fantastic new single from Alexa Wilkinson
Wed, Jul 21st 2010 5:20p Tim Tripcony My favorite singer/songwriter, Alexa Wilkinson has just released a great new single: "Waiting". You should totally check it out. Also, one of my favorite songs of hers, "Grey Skies", is included on an incredible compilation album, "1% for the Planet - The Music, Vol. 1". 41 tracks for $9.99. I'm a little fuzzy on the math, but if I'm not mistaken, that's, like, 24 cents a song.Oh, and she's touring with Lelia Broussard August 11 - 28.

keeping things in perspective
Wed, Jul 7th 2010 7:13p Tim Tripcony Because Domino Designer is now based on Eclipse, we suddenly have these wonderful things called "perspectives": basically, that term just means the sum total of all the interface components you see. In the case of Designer, that includes (among others) the applications navigator, control and data palettes, and panes for properties, events and problems. But (again, because Designer is now based on Eclipse) we can finally customize what Designer looks like: we can move stuff around, remove what we [read] Keywords: domino

the power of the extensibility API
Thu, Jul 1st 2010 3:38a Tim Tripcony Disclaimer: this post discusses features planned for version 8.5.2 of Lotus Notes and Domino. Version 8.5.2 has not yet been officially released. Ergo, what I'm about to describe to you may well vanish when the real thing arrives... if it does, I will be seriously tempted to continue using the beta version indefinitely. That is how powerful I consider the focus of this post to be. You might well be wondering what could possibly temper my tendency to upgrade to each bleeding edge version the very [read] Keywords: domino

characteristics of an App Store
Mon, Jun 28th 2010 2:52a Tim Tripcony Prior to the original release of the iPhone, I never heard any suggestion that Notes should have an App Store. The merits of OpenNTF, solutions catalog, "Nifty 50", sure... but nobody was calling any of these (or other theoretical entities) an "App Store" until the Apple App Store made apps the reason people buy an iPhone - not the fact that it's a phone. So I'm assuming that the success of that App Store is what has inspired some to believe that having an App Store for Notes would be A Good Thi [read] Keywords: admin

Rolling your own authentication for REST API's - Epilogue
Fri, Jun 25th 2010 2:10a Tim Tripcony In summary, let's recap some of the most unconventional characteristics of this approach to authentication: We're storing a hashed representation of the user's password directly within the application, but do not store their user ID within the same record. Despite not storing the user ID in the record that stores their password, we can rapidly retrieve the password when we need to because the UNID for that record adheres to a format that is both predictable and inexpensive to calculate.

GUEST BLOG: Getting Serious about Domino as an App Dev Platform
Sun, Jun 20th 2010 7:19p Nathan T Freeman This guest post from Nathan
Freeman appears here because the comments on Nathan's blog are broken,
and this post will definitely elicit some comments. Hope you enjoy.
The last two weeks have seen a great
deal of conversation about Notes & Domino as application platforms.
I'm not going to rehash with a long series of links to other posts,
but if you're unfamiliar with the conversation, check out http://edbrill.com

speaking at MWLUG
Thu, Jun 17th 2010 4:16p Tim Tripcony I just received a notice that my abstract was accepted, so I will be presenting at this year's MWLUG:
XPages: The Evolution of Possible
XPages do not just provide a new way of developing the same Notes/Domino applications we always have; instead, they unlock a whole new realm of possibility, allowing us to include features in our applications that were previously considered difficult... if not impossible. In this session we will explore five pillars of functionality that will not merely ma [read] Keywords: domino

quick tip: binding fields dynamically in a custom control
Mon, Jun 14th 2010 1:26p Tim Tripcony One issue I've occasionally seen cause others problems when developing in XPages is binding an edit control (i.e. input, textarea) to a dynamically named field. The archetypal example is a repeat control where you want to display a bunch of "line items", allowing users to add a new set of fields representing each item instead of having to add an entirely new document. As it turns out, this is surprisingly easy: just wrap the field in a custom control.
Define a custom property of the contr [read] Keywords: ibm

working on a lengthy article... how do you want it?
Wed, Jun 9th 2010 3:36a Tim Tripcony Chris Toohey (or, as I affectionately call him, "Winnie the Tooh") and I have long dreamed of creating true REST API's for Domino applications. In fact, some of you may remember that Yellowcast was originally created to establish an auditory documentary of our explorations in that area. And yes, to the many who have asked us (and even publicly called us out for not yet doing so), some new episodes are on the drawing board... we just haven't had time yet to record them. Some of you may also remem [read] Keywords: domino

tic-tac-toe for XPages
Mon, Apr 26th 2010 2:22a Tim Tripcony For various reasons, I spent part of my Sunday evening writing a 2-player tic-tac-toe game engine for XPages... click here to give it a try (per the usual, log in using your BleedYellow credentials).
Since it's 2-player, you might want to first arrange for a partner to log in at the same time; otherwise, you'll just start a game and sit there waiting indefinitely for someone to join you.
It's late and I'm sleepy, so I'm not going to bother posting the source database tonight, but if there's an [read] Keywords: xpages bleedyellow

refreshing more than one target ID in a single partial refresh event
Thu, Apr 8th 2010 12:27a Tim Tripcony Since several folks have now asked me the same question, I'll go ahead and ask it here... and then answer it: Q: Is it possible to refresh more than one target ID during the same server-side event? A: Yes. Yes it is. Assuming you're now running version 8.5.1 of Domino or above (such as a DP code drop or managed beta of 8.5.2), there are three properties available to every server-side event that were not originally available in 8.5.0:onStartonCompleteonErrorEach of these properties is a String, [read] Keywords: agent
