A renewed National Championship
Mon, Sep 12th 2011 7:05a Scott Good This year has been one of limited racing for me but this past Thursday, Friday and Sunday were the NASA National Championships at Mid-Ohio.
As the trophy above (on the right) shows, I was fortunate enough to win my second National Championship (the first was in 2008) in spite of spinning off the track early and having to start all over from the back of the field.

Finally! My book is "done"
Mon, Jul 25th 2011 9:42a Scott Good After something like six years of dragging it out, I've finally finished the first draft of my first novel, The Clause.
At 100,000 words, it shouldn't have taken this long. Really, I've probably written that much in magazine articles in that same time but, somehow, this has been an on-again, off-again passion. Over the first six months of this year, however, I finally got more serious about it and, since February, wrote the final 50,000 words.
Doesn't say a lot for my production over the [read] Keywords:

Lotusphere 2011 presentations
Sat, Feb 12th 2011 6:22a Scott Good Lotusphere 2011 was better than ever. If you weren't there, I'm sorry for you as we saw the many technologies which have been introduced over the last few years mature and congeal into a sensible, usable whole.
My contribution to the event was a series of presentations. If you are interested in copies of the final versions presented, they are attached below.

Great racing video
Wed, Dec 15th 2010 9:20a Scott Good Thanks to Jim Child for pointing me to this excellent racing video. It's Scott Goodyear driving a 944 in the Rothman's Cup races back in the day. He starts 21st, last, because of qualifying issues but does not stay there long. Great racing. Thanks, Jim! [read] Keywords: application

Hello again,
In my last Winter letter, I talked about driving more smoothly and how

Video games, anyone?
Tue, Sep 14th 2010 7:43a Scott Good I got an e-mail yesterday from John Zemon of A Part Above, one of my racing sponsors. It seems that another of his customers, Seth Pogacich, had taken it upon himself to recreate my race car in Forza Motorsports, the video game. Here's a sample:
It's missing the wing (Seth says he can't get it to let him add it), but damn that looks amazingly good. Right down to all the right sponsor and contingency stickers.
Thanks, Seth, for sending these. You made my day! [read] Keywords:

Modal XPages SSJS dialogs the easy way
Thu, Aug 12th 2010 10:14a Scott Good p.inlineCode {margin-left: 30px; color: blue;}
XPages brings a lot of really interesting technology and capabilities to the table for web (and for that matter, Notes) developers. In the middle of all that goodness, however, are some really basic things that are shockingly hard to do. For instance, modal dialogs from Server-Side JavaScript (SSJS).
From the research I've done, there is probably, possibly, pretty sure, MAYBE a way to do modal dialogs with Dojo. Well, sure, of course there's a [read] Keywords: admin
