Mat Newman -- S-U-P-E-R Genius
Thu, Jun 10th 2010 3:23a Phil Salm It has been one of those days where it has been tiring being aligned with the underdog at work.nbsp; My propensity for loyally sticking with the underdog despite the odds I blame on growing up as a Green Bay Packers fans in the 1970s.nbsp; They stunk every year, yet we always rooted for them, even if we were jumping up in the middle of games and shouting at the players and coaches on TV as if that would make a difference.nbsp; Then, lo and behold, the Packer fortunes changed in the 1990's.nbsp; [read] Keywords: domino

Netflix on the Wii
Sun, May 23rd 2010 7:48p Phil Salm We have had the 1-movie Netflix subscription for some time. I have no complaints about the Netflix service--except that there is a critical week link in their model--me.nbsp; We're not good about watching the movie and getting it back into the mail on a regular basis. We're also not great about checking what new movies they have and adding them to our que. So (because of me) their services has not been as cost effective as it could be, and I had been thinking about dropping the service. br /br / [read] Keywords: blogger

I've also had inquiries about using Sage CRM and Sugar CRM with Domino. If you have experience with those and Domino, please share as well.br /br /T [read] Keywords: domino

That's one sexy boat anchor
Thu, May 20th 2010 3:28a Phil Salm There have been some complaints in the Yellowverse about the Eclipse client size and performance issues on older systems.nbsp; Truth is, this has never been an issue to me, particularly when compared to Outlook.nbsp; John Head has recently posted some basic performance comparisons of Notes and Outlook on a new laptop, and the results (though granted very limited), showed equivalent performance.br /br /To me, the capabilities that Eclipse brings to the Notes client are a significant competitive d [read] Keywords: lotus
