Here's a clip from their FAQ on the site. I see only one item, do you sell anything else? No. We sell one item per day until it is sold out or until 11:59pm central time when it is replaced (see next entry for details).

Tue, Apr 10th 2007 4:57a   John James
With a Domino .nsf file, occasionally you need to move a database from one server to another, but how do you keep your links intact when the new server has a new URL? I have come up with 3 ways that I make use of that all return the same result. One is in formula language, one is in lotusscript and one in javascript.

Of Architects and Web Developers....
Tue, Mar 6th 2007 5:52a   John James
I came across this, thought it was cute... If Architects were Web Developers... Dear Mr. Architect: Please design and build me a house. I am not quite sure of what I need, so you should use your discretion. My house should have somewhere between two and forty-five bedrooms. Just make sure the plans are such that the bedrooms can be easily added or deleted. When you bring the blueprints to me, I will make the final decision of what I want.

The only bad part is that my space bar sticks a bit. [read] Keywords: laptop
