Day 1 Lotusphere - Business Development Day
Sun, Jan 15th 2012 6:16a Chris Connor Long day yesterday travelling from Glasgow via Dublin to Orlando - pretty smooth to be honest. The "new" immigration process conducted in Dublin meant that when I landed it was straight through to pick up bags - almost like an internal flight! Anyway "settled in" yesterday evening well. Great evening (although jet lag took its toll) I attempted to soldier on through to around midnight. Looking forward to the announcements and sessions of the next few days. Will be doing last minute p [read] Keywords: lotusphere

Resource Reservations advice - Wrestling with free time
Wed, Dec 14th 2011 3:10a Chris Connor Writing a booking front end using the extension library - the UI works really well and supports browser events for creation, deletion, moving etc.
The issue is "wrestling with free time". Not a lot of good information out there in terms of setting the various field values. In essence I am mailing a document to the room that is setup in the database. I then use the events to save updates / delete to the booking as required. This works well other than.....
The emails that are generated are not v [read] Keywords: database

Speaking at LS12 - my first Lotusphere session
Tue, Dec 6th 2011 6:08a Chris Connor Delighted to say that I will be presenting two sessions at this years Lotusphere after having attended 3 others in "read only mode". Bit nervous but very excited. It follows several months working up to this point putting in sessions in European LUGs (Denmark and UK) and also other local events in the UK. Going to be a lot of work between now and the 20th but hopefully it will be rewarding for me and more importantly for those who attend! Flights need to be booked (probably Aer Lingus - [read] Keywords: lotusphere

Web Enabled Resource Reservations
Mon, Oct 10th 2011 9:46a Chris Connor Currently evaluating some options around providing a custom web interface for Resource Reservations for booking rooms. The requirement also needs to build in some custom workflow / approval processes to provide for overriding bookings. Ideally I am looking for a nice Web user interface that is 1. Nice (Web 2.0 - I hate that expression) modern web experience 2. Works well on mobile devices 3. Built on XPages Ideally I would like this to be based around dojo - although there is nothing I c [read] Keywords: inotes

Simple Domino Internet Mail Monitoring
Fri, Oct 7th 2011 5:20a Chris Connor Trying to reach out for some help. Won't even try to pretend that I am an expert Domino Admin (last course I did was a system admin II back in roughly 1996/1997 - how far can things have changed anyway?). Cutting to the chase - I thought that this would be easy to do. Need to run adhoc queries on external internet emails sent such as. 1. How many mails were sent to domain @xyz.com 2. Which recpients in that domain 3. Which senders sent to that domain 4. How many mails were sent with th [read] Keywords: admin

XWork application server
Mon, Oct 3rd 2011 7:20a Chris Connor Thought I would write a few quick words as a consultant, developer and ISV using Domino / XPages and java / web technologies in general. Having sold applications for expenses / timesheets into organisations before I always viewed the market to be existing Domino customers - this opens things up somewhat moving forward. As mentioned before the "runs on lotus notes" badge that came with it has become an ever more difficult battle to fight. I am glad to say that now our applications run on a java [read] Keywords: domino

XPages futures....relational access?
Tue, Sep 13th 2011 12:53a Chris Connor Stephan Wissel raises and excellent point in his blog on what he thinks are options for the future of Domino and XPages with the inclusion of an in built relational data store. For many years now the NSF has been an excellent data structure but has had its known achillies heel which often led to poor performing applications or applications that did not scale. This led to issues around complex architectures, archiving, poor reporting outputs. For years we have asked the question "Will this work [read] Keywords: domino
