Simon Peek. Fare well.
Tue, Aug 23rd 2011 3:23p Paul Mooney Anyone that operates in this little world should know Teamstudio. They are an institution in the Lotus world and dare I say a de facto standard in the development world. Well, one of the faces of that company is Simon Peek. Been to a conference anywhere in the world? He has been there on the Teamstudio stand. Well, Simon moved on from Teamstudio today. And that is a loss.
Simon is one of the good guys. Honest (sometimes painfully), sincere, customer focussed and although he alw [read] Keywords: lotus

Get social.. leave IBM?
Tue, Aug 23rd 2011 2:53p Paul Mooney Posting this as a 9 year blogger and observer of the yellow bubble. I don’t like reactionary blog posts either, so please feel free to ignore and skip by.
It seems to me that the most “social” and community orientated people have left IBM/Lotus.
Chris Blatnick, Darren Adams, Tim Clark, Mary Beth Raven, Alan Lepofsky, Kathleen McGivney. The list goes on. I am happy for all of them as they have moved on to bigger and better things. IBM, the list of people that get st [read] Keywords: ibm

Lotus Traveler. Starting to play with the config
Tue, Aug 23rd 2011 6:23a Paul Mooney A lot of configuration changes are made to Lotus Traveler via the server document (Traveler tab) and lotustraveler.nsf database. In similar fashion to Domino, the configurations are written to the equivalent of notes.ini, NTSCONFIG.XML. This file exists in X:IBMLotusDominodatatravelercfg directory.
Small rant. Traveler is one of the few installs I know that creates three directories around a domino server, all called Traveler. This does not help supporting it

Lotus Traveler. It’s not an MDM solution.
Thu, Aug 18th 2011 4:03a Paul Mooney After the workshops held and many emails received, I feel the need to repeat this. Lotus Traveler is a free mobile messaging solution. I will also say it is a dammed good one for the price. But it is not a mobile device management tool. Some time ago, I got into a spot of bother regarding this post, as it was deemed negative. That was not my intent. Traveler can (and does) do many things. You can hack about with it to do even more when you need to. In 8.5.3 it has more functional [read] Keywords: lotus

What Domino project management tool do you recommend?
Mon, Aug 15th 2011 8:14a Paul Mooney A customer has asked me to evaluate a few project management tools with the end-goal of them selecting one with my assistance. Some basic conditions:
Browser based
Decent functionality (nothing too complex)
Quickr based is perfectly fine
Over the years I have tried a few with various levels of success. Do any readers have recommendations on products to evaluate? [read] Keywords: domino

Be prepared
Mon, Aug 15th 2011 5:13a Paul Mooney I’m just a bit too old fashioned to trust the cloud fully. Creating a recovery disk for OSX Lion using the recovery assistant. It requires a 1GB USB Stick that you will not use again unless bad things have happened. Luckily my ILUG2008 usb stick was lying on my memorabilia shelf. [read] Keywords: apple

Heading home from Iamlug 2011
Thu, Aug 4th 2011 4:33p Paul Mooney Seated in departures in T5 of O’Hare airport (Chicago). This was my second IAMLUG, and as ever proved to be an excellent conference in a brilliant venue. IAMLUG feels just like a European LUG. Technical, social and a lot of fun. It flows smoothly but I am well aware of the work that is happening behind the scene to make that happen. I gave my Lotusphere 2011 “Adminblast” deck, and the delegate evals were positive. Considering the talk will soon turn to “whatev [read] Keywords: lotusphere

This week, St Louis, IAMLUG and more
Sun, Jul 31st 2011 10:43a Paul Mooney Tomorrow morning, I spend the Irish Bank Holiday on a plane to St Louis for IAMLug. This is my second IAMLug and I am very much looking forward to meeting all the guys again. After that, the Teamstudio Mobile Technology workshop will be held on Wednesday. It’s gonna be a busy week.
See you all there. [read] Keywords: mobile
