<content:encoded><![CDATA[  <br />Just saw this on CNN's website: http://tinyurl.com/5jwqd6 <br /> <br />Really!! &nbsp;Did anyone really have fun doing those tests growing up and want to re-live those moments in PE class? Apparently someone, though I know my kids now don't look forward to it, and it doesn't sound like the test has changed substantially since I was in school. &nbsp;You probably remember it (if you went to school in the US after Kennedy was President) as the time when you had to do as many push-ups, sit-ups, pull-ups, and climb a pole, and run a mile in PE class. &nbsp;Then you were given points for how many, how fast, or if you could do it at all.  <br /> <br />I can understand the desire to show how "fit" you are, but I'm guessing only the really athletic would actually take the test (or at least they'd be the only ones to admit they took it, and tell you their score!) &nbsp;Sadly, there's no patch or other award for those that take it, just a way to go on-line and see how you've done against the other people that have taken it and been happy enough to submit their scores. <br /> <br />Perhaps it will be an optional event at Lotusphere? &nbsp;Or maybe we should have an alternative "fitness" test that involves skills we all know exist in the community - how many 12-ounce curls, sit and squat in session rooms, how fast you can run from Swan 5-6 to the Dolphin banquet hall at lunch, how much weight you can carry during the exhibit hall event while holding a beverage. &nbsp;Any other events you'd like to offer up? <br /> <br />  ]]></content:encoded>

<content:encoded><![CDATA[ In a tweet a couple of weeks ago, I mentioned that <a href="http://www.bleedyellow.com/blogs/lotusnut/" title="Chris Whisonant">Chris W</a> and I were testing out creating Quickr Entry places, and how much fun admins have creating XML. To create an entry place you use a qptool command that requires either individual user email addresses, or you can use an XML file to create places in batch mode. &nbsp;Gee, seems like fun, manually creating and XML file that looks like (adapted from the Quickr InfoCenter): <br /> <br /> <img  src="http://www.dominothoughts.com/domthoughts/domthoughts.nsf/dx/xmlfile.png/$file/xmlfile.png" alt="xmlfile.png"/> <br /> <br /> There had to be an easier way, so I tweeted that I'd look into it. After all, laziness is the mother of invention. Well, last week when I was in Reno, instead of playing blackjack or craps, I set out to create a script to create the XML file. After a little trial and error, I've got two files, one to take all the entries in the Domino directory and pulls their email addresses into an XML file, and the other pulls selected entries in. &nbsp;Import them into either your Domino directory if you want to run the either agent, and then you can run the agent. <br /> <br /> The resulting XML file can then be uploaded to the Quickr server and used with the qptool command to create the places. Check out the <a href="http://publib.boulder.ibm.com/infocenter/lqkrhelp/v8r0/topic/com.ibm.lotus.quickr.dominov81.doc/config/qp_inst_entry_create_places.html" title="Create Lotus Quickr Entry Places">Quickr InfoCenter article</a> for the details.<br /> <br /> Hope you find this useful! &nbsp;I'm sure there's someone that will improve it, and if so, please post any updates here so we can all share. <br /> <br /> <a href="http://www.dominothoughts.com/domthoughts/domthoughts.nsf/dx/GenerateXMLAll.lss/$file/GenerateXMLAll.lss" title="GenerateXMLAll.lss"/>GenerateXMLAll.lss</a> <br /> <a href="http://www.dominothoughts.com/domthoughts/domthoughts.nsf/dx/GenerateXMLSelected.lss/$file/GenerateXMLSelected.lss" title="GenerateXMLSelected.lss"/>GenerateXMLSelected.lss</a>   ]]></content:encoded>

