Sun, May 12th 2013 9:13a Mat Newman IBM Notes 9 installs without any problems on both 12.10 and 13.04 x32 flavour. However, the x64 version has a few tricks that you need to repair before you can run the installation files. Over on Usablesoftware's blog there's a nice reference to the steps required to get IBM Notes 9 installed. With the fantastic assistance of Jason Hatch from IBM, I learned that the only thing required to get Notes 9 running on x64 was to remove some dependancies from the control file in the IBM supplied [read] Keywords: ibm

Getting Started with IBM Notes 9 - Part 2: Introducing the Masthead
Mon, Apr 8th 2013 5:43p Mat Newman With the introduction of IBM Notes 9, one of the major design goals was to implement the IBM "One UI" experience with an updated interface to the Notes client. Within the FRAMEWORK utilised by the OneUI design principals, major navigation elements are located across the top of the 'page'. Feedback supplied to IBM designers also indicated that many users 'lost' the quick links to their Personal Information Management (PIM) applications (Mail, Calendar, Contacts, To-Dos, etc) with the intro [read] Keywords: ibm

Tue, Mar 19th 2013 5:08p Mat Newman Another one from Twitter: Is there any way to show Birthdays and Anniversaries from my Lotus Notes personal Contacts database in my Lotus Notes Calendar" Natively: No. But that got me thinking.

Colour Coding an entire day in your Notes 9 calendar
Mon, Mar 18th 2013 6:02p Mat Newman One really nice feature relating to Calendar Colour Coding in IBM Notes 9 is related to All Day Events. When a user configures a category for colour-coding in their Notes 9 Calendar, and then applies it to an All Day Event, Notes 9 colour codes the background of that entire day in the calendar with an opaque variant of that colour: Figure 1: Notes 9 calendar background for a day changed with an All Day Event I really like this feature as it provides easy visual notification in a [read] Keywords: ibm
