  • XPages: Using the powerful Design Definition in custom controls

    Tommy Valand
    28 Jan 2010 | 8:36 am
    I've recently started using the Design Definition in my custom controls to save space on the XPages they are included in.When I first encountered this new (since Domino 8.5.1) feature, I believed it was a static feature. It turns out it's highly dynamic, and quite powerful. Immediately, when I read the "Providing illustration for your XPage custom controls" article from the Lotus Notes and Domino Application Development wiki, I thought of JSP. What reminded me of JSP was this little snippet:<%=this.viewName %>I've only tested if/else statements, as I know very little JSP/haven't had the…

  • XPages: Custom Control that can help prevent save conflicts

    Tommy Valand
    26 Jan 2010 | 9:26 am
    Today, I share with you a demoapp with a basic "has document been modified validation" (in lack of a better description) custom control, ccValidateModified. Just pop it into an XPage with a document data source, and it should in theory work out of the box. Plug and play.This is by no means an absolute protection against save conflicts. For applications that it's critical to avoid save conflicts, you need better protection.Below is a movie of the control in action. A document is open in Opera, Firefox and Internet Explorer. When the document is saved in one of the browsers, the "other…

  • New Orleans Saints - Super Bowl Champs!

    Rocky Oliver
    8 Feb 2010 | 7:19 am
    As I mentioned a couple of weeks ago, I have always loved the friendly rivalry between my Atlanta Falcons and the New Orleans Saints - we've always had a great time traveling to each other's cities and giving each other some good-natured ribbing when one would beat the other. Well, now the Saints have the ultimate bragging rights - they are the Super Bowl Champions. It doesn't get bigger than that. Congratulations, New Orleans Saints - and I don't imagine you're going to quit smiling for quite some time. (Now I just need my Falcons to win a Super Bowl so I can quit being so jealous!) Rock

    24 Jan 2010 | 2:31 pm
    Just wanted to drop a quick note to say CONGRATULATIONS SAINTS. Normally the "Aints" are the division rival of my favorite team, the Atlanta Falcons. The Saints joined the National Football League (NFL) the year after my Falcons, in 1967 - and they have been "fightin' like brothers" ever since. We started out together in the NFC West divison, and then we both moved to the NFC South when it was formed because our rivalry is so strong. Usually the Saints and Falcons have "up" and "down" years together, but we always manage to make our 2 games/year against each other a lot of fun. But the…

    I forgot to mention earlier this week that I have unveiled my "new look" while here at Lotusphere 2010. As I mentioned last month I have believed for some time that my hair had receded enough to warrant a change in my look, because I am not one of those who would try to hide the balding head I have so richly earned. I took the suggestions made by you to heart, along with my family, and decided on what had humorously become known as "Malkovich #2" (from the earlier post) - a short crop along with a beard. Well, without further delay, here is my new look as unveiled this week: I must say that…

    Let's pick up where our story left off last. I had begun my Tuesday, and was looking forward to the rest of the day... TUESDAY (AFTERNOON/EVENING) The lab on building Symphony plugins that I attended yesterday was pretty good, and Paul Bastide and his crew have done a good job with these labs. I really like the idea of bulding plugins for Symphony products, and that surprises me. I have always done integration between Notes and productivity suites (read: Lotus SmartSuite and MS Office) with a "Notes-centric" point-of-view. However as I saw the power of plugins in Symphony, it made me realize…

Many of the same players are there, but there are some new ones too. I stopped by Teamstudio's booth to say hi, and I love their tie-died shirts they're wearing (and giving away) this year. They also have a new product out, called Voyager, which is an app that allows you to surface any Notes/Domino app on a Blackberry (and I think any smartphone) with only a bit of code. I like it.

  • The My Widgets Sidebar Panel is a way to add and manage additional sidebar panels

    Mary Beth Raven
    7 Feb 2010 | 11:00 pm
    We introduced "My Widgets" in Notes 8.0.1. The Panel is hidden by default; you have to turn it on. (The Domino Admin can also control it using a desktop policy). Here is how to turn it on-- and if your organization has not deployed any kind of widget catalog, you can see if you can build your own or pull a few from either Open ntg or the Turtleweb partnership (72.51.41.44). I hope to post more about how to use public catalog and/or build your own in subsequent posts.