<content:encoded><![CDATA[ Once again, our local Great Strides walk for Cystic Fibrosis is fast approaching. &nbsp;My son, Andrew, was diagnosed with CF when he was 4 and has been an extremely healthy CF patient. &nbsp;Last October, he was hospitalized for the first time to have mucus blockage cleared from his sinuses. His surgeon estimated his blockage was 85%, and he was amazed he wasn't complaining more about sinus pain. He spent a week in the hospital getting a "CF tune-up" and had a PICC line inserted in his arm so he could have IV drugs three times a day for a few weeks once he got home. &nbsp;There was plenty of Xbox playing during that month! <br /> <br />This annual event is the major fund raising event for the CF Foundation and the funds raised are used to help fund research towards finding a cure for CF. This year we are especially positive due to recent results from a phase 2 trial of a &nbsp;compound that targets the basic defect that causes CF. &nbsp;This drug was developed in partnership between the CF Foundation and Vertex Pharmaceutical. &nbsp;Due to the relatively small size of the CF population (about 30K in the US), funds from other sources are difficult to come by, so the CF Foundation has taken the lead and been very creative in finding ways to get research done to find a cure. <br /> <br />The CF Foundation is an organization that makes the most of every dollar donated, more than 90 cents of each dollar goes to research. I invite you to make a donation using the link on the right side of my home page, of if you're reading via a feed, go <a href="http://www.cff.org/great_strides/dsp_donationpage.cfm?walkid=5281&amp;iduser=3457" title="http://www.cff.org/Great_Strides/dsp_DonationPage.cfm?walkid=5281&amp;idUser=3457">here</a>. &nbsp;Thanks for every donation! <br /> <br />  ]]></content:encoded>

<content:encoded><![CDATA[ As my slightly cryptic tweets over the past week may have led you to believe, I've left my former employer for a new gig. &nbsp;On Monday, I started with Lotus911 as a consultant for the "left coast". &nbsp;I'm in Kennesaw, GA currently, at the "worldwide headquarters," spending the next couple of weeks getting to know everyone and getting settled in my new role. &nbsp;And what is that new role? &nbsp;I'm going to be the Lotus911 presence in the "southwest" and other parts, working with clients in the region as well as helping provide expanded support for the rest of the country when the office in Georgia closes. &nbsp; <br /> <br />It's a great opportunity that I couldn't pass up, and I'm very excited to be here finally. &nbsp;The last two weeks was a lot of head down time, trying to tie up loose ends and transferring as much of what I know about the former employer's Domino and eLearning infrastructure as I could. This week is getting into assisting customers and learning about the Lotus911 way of doing things. Been so busy, I didn't have time to blog about it until this morning. <br /> <br />Once I finish my stay here, I'll be working at the home office with clients remotely, and travelling to clients as needed. &nbsp;So, if you're a Lotus customer in the "southwestern" US, or anywhere in the West, drop me a line if you need assistance. &nbsp;And, as you might expect, clients in Hawaii looking for on-site help are always welcome! :-) ]]></content:encoded>

<content:encoded><![CDATA[ We've been seeing the DWA error "Sorry, but we can't process your request" in DWA lately with Firefox users. &nbsp;Hadn't been able to pinpoint it, and didn't really have the need to research it too much, but saw a <a href="http://www-1.ibm.com/support/docview.wss?uid=swg21289700">new technote</a> today that gives a workaround. &nbsp;The issue is caused by a missing line in the httpd.conf file used by the HTTP server. Basically, if you're at DWA 6 or 7, you can create a response header rule to have the JAR file that's causing the error be seen as the proper MIME type by Firefox. &nbsp;If you're using DWA 8, the file has moved so you must edit the httpd.conf file. <br /> <br />Here's a screenshot of what the rule would look like: <br /><img  src="http://www.dominothoughts.com/domthoughts/domthoughts.nsf/dx/webrule.png/$file/webrule.png" alt="webrule.png"/> ]]></content:encoded>

<content:encoded><![CDATA[ With the spring forward of DST this weekend in the US, it's a good time to check and make sure no new DST-uncompliant devices or calendars have gotten into your environment. &nbsp;This is very easy with new Blackberry and other handheld devices. &nbsp;It's possible that a new device came into service without the DST patch, or a newer "fixed" version of the OS, and your user hasn't noticed it yet. &nbsp;(I know - never in your environment! But play along, anyway...) <br /> <br /> As a reminder, the Blackberry DSTquery program is available at the <a href=http://www.blackberry.com/select/dst2007/index.shtml><span style="text-decoration:underline">Blackberry DST site</span></a>. Just ignore the "2007" bit. &nbsp;You can download the query tool which will check your BES servers to see if any devices served by them are in need of the update. After that, it's either an easy re-deployment of the existing DST upgrade patch via a software configuration, or a quick email to the user to go to <a href=http://www.blackberry.com/dst2007><span style="text-decoration:underline">http://www.blackberry.com/dst2007</span></a> and install the patch.<br /> <br /> While you're at it, why not check your Notes calendars for DST issues again. &nbsp;You can run the Lotus provided agents in a report mode to see if anything's changed. &nbsp;An ounce of prevention... <br /> <br /> Check out <a href="http://www.dominothoughts.com/domthoughts/domthoughts.nsf/dx/../archive?openview&amp;title=dst&amp;type=cat&amp;cat=dst&amp;sort=i"><span style="text-decoration:underline">my articles on DST</span></a> from last year, and you'll get some links to other good content on the subject from last year. &nbsp;Here's hoping Congress doesn't change it all back at the end of the year!  ]]></content:encoded>

