A Domino administrator client for Mac and Linux. Why I think its a bad idea 
Thu, Jan 8th 2009 6:49p Paul Mooney
Usually I would start a post that will
get me in trouble with a phrase similar to "put on flame proof jacket
and asbestos underpants" but in this case I really don't think its
worth the effort. I'm gonna get flamed but please give my post some
thought.
Recently, I have heard some mumbling
of a Mac/Linux Admin client for Lotus Notes. I don't know if this
is going to happen or not, but let me start by stating two very well known
facts.
1. I am a domino administrator.

I took most of Christmas off this year,

course, all this will be overshadowed by Lotusphere 2009, which is now

for that, and will publish my schedule for the week in the coming days.

New toy - Blackberry Bold

The short review... "It's not a toy,

I need your help! At the start of the Lotusphere session, I want
to have about 15 videos, all 5-10 seconds long. All different people.
For example, "Hi I'm {insert name}
and I hate end users"
or...
"Hi, I'm {insert name}. I'm
a developer... What the hell have users got to do with applications?"

Configuring the Domino server to send "message delayed" notifications to senders
Mon, Oct 13th 2008 5:29p Paul Mooney
In the second of the "Just stuff what
them Admin weenies shuld have on but don't kindof things" blog posts
about Domino 8, I thought I would mention the delayed notification feature.
Many large domino organisatiions consist
of many servers, spread out around the world. Even in the largest
of Domino domains I have worked on, a message from one end of the planet
to the other should hop through no more then 5-6 servers (depending on
architecture). The time required for a message to get [read] Keywords: admin

Setting forwarded email addresses to the name of the original sender in Domino
Sun, Oct 12th 2008 12:39p Paul Mooney
Ok, this is relatively old by ND8 standards,
but its one of those features I never ever mentioned here. Every
now and then (rarely these days) I have to give a training course. Tomorrow
it is on ND8 admin, and trying to separate what is out in 802 and what
is coming out in 8.5 is blurry, as we run beta kit all the time. Sidenote....
Associating features to versions is not easy for me... often forget what
came when.

Lazyweb - I need a new NAS box
Sun, Oct 12th 2008 12:00p Paul Mooney
I have a Buffalo Terastation for 2 years
now, and it has been on more or less all the time (exception holidays and
moving house). I'm starting to worry about it. Strange things
are going on and I think its time to move it on to pastures new and get
myself another one. The worrying thing about the NAS is how much
I would lose, if I lost everything on it. My important files are
on a Time Machine USB drive and the NAS. But I have over 300GB of
VM images on the Raid5 array on the NAS, an [read] Keywords: foundations

Its tough going for track managers.
We wade through every submission and try to find quality sessions

Gmail prevents you from sending emails when pissed

Time to rethink the Lotus Notes front end?
Tue, Oct 7th 2008 6:29p Paul Mooney
One of the biggest bones of contention
with Lotus Notes is the front end. In the beginning, we had the workspace,
and it was good! People loved it. Very very functional and
easy to use.
On the downside, it is not that pretty,
and still has not had a revamp in a long time, not to mention it was hard
to manage/control.
Then, in Notes 5, we got the bookmarks
bar, and some people loved it, and some people hated it. In Notes
8, we have the open dialog, which is XML base [read] Keywords: admin

Domino.Doc versus Quickr

Tomorrow, for the first time in years,
I have to demo Domino.Doc on a customer site. I only do this because
a *cough* large *cough* consultancy firm recommended this product to the
customer as it would fit their needs. After a few phone calls with
the customer, I talked about a native domino solution, or Quickr, and the
customer agrees that they want to look at these, but also need to see Domino.Doc
as this was the recommended product.
As far as I know, Domino.Doc went on

Back in 2004, I was lucky enough to get

months. Anyways, I took pmooney@gmail.com. And although it
is not a primary email address, I do use it for some services and have
mail redirected to my pmooneynet account. My name is common, and
online I share it with many others, including a

What does your work environment look like?
Wed, Oct 1st 2008 4:59p Paul Mooney
Chatting with Susan Bulloch and Jamie Magee,
we thought it would be fun to post our office space, where we do most of

I am not on site, I typically work from home.
My beloved Mac is tied to a 20Inch screen,

The new Lotusphere Show n Tell Track. A view from the inside (ish)

Last year Gabriella
Davis and I got talking about
the limitations of the Hands on sessions. Having presented one in
the past (on integration of portal with domino), it was frustrating for
the instructors and the delegates that we could only offer limited seats,
as the logistics of having laptops for hundreds of people, and managed
VMs were a veritable nightmare.
We discussed this with one of the organisers
of Lotusphere (Kristin Keene) and suggested an alternative session type,

What do YOU use Lotus Notes for?

When wrapping up UKLUG, before heading
for my flight, Carl Tyler and I got talking about Lotus Notes in the SMB
space. We share the common idea of what we think an SMB is (1-999
users). Discussing what Lotus Notes is used for there, we realised
that almost all BP's would qualify as SMB sites. So, looking at Bluewave/BE
Systems, here is what we use Lotus Notes/Domino for in production (keeping
dev servers and hosted servers out of the equation).

Re-Post. Reduce the size of pasted images in Notes considerably

At UKLUG, I mentioned this setting and
that Ed had already blogged it. A few people asked me to link to
this tip cause they want to implement it now. In the twitterverse,
it would be a "retweet", but what the hell.
As per Ed's
post, images pasted into Lotus
Notes client will be converted to jpg or gif, rather then bitmap, saving
buckets of space. It is a preference in 8.5 but pushing out the following
notes.ini to all clients (654 and onwards) will enable this feature:
