I learned a valuable lesson yesterday. I declared a Javascript variable called myarray and wanted to assign a list generated from a DbLookup. The good news is that this works 99%. There is just 1 small exception. If the DbLookup only returns 1 value, it then passes that value as a string and not an
XPages Java Tip: Be careful with static variables in your Classes
Wed, Jun 5th 2013 2:26a John Jardin I learned a very valuable lesson the other day when I relied on the Java Editor to recommend the setting of certain variables in my classes. This is a silly mistake that occurred and only cost me about 1.5 hours of troubleshooting, but hopefully others can learn from this and not make the same mistake.

TIP: What to try if IBM Notes 9 keeps crashing on Apple OSX
Tue, Apr 23rd 2013 12:36p John Jardin Here’s a quick tip for those who experience continuous crashing of IBM Notes 9 on OSX Mountain Lion.
Before installing IBM Notes 9 Beta on my MacBook Pro, I had Lotus Notes 8.5.3 running. I ran the IBM Notes 9 Beta install without uninstalling Notes 8.5.3. Every time I opened IBM Notes for the first time since starting my machine, it would crash and return an error report. Notes would only successfully open after 2-3 attempts. This happened both with the Beta as well as the official releas [read] Keywords: connections

Appcelerator Mobile Development – Chapter 1: Installing Titanium
Fri, Apr 12th 2013 12:54p John Jardin Hi everyone. Welcome to Chapter 1 of my Appcelerator Mobile Development Series. This is my second Blog Post for this series, my first post being the Prologue.
The one thing about Appcelerator that impressed me is how easy it is to get Titanium Studio installed and up and running. There are many tutorials on how to do this. Instead of me re-writing what’s already been written many times, I’ll just be referencing the Documentation I found most helpful and providing my own quick how-to. [read] Keywords: application

Tip: Understand how to compare values in JavaScript
Tue, Mar 19th 2013 11:51p John Jardin Hi everyone. In this post I want to point out a not so common way to compare variables and their values in JavaScript.
For many out there, the common way to compare 2 values is to use the == or != operators. If we look at the example below however, you’ll notice an interesting result that is returned:
Example:
var boolFalse = false;
var boolTrue = true;
var myString = “”;
if(boolFalse == 0) //This returns True
if(boolTrue == 1) //This returns True
if(myString == 0) //This retur [read] Keywords: javascript
My week at IBM Connect 2013
Fri, Feb 22nd 2013 8:12a John Jardin It’s been almost a month since arriving in Orlando for IBM Connect 2013. It amazes me how time flies. I thought I would just give my 2 cents worth on the week, for entertainment purposes.
SATURDAY. THE FIRST DAY
It was one of the toughest days I’ve experienced in a long time. After a 16 hour flight from Johannesburg, South Africa, I arrive in Atlanta around 5:00am. I spent almost 1.5 hours just trying to get through Customs and then had to spend another 30 minutes getting past securi [read] Keywords: ibm

TIP: Please Browser, do not track me.
Thu, Feb 21st 2013 8:09a John Jardin Hi All. Here’s a quick Tip regarding a certain Browser Setting that I recently became aware of:
As quoted by Mozilla:
Do Not Track is a step toward putting you in control of the way your information is collected and used online. Do Not Track is a feature in Firefox that allows you to let a website know you would like to opt-out of third-party tracking for purposes including behavioral advertising. It does this by transmitting a Do Not Track HTTP header every time your data is requested fro [read] Keywords: firefox
