London Calling
Wed, Feb 8th 2012 10:11a Garrett Wolthuis The Year of Awesome is off to a great start. I made the resolution to run 366 miles in this calendar year. (I’m a little behind where I should be with that but that’s for another post.) I spent 10 days in Florida reconnecting with friends and colleagues, and occasionally learning something. I rode a [...] [read] Keywords:

Hogs and Geoducks
Thu, Jan 26th 2012 2:11p Garrett Wolthuis It was the best of times, the worst of times… it was Lotusphere. This was my sixth Lotusphere and in some ways it was the best of them but in other, thankfully fewer, ways it was a train wreck. Hog Ride Saturday morning after some confusion on bike rentals we ended up hitting the road [...] [read] Keywords: lotusphere

Getcher Motor Runnin’
Tue, Dec 27th 2011 11:09a Garrett Wolthuis With Lotusphere less than three weeks away most of us are rushing around picking sessions, submitting slides, and stocking up on Barocca. Veteran ‘Spherians have most likely read Andy Donaldson’s Guide to Lotusphere. If you haven’t, or even if you have, go (re)read up on it. There’s a lot of good information in there… like [...] [read] Keywords: lotusphere

Who Uses Lotus Notes?
Wed, Oct 26th 2011 8:09a Garrett Wolthuis Well, it’s that time of year again. It seems like every 12 to 18 months buzz starts filtering down from on high about “moving away from Notes”. Usually this means they’re focusing on Mico$oft and usually once they start figuring out just how many servers they’d need along with training costs and man hours they [...] [read] Keywords: lotus

Lotus Notes 8.5.2 & IE9
Thu, May 26th 2011 9:08a Garrett Wolthuis So I have this user, on Windows 7, who upgraded his Internet Explorer from version 8 to 9. Then he noticed that he was unable to click on a weblink in his Lotus Notes 8.5.2 (Standard) client and have it open IE9. Naturally it opens the embedded Notes browser when that preference is changed but [...] [read] Keywords: lotus

The Lotusphere That Was
Tue, Feb 8th 2011 2:12p Garrett Wolthuis Five days after Lotusphere has ended and my head is still swimming. There was so much good content and so many wonderful experiences that I’m having trouble sorting it all out into a cohesive format. This was my fifth Lotusphere and it was very different than all the previous ones mostly for reasons unique to [...] [read] Keywords: lotusphere

ToDos not moving to current day
Wed, Jan 12th 2011 12:14p Garrett Wolthuis I noticed a problem at the beginning of 2011 with my ToDos in Lotus Notes. I typically have a couple that are overdue in which I keep a running record of items. For example, mailfiles that need to be kept active for 60 days. The standard behavior for ToDos whether overdue or due at some [...] [read] Keywords: lotus

Preorders will begin on February 3, 2011 and the devices will be in the stores on February 10, 2011. They will sell for $199 for a 16 GB and $299 [...] [read] Keywords: blogging

Creating sub-categories in the Notes journal
Tue, Nov 2nd 2010 9:26a Garrett Wolthuis Did you know that you can create sub-categories in your Lotus Notes journal? It’s easy! In the category field of a new journal document just use the format “Main Categorysub-category”. You can go down several levels of categories but I haven’t tested the limits. You can also create sub-folders in your mailfile the same way [...] [read] Keywords: lotus

Incorrect RSS feed in Notes 8.5.2
Wed, Oct 6th 2010 12:29p Garrett Wolthuis I’ve been spending a lot of time playing around with the installation files for the Lotus Notes 8.5.2 client. I’ve figured out how to remove some features (Composite Editor and Symphony) to reduce the size of the file as well as some other customizations. While I was editing the presetfeeds.xml (deploypresetfeeds.xml) I discovered that the [...] [read] Keywords: lotus

Mon, Sep 20th 2010 12:26p Garrett Wolthuis So we just upgraded our Domino environment to 8.5.2 HF16 this past weekend. It was a long day but everything went pretty smoothly. Now I’m getting into the new features, specifiically widgets and the widget catalog. How is your widget catalog set up?

I’ve Got The Music In Me
Mon, Aug 16th 2010 1:30p Garrett Wolthuis Recently I ordered a set of bluetooth headphones from Amazon and I started thinking about what I listen to while exercising. For me the answer is easy. When I first started bringing an iPod with me to the gym, I was listening to playlists that I created in iTunes. They were mostly classical rock songs [...] [read] Keywords: ipod
