One of the hidden gems in Lotus Notes is the ability to easily consolidate and share information using the "Copy Selected As Table" function. This can be used in any shared Lotus Notes database to quickly direct other users to the required documents, or to summarise information presented in a Lotus Notes view. Here's how it works...
Apologies for the public post, this one’s for Nokia...
Wed, May 23rd 2012 8:11a Mat Newman G'Day NokiaHelps and Nokia_Connects , Here is the content of the .jad file for Sametime on Nokia E-Series for anyone who has a corporate Sametime server.

How to create an iCalendar Feed from a Lotus Notes database
Mon, May 14th 2012 12:27a Mat Newman One thing coming up over and over again on Twitter recently is how much users hate Lotus Notes because it can't provide them with an iCalendar Feed that they can sync with another service like Google or OSX iCal. Interestingly, the iCalendar standard was actually co-authored by a Loti (a Lotus employee), Frank Dawson (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ICalendar) Out of the box Lotus Notes accepts iCalendar feeds as a consumer (you can add feeds to your own Lotus Notes calendar using the "Add [read] Keywords: domino

Digital Literacy, it’s more than just process
Sun, Apr 29th 2012 7:56p Mat Newman This Week in Lotus episode 97 resonated soundly with me this week, especially the discussion surrounding Digital Literacy. Darren Duke made the comment: "...If you're doing a 4 year degree ... the technology you use today is going to be invariably different to the technology when you come out..." As an educator, one of the most important things I impart to my participants on any subject are the concepts they are learning about, before moving on to the process. Sure, I can teach the [read] Keywords: connections

Symbian Belle now available in Australia
Mon, Apr 23rd 2012 5:32p Mat Newman Wandering around the Qantas lounges last week it was obvious that Nokia's market share in Australia is declining - as it is in other parts of the world - with the most visible device being the obligatory iPhone. My own device preference remains the Nokia E7, mainly due to the excellent Telephone capabilities (it is a Phone after all), in addition to the form factor; including a large physical keyboard, and the flip-up screen, which I really like working with. The hardware is just as important [read] Keywords: ibm

#TipOfTheDay Don’t try and Admin a Lotus Protector server if your JRE is newer than 1.6.0_23
Sun, Mar 11th 2012 8:58p Mat Newman Had configured Lotus Protector for a customer, and was showing them how to enter the Admin page and make some modifications. The client didn't have Java installed, so we pulled the latest release from java.com, only to discover that none of our changes could be saved from his machine. That's when we found this support technote on the IBM Site: http://www-01.ibm.com/support/docview.wss?uid=swg21473125 Key thing here: All attempts to save configuration changes are ending up wi [read] Keywords: admin
