interesting domino job in denver
Wed, Nov 9th 2011 7:22p John Vaughan my good friend dave needs a senior domino architect/coder
to work in denver. sure looks like a cool job. there are all these sensors
monitoring renewable energy devices, all this data going... somewhere,
and the somewhere is prototyped in domino, and will likely stay in domino
too. i kinda knocked around some ideas on the basic architecture with dave
and boy, i wish i could work on this. it's the kind of thing that people
say you can't do with domino but you know what? yes you can!

Sun, Feb 20th 2011 12:02p John Vaughan the good thing about grief is that it is
essentially about acceptance. there's anger, there's sadness, all of that.
but by its very nature it presents an end to itself. it's a kind of organ,
not unlike an intestine, that sort of digests us, and spits us out the
other side.
i don't think anyone particularly likes
being digested. ya know. but ultimately we have no choice but to surrender.
the difference between grief and mere
sadness, or momentary depression, is that with the [read] Keywords: ibm

Mon, Jan 24th 2011 6:02p John Vaughan this is the first lotusphere in nine? ten?
years i've missed. well i haven't missed it yet, but i'm about to. except
for saturday. i'll be there, at the boardwalk, espn, etc, until as late
as everyone wants to be out. i'm crashing on site saturday night, to make
sure i miss as little as possible. but i can't be around the rest of the
week.

today i experienced some grief about this. it just keeps coming, here and

Sun, Oct 10th 2010 3:44a John Vaughan A few things I recently posted to this blog
backfired, and here is the reason: I asserted some things I could not back
up.
I didn't do the research. To make assertions
without vetted, on-record statements from in-the-know experts is just stupid.
I'm not a journalist though and I'm not
going to try to become one.
All that to say, I'm not going to do that
again.
That's not to say the post was completely
without merit, but a good portion of it had no center of grav [read] Keywords: lotus

Tue, Sep 21st 2010 4:14p John Vaughan In my quest to quickly find an answer to
my dojox
grid conundrum, I pinged a couple
of the guys in the community I knew had been deep into dojo, and specifically,
dojox grids. I had a feeling my questions were pretty simple for someone
who had spent a lot of time with the grid object. There are exactly two
guys that I know for sure have done a lot with dojox grids, and Lance
Spellman is one of them. I knew
this because of his early work (now a couple of years old already!) on
his dojomi [read] Keywords: community

Wed, Sep 15th 2010 11:44a John Vaughan We are not moving nearly as quickly toward
Sharepoint in our shop as, I think, any of us believed. Not only that,
but we are on 8.5.1 now in production, and we are starting to write dojo
and XPages apps. That's not to say Sharepoint isn't still on the horizon
(there is a working prototype of our intranet floating around on a development
server), but we are all still writing Domino stuff full time so far.
It's a weird, upside down world. Honestly
I need to give up trying to underst [read] Keywords: domino

Fri, Sep 3rd 2010 9:13p John Vaughan someone sent this old Rumi poem to a listserver
i hang around on.
Who makes these changes?
I shoot an arrow right.
It lands left.
I ride after a deer and find myself
chased by a hog.
I plot to get what I want
and end up in prison.
I dig pits to trap others
and fall in.
I should be suspicious
of what I want.

if that isn't an accurate description of
my life, i don't know what is. well, i haven't ended up in prison yet,