<content:encoded><![CDATA[ A couple of interesting items out of the call this morning, moderated by <a href=http://notesgoddess.net/NotesGoddess/NotesGoddess.nsf>Susan</a>. &nbsp;Overall, good questions, and actually had a couple of mine asked before I got on.  <br /> <ul> <li>During a question about the RnRMgr task (Domino 7 and higher), Terry at Level 2 Support commented that while the RnRMgr task can be run in a cluster, you only want to run the task on no more than 2 servers in the cluster, even if there are 3+ servers. &nbsp;The actual question was regarding where to run the task, and the answer was only on the server where the RnR database is residing. &nbsp;You don't need to run it on your mail servers, etc. </li><li>A question of interoperability with Outlook/Exchange brought up a discussion of iCal support and how Outlook handles repeating meetings. &nbsp;According to Bruce (I think), Outlook handles changes to repeat meetings by changing either the single instance, or all instances. &nbsp;There is no option for "this and all previous" or "this and all future." &nbsp;I didn't realize that, and this begins to explain better why reschedules don't work that well coming from Outlook accounts. &nbsp;Generally, only the first instance gets updated.</li></ul> <br />If you missed this morning's call, there's another one tonight &nbsp;9:00 PM Wednesday, February 13, 2008 for a duration of 1 hour (8:00 PM Central, 7:00 PM Mountain, 6:00 PM Pacific)<br /> <br /> Conference telephone numbers:<br /> Participants, Toll: &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; 719-325-2220<br /> Participants, Toll free: &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;888-523-1225 <br />Confirmation Code: 1433086 ]]></content:encoded>

<content:encoded><![CDATA[ We've got a couple of migrations in the works here now. &nbsp;Both are Exchange to Notes migrations (yeah!). We've got one domain setup on the MS Connector for Notes in order to sync directories, and we're using SMTP to route mail (fidelity and redundancy). In setting up the second domain with the connector, it defaults to wanting to use the same foreign domain "Exchange" and there doesn't appear to be a way to change it...easily.  <br /> <br />We're using the connector for Exchange 2003 and I don't want to have to Exchange domains using the same foreign domain, for obvious reasons. I'm wondering if anyone's found a way to edit that setting. &nbsp;I don't have visibility to the other domain's Exchange server, and their admin isn't sure how to change that setting either, and doesn't appear to want to start registry diving to find where the setting is stored. The almighty Google returned a command that only appears to work with the Exchange 2007 "transporter" suite, and the command isn't found in the 2003 connector.  <br /> <br />Any ideas welcome!  ]]></content:encoded>

<content:encoded><![CDATA[ We recently acquired a company that runs Exchange. One of the business requirements was that we get the ability to route email and directory lookup against each other's directories setup in time for "day one." &nbsp;Looking at the quick options, we downloaded the MS Connector for Lotus Notes for Exchange 2003. &nbsp;Armed with that and the information in the Redbook "<a href="http://publib-b.boulder.ibm.com/redbooks.nsf/redbookabstracts/sg247777.html?open" title="IBM Redbooks">Migrating from Exchange 2000/2003 to Lotus Notes and Domino 7</a>" (quite good, btw) we set out to configure the connector. &nbsp;First off, both sides identified that the connector left a single point of failure for routing mail (also pointed out in the redbook). This wasn't an option. &nbsp;We wanted to route over SMTP because we had redundancy on both sides for this - and that message fidelity is better. &nbsp;The connector works on one Exchange server - not something I wanted to rely on. &nbsp;Searching the MS Technet site, we came across <a href="http://support.microsoft.com/kb/303724" title="MS Technet">an article</a> on how to change the connector tables to use the SMTP address and not the foreign domains. &nbsp;Very helpful. <br /> <br />The bulk of the work falls on the Exchange side, installing a Notes client, setting up the connector configurations, etc. &nbsp;On the Notes side, you register an ID, create a foreign domain, setup some mailboxes (if using the connector for routing) and then wait for the Exchange guy to finish. <br />  <br />There's also a calendar connector for doing freetime lookups between systems. One side effect of using the SMTP routing instead of the mail connector appears to be that the freetime lookup doesn't work with SMTP routing, so we're missing that. &nbsp;Aside from this, the directory sync works and routing is working fine. &nbsp;If only they could configure their servers to convert calendar invites into a workable document like Domino does with iCal attachments. &nbsp;They have to go through a few steps to get to the meeting invite.  <br /> <br />Now that this domain is setup, it's on to the next domain...  ]]></content:encoded>

