Moving Elsewhere

Just finished moving Notes and Domino stuff to a new blog elsewhere in wordpress.com as well. The sheer volume of such stuff, (at least what I intend to write about,) looks enough to clog this blog with perspectives from that direction alone so I decided to write on the said topic there.
Anyway I’ve included the [...]

Hard Copying

No matter how long you’ve been wrestling your brand of technology, something just tantalizingly time-consuming and frustrating pops up once in a while. Oftentimes it’s just something overlooked among the sea of possibilities today’s technology allows us to do.
As far as my four years of stay in the Notes/Domino development arena, I have my share [...]

Who Are the People in Your Neighborhood?

I used to feel some sort of loss when after participating in forums for quite a time, the community ends up with that mediocre scene which makes the more sensible ones leave the venue. This is especially true when the stay there proved worthwhile for quite sometime that when new members injected into the community, [...]

Marginal Insanity

Just remedied a recurring eyesore with a Lotus Notes database I’m working on. The culprit: displaying the form left-aligned when it is first displayed. More to the point, contents of the form are aligned 1″ from the left by default. What if the contents are aligned less than 0.75″ from the left, (the left edge [...]

Readers, Authors Dilemna

One common suck-up Notes developers experience early on in their careers is the loss of documents because of erroneous Readers fields. Readers and Authors fields in particular are very tricky and a lot of new developers experience hassles in addition to the one above.
Good thing Andre Guirard took time to come up with The Complete [...]

Notes/Domino-Stuff Elsewhere

I’ve been working with Notes and Domino for more than 4 years now. I’ve worked with R5, 6, 6.5 and 7 and in the course of going around with the Lotus technology, I’ve encountered some things from different Notes and Domino experts elsewhere.
One common limitation in starting out with Domino web development is the lack [...]

Blog of the Day: Codestore

I’ve been mentioning Jake’s site, Codestore, in at least two previous posts so I thought I would just as well feature him for the third Blog of the Day. This and the fact that I’ve ripped off taken two cool Lotus Notes icons from his previous blog posts actually, (including the one shown here.)
In [...]

Random Icons Anyone

While I was finding a “cool” icon for a database I was working with, I encountered an online article from Breaking Par Consulting. It was basically about changing the database icon of a Notes database programmatically and the method applies to either a scheduled or user-triggered approach. Both are also implemented in the sample there.
When [...]

Rich Text Frenzy

I’ve been a Notes/Domino Developer for almost 4 years now yet there are still some things in the hodgepodge of Notes/Domino development that makes me sit down and take a closer look at the situation. Sure there’s notes.net but just the same I’d still nudge the old cliché in saying I’m still not perfect.
Take for [...]
