Controlling a Lotus Symphony Presentation from your iPhone/iPod Touch
Tue, Feb 9th 2010 7:25a Andy Dennis With Keynote and Powerpoint you can control your presentations from your iPhone or an iPod Touch, but how do you do this with Lotus Symphony ? It's pretty simple all you need to do is install the Logitech Touch Mouse application, on your PC (or Mac), install the Logitech Touch Mouse Application from the Apple App Store onto your iPhone or iPod Touch and create a peer to peer (or adhoc) wireless network between your iPhone/iPod Touch and your Desktop.

Microsoft Exchange 2010 Storage vs Lotus Domino 8.5.x
Mon, Dec 14th 2009 9:55a Andy Dennis It's being reported that Microsoft are dropping the Single Instance Storage component that was added to Exchange 2005. This feature enabled only a single instance of an attachment to be stored in the mail store. The Microsoft Exchange 2010 server store will allow for the native compression of all attachments. If you an Exchange Administrator, I'd suggest you keep a close eye on the releases and upgrade notes for Exchange 2010 and particularly the potential increase in disk space for your e [read] Keywords: admin

I’ve been virtualized
Fri, Dec 4th 2009 7:56a Peter Smith To be more exact, I have just become a VMWare Certified Professional (VCP4). For an out and out Lotus techie this may seem a departure from the Yellow straight and narrow, but it actually plays well into the kind of Domino infrastructure projects we are currently engaged on. Our major theme when working with customers on Domino upgrades to 8/8.5 and now 8.5.1, is to use the process as an opportunity to enhance their environment. This can be done through deploying new features as part of the u [read] Keywords: domino

Cloud conversations can have silver linings
Sat, Nov 21st 2009 4:05p Peter Smith We recently had a meeting with a customer to talk about the future of their mail systems - half the company are on Domino and the rest on various Exchange systems (not integrated). "The Cloud" was flagged as an area of interest because fundamentally the business want to shift away from the cost and overhead of maintaining their various distributed thick client mail systems, and free up time and money to focus on real business issues. The key point for me in the conversation was that in conte [read] Keywords: domino

DAOS and clusters in 8.5.1
Tue, Nov 3rd 2009 8:55a Peter Smith I was reading through DAOS information to work out how best to restore Quickr documents (that live in DAOS enabled places) and stumbled across this gem from an IBM Engineering open mic call. The question was around TSM but the answer was really interesing.. "A: Clustermates are independent with DAOS configured per server. One of the benefits of the 8.5.1 release is to have the servers participate in DAOS. You do not need any special software to do a production backup in these circumstances. B [read] Keywords: ibm

They are not selected by default which seems silly, anyway, it can probably be set by a policy somewhere. Go into Preferences->Spell Check and select the options under Instant Corrections.

Quickr content on your Blackberry or iPhone
Thu, Oct 22nd 2009 5:00p Andy Dennis Here at LAN 2 LAN one of our developers has cracked it with a web based application, that allows you to get at your Quickr Content from your handheld device. Adam Foster (uber developer!) has created a Domino Application which sits on your Lotus Domino Quickr Server and renders the content down to your handheld device, which is either a Blackberry or iPhone. So if your handheld operating system supports the attachment, you can download it and view it on your device. So that means rig [read] Keywords: document

Lotus Domino Quickr allow a subroom to have multiple parents
Thu, Oct 22nd 2009 9:00a Adam Foster We were tweaking a presentation for our Disaster / Incident solution Congrego and the salesman asked me to move 2 of the sub rooms to be under another sub room. Instead of deleting the sub rooms and recreating them and adding the themes and data, I copied the connection document from the original parent's System/Subrooms view into the new parent Place's System/Subrooms view. Hey presto suddenly the sub rooms were accessible from two different Lotus Quickr parent places. When you "Go up" fr [read] Keywords: document

Lotus Notes 8.51 Designer - Right Click "Open Declaration" functionality
Mon, Oct 19th 2009 12:01p Adam Foster Lotus Notes 8.51 free designer is more Eclipse like. It has a right click menu item "Open Declaration". Left click or focus on a function name, then this nifty right click functionality zooms you to where the function or constant or subroutine is defined. Nice. Would be nicer if you could open it in a new window... In fact you cannot open a design element in another new window, which is a bit annoying, unless I am missing something...?

BES and Lotus Domino 8.5.1 (Blackberry Administration)
Fri, Oct 16th 2009 10:13a Andy Dennis Is Lotus Domino 8.5.1 a supported platform for the BES 4.0/4.1/5.0 Server? Checking our internal support Matrix yields the following results: 4.0 = no 4.1 = no 5.0 = no although it will be in future updates to BES5.0 and 4.1.6 onwards (release dates to be confirmed) Lotus Domino 8.5.0 base IS supported for BES 5.0.0.. So, you shouldn't upgrade your BES Server to Lotus Domino 8.5.1. yet !!! [read] Keywords: administration