<content:encoded><![CDATA[ Went back to work this morning and went to login to my PC and I was greeted with the slow man's version of Windows login. &nbsp;After 20-30 minutes, I was at the "Loading your personal settings" box. Couldn't get any further. Evidently, the PC knew I spent all last week with my MacBook, and it wasn't happy. I was happy - very happy. &nbsp;Battery life was great. &nbsp;It booted quickly and login was even quicker. Typing is easy, and everything worked. &nbsp;But the hard drive on the PC wasn't happy and so had started to go bad (actually it started before I left, but sitting idle all week evidently was too much). &nbsp;So a new PC will arrive tomorrow and I'll spend the day getting everything I need installed. &nbsp;Luckily, I was able to get the drive setup as a secondary drive on another PC and got the stuff I really need copied off. &nbsp;Everything but my Firefox profile - crashed Explorer everytime I tried to copy it. I'll have to try another way to get my bookmarks from that drive.  ]]></content:encoded>

<content:encoded><![CDATA[ The Monday after Lotusphere. One of the harder days to go back to work. &nbsp;First, the emails that didn't get returned last week need to be filtered and replied to or delegated. Maybe some of the senders will read the out of office message and actually call the helpdesk instead of waiting for a response from me telling them to do that. &nbsp;At least I can hope for that. &nbsp;Then there's the questions from the other admins here, and the boss. &nbsp;Need time to put everything into a cohesive message that we can use to outline a plan for the year.  <br /> <br />Yes - I want to move on 8.0.1 when it comes out, but...we need to make sure it'll run on the older PCs. No, the basic config isn't an alternative that's really being looked at.  <br />Yes - I want to use the Quickr File Sharing in 8.1, but we need to see how it "really" works, as well as get our AD functionality fixed. &nbsp; <br />Yes - Connections looks cool, but how might it fit in with our company/department objectives and needs. &nbsp; <br />Yes - we are migrating users from Exchange (!) to Notes, but how do we get their Sharepoint data migrated, or easily accessible from Notes. &nbsp;Searching "the internets" comes up with lots of tools for going the other way, but haven't found anything that provides something in the direction we're going. Maybe we wait until the Quickr Content Integrator to pull that into a Lotus format. <br /> <br />So, I guess that's the initial reaction to Lotusphere. &nbsp;Lots of great announcements and possibilities. Now it's time to determine how they fit within the plans at your company.  ]]></content:encoded>

<content:encoded><![CDATA[ Downloaded the beta for Notes 8.5 Monday night and installed it yesterday. &nbsp;Had a little problem on the install when it came to installing the Expeditor files. &nbsp;My machine is setup with my account as a "regular user" and another admin account. &nbsp;Normally, I get prompted to enter the Admin user account and password, and the install works. &nbsp;I was prompted during the install for the login info, but the Expeditor files didn't copy over. Looking at the folder after the failed install, there were no files inside the folder. The error referred to some "postflight expeditor script". &nbsp;Luckily, being at Lotusphere, I went to the Developer lab and got some help. &nbsp;An easy, rename of the existing Notes app, deletion of the "receipt files" (need to find out more about these) and giving my account full rights, and the install worked like a charm. &nbsp;Something to keep in mind. <br /> <br /> So far, I like it...a lot. Loads quickly, looks good, and seems to have "fixed" an issue I have with the Domino Blog template. &nbsp;In Windows, clicking the "Add Link" action adds a URL link for HTML, but when I save the document it becomes a hotspot for the entire paragraph. &nbsp;That is working fine on the Mac client now. One thing that isn't working properly for me is the calendar colors, everything is "white". &nbsp;Didn't find anything in the release notes, so I'll post it in the forum (when I find it), and maybe stop by the lab if they're still there. The Day at a glance colors are there, however. Right-click actions using the trackpad don't work, and the drag actions don't get followed on a horizontal basis, like other Mac apps.<br /> <br /> Sitting in Rob Novak/Victor Krantz's session now.   ]]></content:encoded>