    Patient programmers (and others), We are making headway with the idea of allowing you to use image resources (e.g. .gif, .png) as database.. er.. application icons. These pretty icons would appear in the open list,  in the tabs, and of course, in the workspace chicklets. (YOU, or someone at your organization has to create said pretty new image resources and put them into your Notes application, of course.) Our next deadline is fast approaching and we're trying to fit all the work in to make this happen-- I cannot promise anything yet. My question for you today is:  If we got most of…

The panel menu is divided into 3 parts:  Actions specific to that panel (e.g. Specific to Calendar, or Activities or Feeds) (Yeah, the Day-at-a-Glance sidebar panel menu has a bug because one of the  "Calendar Footer" menu item specific to calendar got stuck at the bottom... I hope to be able to fix that) Actions generic to all panels (e.g. Manipulating the panel like opening it in a new window) Actions for showing or hiding specific sidebar panels and the state of the…

    A couple of weeks ago Abbott Laboratories in Chicago let go all of its Lotus Notes developers.  Interestingly enough, they kept, at least for now, all of the contractors. This may be a cost cutting measure.  But it sounds like another company making a strategic decision about the future of their Lotus Notes development efforts.  Sure, it will take some time to move existing Notes apps to SharePoint or some other technology.  And, sure, some apps may always remain in Notes.  But those apps will be in support and maintenance mode, with new development being shifted into some other…

    I've read a ton of blog postings on IBM Project Vulcan since Lotusphere a few weeks ago... perhaps because of the iterative thinking in the community, or time to reflect, Richard Schwartz's analysis seems to me to be a good read on the project:Five years ago, IBM introduced something with the potential to be quite revolutionary, but they saw that potential could not be realized on its own. They melded activity-centric collaboration into their Connections offering in order to tie a revolutionary concept into a larger framework of social collaboration first and foremost, and only secondarily…

  • List of IBM IT architects on Twitter

    Per Henrik Lausten
    18 Jan 2010 | 11:33 am
    I have created a Twitter list of IBM IT architects. If you are interested in following IBM IT architects on Twitter then follow this list. If you are an IBM IT architect and not on the list, then let me know on Twitter. Remember that when you follow a list, you do not follow every user on the list. So tweets from the users on the list will not show up in your main Twitter stream. You will have to visist the list to see the tweets. This makes lists a very useful way of keeping up with a group of people when you find it convenient. Related posts:IT architect accreditation accomplishedDana…

  • Getting a book to Lotusphere 2010

    Recently Chris Toohey held a contest/giveaway where the price was his review copy of the "Lotus Notes Domino 8: Upgrader's Guide: What's new in the latest Lotus Notes Domino Platform" book - courtesy of Packt Publishing. I have also received a review copy of the same book - and I admit: I never got to write my review of the book (but read the book with great interest). So I offered Chris my review copy as well so that his contest/giveaway could have two winners. The lucky winners are Chuckalicious and John James. Chris has already sent his review copy to Chuckalicious and I am going to…

  • Getting Things Done (GTD)

    I have recently read David Allens Getting Things Done with great interest and immediately saw the benefits from following the GTD method. A top priority for me was to find a suitable GTD tool that works across Windows, Mac and iPhone in order to be able to collect and capture my ideas and actions no matter where I am. I looked at the following tools: Text file with synchronization using tools like Dropbox GTD for Lotus Notes: either Eric Macks complete eProductivity suite or Brett Philps GTD template. Remember The Milk Toodledo Let me share my thoughts on these before I tell you what system I…

    At least when it comes to software development. Rather use "tasks/units of work left to do". Geek and poke sum it up nicely: Do you want to know more®? Read a book and sign the manifesto

  • The power adaptors in my "RoadWarrior Toolbox"

    Stephan H Wissel
    2 Feb 2010 | 5:23 pm
    I kissed a lot of frogs before I found the optimal travel power adaptor. Finally the Mitch & Mark travel adaptor available from the Krisshop made it. These are my criteria: Must support all countries (a no brainer) Must have an indicator light (places I go often have dead sockets) Must have a USB outlet for charging devices or powering one or the other gadget. Must not have any fragile pieces sticking out, so it can survive my chronical equipment mistreatment The Mitch & Mark fulfils all these criteria, all plugs retract for transport mode (I also carry a slim minimalistic adaptor…

  • New addition to my "RoadWarrior Toolbox" - GR1102

    Stephan H Wissel
    2 Feb 2010 | 5:03 pm
    I'm using a 3G modem for a while now. Works well as long as I'm in Singapore, once leaving it becomes an extortionist tool (30$ per MB is 10x more expensive than SMS and that's a rip off already). So typically I borrow the local modem from my colleagues in the country I visit, leaving me with guilt of depriving them from salvation in boring meetings. Not any more. I just added a Sapido GR1102 mobile hotspot to my toolbox. It's a bit bulky compared to dedicated devices like the Huawei E5 and even doesn't have 3G connectivity. However it has 2 USB ports where you can plug-in your off-the-mill…

  • When reality catches up with fiction

    Walking military vehicles were a novelty in the earlier Starwars® and I always wondered what are they good for other than stumble over rebel wires. Now Boston Dynamics is actually building them (and they are much smarter than me, so they know what they are good for): Boston Dynamics has a wide range of really kewl robots and it probably is fun to work there, even if some of the robots are outright creepy and really small.
