Obviously if there are things you immediately need to act on, you should still do them. But really, if you haven't gotten around to acting on those emails from a year (or two years, or three years...) ago, you just need to man up and let them go.
IMPORTANT: OpenLog and Disabling Lsi_Info (Friday, Mar 15)
Fri, Mar 15th 2013 7:20a Julian Robichaux This is something that has come up a few times in the past, and I (and other people) have advised about it before, but it certainly bears repeating:
If you are using OpenLog with LotusScript on a Domino server, please set NoLSIStackTrace=True
This is a global variable that determines whether or not the OpenLog code will use Lsi_info(14) to log LotusScript stack traces. IBM has found that the Lsi_Info function (which is part of the LotusScript language) can cause serious problems on the Domin [read] Keywords: agent

Determining Your Sametime Client ID (Thursday, Dec 20)
Thu, Dec 20th 2012 1:50p Julian Robichaux Upon setting up my Notes 9 Beta client and trying to connect to my test Sametime server, I got this message:
Since I am my own system administrator, I contacted myself. This led to some heated internal discussions, followed by the inevitable Google search.
Apparently this is a fairly well-known message to real-life Sametime admins and the usual remedy is to configure the VPS_ALLOWED_LOGIN_TYPES variable in the server's sametime.ini file using the appropriate Sametime Client ID. Unfortunate [read] Keywords: collaboration

Mac Font Foibles On Chrome (Saturday, Sep 29)
Sat, Sep 29th 2012 8:00a Julian Robichaux This has been a week of updates to my MacBook. I bought an SSD drive to replace my original (4 year old) hard drive, which meant that I had to finally update to OSX Lion to get TRIM support. This also meant that I got around to all sorts of minor software updates that I've been holding off on, since everything on my Mac has always worked just fine and I saw no need to update software that already worked. Don't mess with a good thing and all that.
One bit of weirdness I noticed after everythin [read] Keywords: application

Java APIs are NOT Copyrightable (Thursday, May 31)
Thu, May 31st 2012 9:23p Julian Robichaux Geek developer news: from today's Groklaw coverage of the Oracle vs. Google lawsuit, Java APIs are not copyrightable.
"So long as the specific code used to implement a method is different, anyone is free under the Copyright Act to write his or her own code to carry out exactly the same function or specification of any methods used in the Java API. It does not matter that the declaration or method header lines are identical. Under the rules of Java, they must be identical to declare a method s [read] Keywords: google

ExportMime Agent (Tuesday, May 29)
Tue, May 29th 2012 9:03p Julian Robichaux The "normal" way to view the raw version of an Internet email in your Lotus Notes client is to open the mail message in a tab, then choose the menu option View-Show-Page Source. This gives you all the mail headers, MIME parts, etc.
If you'd like to do this with an agent instead, here's some LotusScript that will give you the same sort of output:
ExportMime.lss
There's a function in there that writes the MIME boundaries a little differently than the rest of the MIME content. I wrote this [read] Keywords: agent

View Conference in DC, OpenSocial Presentation (Thursday, Apr 19)
Thu, Apr 19th 2012 7:20a Julian Robichaux If you haven't already registered for the AdminDev2012 conference in Washington, DC, you only have two more days before the $100 off early registration discount is gone. They've already posted the session list, and they've got some great topics (and great speakers) lined up.
I'll be delivering two sessions there: Java debugging, and an introduction to OpenSocial for developers. I'm really looking forward to both sessions, but especially the OpenSocial one. I did a lot of research and work [read] Keywords: email

Lotusphere Instagrams (Wednesday, Jan 25)
Wed, Jan 25th 2012 8:10a Julian Robichaux I didn't take many pictures (again) at Lotusphere this year, but the ones I did take were with my iPhone and published via Instagram and Twitter. None of my people pictures turned out very good, so it's all just "stuff" pictures. Luckily there's a whole Flickr stream being filled by people who had much better cameras (and camera skills) than me.

Wadsworth (Friday, Oct 28)
Fri, Oct 28th 2011 7:10a Julian Robichaux The Arrow and the Song
by Henry Wadsworth Longfellow
I shot an arrow into the air,
It fell to earth, I knew not where;
For, so swiftly it flew, the sight
Could not follow it in its flight.
I breathed a song into the air,
It fell to earth, I knew not where;
For who has sight so keen and strong,
That it can follow the flight of song?
Long, long afterward, in an oak
I found the arrow, still unbroke;
And the song, from beginning to end,
I found again in the heart of a friend.
Apropos of nothing [read] Keywords:
