I was just in the XPages jumpstart with
Maureen Leland and Maire Hehoe and someone asked the question when XPages
would be in the Notes Client and she said that she JUST got confirmation
that it would go in with 8.5.1. She said that we'd finally be able
to develop once for both the web and notes client!!!
I'm beyond excited about XPages in general
and the fact that the client will come next. But of course she didn't
say when.....
Great job to Maureen,Maire and everyone
else that's involved!!!!
I'll try and review the presentation
later.

I wanted to blog about this when it
happened, but quite frankly it's more an admin topic then development so
I quickly got distracted with something and forgot all about it. Whoops!
A couple of weeks ago we had a problem
with receiving e-mail from the Internet. Very quickly the problem
became we couldn't receive ANY e-mail from the outside. Of course
we didn't think it's a Notes problem at first and had the networking guys
come in and check the firewall and all that. I mean really, Notes
just works right? They better get back in to fix whatever it was
that they broke. ;)
By now I forget some (most) of the details,
but it came down to the fact that we were using some remote blacklists
as part of our SPAM defense. And ONE of those lists went bad or dead
or had some kind of problem. But we eventually removed all the blacklists
and mail came back immediately. Then we put them back one at a time
and found the offender.
I thought it was odd that this could
happen and might be worth a mention if anyone else ever had a weird e-mailing
problem.

I saw Mary Beth's recent post on the
NotesDesignBlog
regarding the User Experience Guidelines, and immediately downloaded the
PDF to check it out. But as I started to read it I saw something
that just kinda bothered me a little...

Teamstudio has just released version
24 of it's tools. I don't have the complete set of tools but I do
have the big 4 - Analyzer, CIAO, Delta and Configurator.
In addition to being Notes 8 compatible
there's a couple of really interesting features that I'm going to be playing
with.
CIAO now has a new "Branch Manager".
I've been looking for something to do this for a long time. I
hate having a template checked out because you're working on big updates
and now they want something small to go in pretty quick. You don't
want to promote the big changes but you need to get the minor one in. You
can't update the production database of course, so now you might have to
spin off a new template. We'll now CIAO is supposed to be able to
handle this automatically and merge the changes between different "branches"
off the main template.
Another interesting feature of CIAO
is the ability to link it to a custom issue tracking database. This
might provide better documentation tracking. And forcing check ins
and outs to have an issue adds a good control that should keep the auditors.
I'll be talking more about this once
I get a chance to play with it more.

There a webcast coming up talking about
Domino on the iSeries from the folks at COMMON. They're going to discuss
the lack of DB2 on the platform as well as some of the additional lotus
products.

This is my attempt at a blog. I
hope to talk about mostly development issues from a Notes/Domino purist.
What's a purist? It's someone
who only gets to use Notes and a little bit of Domino. Sametime?
I've heard of it.... QUICKR? Something that Rob Novak does....
Connections? Something to make when flying through Charlotte...
Anyway... as you can tell I'm
unfortunately not exposed to to much outside of Notes because my company
has no need or no desire for other technologies...
Luckily for me, there's a lot to do
that's inside Notes.
