Ubuntu 10.04 and Lotus Notes 8.5.2 working as expected
Darren Duke    

I mentioned on This Week In Lotus podcast last week that I would test Ubuntu 10.04 with the 8.5.2 gold client. I have good news....it works out of the gate, with no need to hack symbolic links or anything else. Even check boxes seem to show up OK!

There is a dependency that needs to be satisfied, just run this from the terminal to pick them up:

sudo aptitude install libgnomeprint2.2-0 libgnomeprintui2.2-0


but once those two UI packages are installed (either pre or post Notes install) all will be good in the world.

Also if you want to get DownloadDirector (a java applet) to work in Ubuntu take a look at this post over on Ubuntu Geek (but change the double quotes to single quotes!).

The (somewhat clothed) LS12 review
Mon, Jan 23rd 2012 9:58a   Darren Duke
I'll start backwards..... With the explosion of Social Media and knowing "where to be", Kimono's was really only fun the last night and the first night. In between it was just too packed. Time to find another hang out for mid week me thinks. And with everyone and their dog having a 5MP camera on their phone, it is no longer "what happens as LS, stays at LS". Party accordingly. The Blogger Open : my team won. So someone has really bad math skills!

Why you really need Windows 7 x64 and 8GB RAM on PC’s
Tue, Jan 3rd 2012 7:04a   Darren Duke
So here is a comparison of Windows 7 with 3GB vs 8GB RAM. The machine is a Lenovo Thinkpad T500. First up 3GB running Windows 7, 32 bit: This machine runs the usual. Notes 8.5.3 + Admin + DDE, Quickr, Skype, TweetDeck Office, vSphere Client, etc. It never drops below 70% used with my normal day to day operation. This same machine with 8GB and Windows 7, 64 bit (you need 64 bit to see more than 4GB RAM)....the penalty? You need to reinstall everything....but with Windows you're r [read] Keywords: admin notes quickr office skype

Snarky continuation of the annual tradition of tracing the previous years happenings......this time is, shock horror, 2011! With 2012 bearing down on us here's what took place in the last year (allegedly): I turned 40. So much of this stuff may be wrong as my memory starts to go the way of my eyesight. Although I've managed without Viagra so far..... The blog (or more correctly this blog) had far fewer posts than any other year.

Windows 7 tip that I accidentally stumbled upon - or RTFM I guess
Thu, Dec 15th 2011 3:15a   Darren Duke
See the screen shot below? See the red box I've highlighted? That is a button that will show the desktop. No. More. Constantly. Minimizing. Windows. I've always right clicked on the taskbar and picked the option, but I guess since Windows 7 (at least, never used Vista) is now a handy shortcut. [read] Keywords: desktop vista
