Q: Antivirus Options for Domino on 64-bit Windows?

08/28/2008

Category   

Symantec is apparently taking their time coming out with a version of their Domino antivirus tool that works on 64-bit Windows servers. So, I'm asking you my knowledgeable readers what other options exist to meet this requirement and what are any pros/cons/gotchas with those options.  

Thanks in advance!

ITWire: Lotus Crossword Puzzle (Spoiler Alert)

Turn away NOW if you don't want all the answers to this Lotus-specific crossword puzzle.

I had a little trouble with 23 Across (hint: it's not "Agent"), and 3 Down (don't ask), but otherwise I got everything else.  Wonder if this entitles me to some kind of certification?

ILUG Slides: Templates and SuperNTF

06/24/2008

Category    

ILUG2008Banner.pngOK, so I missed the "send your slides to Paul deadline" but at least I'm in good company. Little else can be said that hasn't been about the overall goodness that was the 2008 Irish Lotus User Group conference. From my own narrow perspective, I was honored to be part of that goodness, and found the experience rewarding on both a personal and professional level. As expected there was great technical content, and although I did skip more sessions than I'd like to prepare for my own sessions, I still managed to squeeze in some learning both in and out of sessions.  For example, I had a conversation with Thomas Schulte about his OpenNTF !!SYSTEM!! inventory management tool that yielded the unexpected bonus of a cool embedded table technique that I immediately put to use on a current project.

Among the highlights were my impromptu hosting of Ytria's "SpeedSponsoring" presentations and a last minute "You're doing SpeedGeeking" non-request from Paul, in which I reprieved my "Top 10 Things You Wish Your Boss Understood About IT" bit from last year. I also enjoyed being the token American getting grilled about the election etc. by a dinner-table full of my European friends (you know who you are )

"Yeah, yeah, whatever." I hear you saying, "where are your slides?!?"

Fine. They can be found on SlideShare here. Enjoy

Does Domino's Move User Utility Actually Work?

06/11/2008

A picture named M2

A friend of mine works at an organization that doesn't trust the built in "Move to Another Server" capability and is leaning toward building a custom process to handle user transfers. Is this mistrust misplaced? Does it depend on variables like client and server versions, replication topology, etc.? Are there any "gotchas" or special circumstances to consider?

Speaking at ILUG Tomorrow

06/03/2008

Category   

Arrived safe and sound in Dublin this morning and spent the day resting and reconnecting with old friends and making a few new ones.  A good day. Tomorrow things kick off with Bruce and I delivering an updated "Templates" presentation and Friday I show off some of the new SuperNTF goodies. I will be asking members of the audience to volunteer as "pre-release" beta testers, but if any non-ILUG-attending readers would like to help pound out bugs before the next public release, just send me a note.  

For those who are attending, you can probably find me at the Ytria booth when I'm not speaking or attending sessions.  Stop by to see some of the cool products that help me build SuperNTF (and generally stay sane), or just to say "hi".

Sleep time now...
