iPhone as their business phone, you know all that we're so tight s [read] Keywords: ibm iphone laptop mobile password security

Add some Bling to Sametime on your iOS device.
Mon, Oct 8th 2012 11:40a   Carl Tyler
Use Sametime on your iOS device? Want to add some bling to your messages? No problem, just install Emoji as an additional keyboard and you can send messages that contain all sorts of coloured emoticons. If the person on the receiving end is using a Windows device, they'll see them as black and white Emoji (Windows doesn't have coloured fonts), Mac devices will see the full colour. Why do this instead of using emoticons? Well with these you're not sending jpgs around your organi [read] Keywords: sametime mac mobile
