XPages: Dojo vs. Jquery... and JQuery is for n00bs
Thu, Aug 18th 2011 10:43a Erik Brooks No, I didn't title this blog post to insult those that use JQuery. I simply wanted to share this article, which I found funny (though there are some truths inside.)
WARNING: Foul language ahead.

People are making many XPages and custom controls, and that's a Very Good Thing. But some of these incorporate Dojo while some use JQuery. I want to re-emphasize my recommendation that those of us doing XPage development cont [read] Keywords: domino

"XPages are not modern"
Thu, Jul 14th 2011 8:28a Erik Brooks I keep hearing a small set of individuals saying this:
"XPages aren't modern. They're an older version of JSF."
That statement is partially true. The current versions of JSF are (from Wikipedia):
JSF 2.1 (2010-10-22) — Current version. Second maintenance release of 2.0. Only very minor amount of spec changes.[1][2]
JSF 2.0 (2009-06-28) — Major release for ease of use, enhanced functionality, and performance. Coincides with Java EE 6.

IBM's Most Twittering Software Division...
Wed, Mar 2nd 2011 7:10p Erik Brooks According to my extremely rough research based on this list here... The IBM Lotus accounts have more followers than any of the other brands except for Cognos. More than Websphere, DB2, Rational, and Tivoli. And thanks to Ed I'd wager that no other IBM software division emits tweets more often, or from as high up in the organization. :-) [read] Keywords: ibm

NSF conflicts: Nasty bug with $ConflictAction="3" (Merge/no conflicts)
Mon, Feb 21st 2011 1:56a Erik Brooks We uncovered a nasty bug recently with $ConflictAction="3". This field is applied to documents if your form is set to the replication conflict setting of "Merge/No Conflicts." The worst part about this bug is that a "pull only" replication can actually change data on the server you're pulling from. Which should never be possible.. The problem is best illustrated by example: 1. Create a doc on server A with $ConflictAction="3" and a field called "Text" with some text in it. [read] Keywords: ibm

DDE on Mac
Tue, Feb 15th 2011 6:03a Erik Brooks "Why IBM needs DDE on Mac" is being discussed on Bill's blog: http://www.billmal.com/billmal/billmal.nsf/dx/02142011062912PMWMAVJT.htm?opendocument&comments#anc1 My understanding of Mac marketshare is that it is currently at ~10%. But that is irrelevant. What is relevant is this quote from David (The Notes Guy In Seattle): "...I was part of the college day sponsored by GBS and while I was there at least a third of the college student attendees could not participate in the pre-L [read] Keywords: ibm
