I am looking to purchase a new laptop for doing work. I will be taking this laptop all over the place, so it has to be sort of mobile. Good battery life is a must. It's most likely going to be a Windoze machine, as I need to run Notes Designer and Admin. Do any of you have any specific advice on makes and models that you either love or hate? I have been working with Dells for the last 10 years or so, but also have an HP laptop for home use. I know pretty much what I want as far as configuration is concerned: - Dual Core Processor - but which one?
- 2GB of Memory - is 3GB overkill?
- 120 GB+ Hard drive - willing to sacrifice space for a 7200 RPM drive
- 15" Display - thinking about a 17", but not sure if I want to carry it around
- ATI/nVidia video card - gotta be able to play Unreal during my down time
- 802.11B/G Wireless - not sure if I really want to worry about N right now
- DVD-R/CD-RW Drive - to Bluray or not to Bluray, that is the question
- Bluetooth - Must have for my wireless mouse
Questions I have: - Is a finger print scanner absurd or is it worth the money?
- What's the best lock to get? Yes, I know, I have seen the video too!
- Should I get a WLAN card to hook up to my cellular company's network? I am thinking that it might be a good thing to have on the train.
- Is there anything that I am missing? Any little nice to have that really makes a difference for day to day use?
Thanks in advance for any help that you might be able to offer. |

SnTT: Upgrading from Quickr Entry to Quickr Standard 
Wed, Jul 2nd 2008 8:42p Sean Burgess
Although this is documented in the Quickr InfoCenter, I thought that it was important for me to remember in the future.To upgrade Quickr Server from Entry to Standard, just modify the value of QRD_InstallType in the Notes.ini to be 2 instead of 1.That is about as simple an upgrade as I could ever imagine.

Is SharePoint missing an ACL entry?
Thu, Jun 12th 2008 12:29p Sean Burgess
I have been working with another "developer" who is building a SharePoint site based on requirements that I have gathered from an end user. In going through the security settings for the site, something seemed to be missing and it took me a minute to figure out what it was. From what I could see, it looks as though the Author level of access has been left out of SP.To me, the status level of Author goes hand in hand with the idea of ownership. I have always considered the Author of a document [read] Keywords: acl

For those of us who remotely support multiple clients, it's a comfort to our clients when they see our status icon is green when they log into their Sametime server. Unfortunately, this is going to be an issue if your client has deployed the Entry version of Sametime.One of the unspecified requirements of the Sametime Entry server is that it requires users that connect to it have that server set as their default Sametime community.

Watch out when updating Eclipse-based applications
Mon, May 5th 2008 3:23p Sean Burgess
The move of the Notes Client to an architecture based on Eclipse is seen as a good move by most people. Recently, though, I ran into an issue that you might need to be aware of. One of the other applications I use to develop web applications is Aptana Studio, which is also built upon Eclipse. I hadn't been in it recently, so when I fired it up last week, it asked me to download a bunch of new updates. Halfway through the installation, it failed because it wasn't able to access/update a certa [read] Keywords: administration

ASND Export Facility 2.0.2 Released

I wish I had more time to do testing the right way, but such is life when you are writing code for free.There is one bug that is currently unresolved that I would love some help on. The crux of the problem is this: When doing sorting a collection by multiple fields, the secondary sorts are opposite what they should be.

Flagg was a sight to behold barreling down the 2 lane blacktop at better than 100 miles per hour. The first thing you might notice was the color of the Bentley Arnage T he was driving. To say it was white would be a great understatement. At a final cost of just over half a million dollars, it was a minimalists' wet dream. The entire car, save the tires, brake lights, and light blue digital displays, was bright white.

Although still a work in progress, it is a great example on the extensibility of the new Notes client built on Eclipse. This will allow developers to build applications for Notes without having to learn anything about Notes. It is almost like building applications for browsers.

The Howard County Fire Department made another unscheduled trip to my house a couple of weeks ago while I was at the LCY event. The last time they were there, our new black cat had gotten himself high up in a tree and couldn't figure out how to get down. He was so high that we didn't have a ladder that got more than a third of the way up to where George was meowing. So we put the fire fighters to good use by having them rescue our cat out of a tree.

That being said, from time to time, I have had to delve into the world of sorting and have compiled a LSS file that contains 3 of the more popular sorting routines: Bubble Sort, Quick Sort, and Merge Sort.

Any of us who played sports as a kid have dreamed about running onto the field as a professional to the cheers of fans. These days, each athlete seems to have their own entrance music. Most of it is hard rock and hip hop, but every now and then something interesting is played. During the '80s, Pat Benatar's "Hit Me With Your Best Shot" was always played when the Caps took the ice at the Capital Centre.If I were able to choose my own music, the choice would be an easy one, albeit not one that [read] Keywords: |

Events like onFocus, onBlur, and onChange were added to make it easier for Notes developers to add JavaScript to web applications. While a large portion of the new events are JavaScript only, the 3 mentioned can also have LotusScript code run in the Notes Client. Until today, that option had total [read] Keywords: javascript

Today's entry is no exception: Don't feel inadequate if you aren't lining your nest with the shiniest, newest things possible. Who cares what technology you use, as long as it works, and both you and your users are happy with it? I do find that a large number of the "expert" developers on the net are constantly chasing the "great new thing". I often wonder how they have to learn about these shiney, new toy [read] Keywords: domino

Question about Smart Upgrade Kits
Thu, Dec 20th 2007 6:30a Sean Burgess
Smart Upgrade might easily be the most important feature to come to Notes since the live remote server console. Since Release 6, migrating from one version to the next or even applying quarterly update patches requires very little effort on the part of the Notes Administrator. This is part of the reason why a single Notes admin can easily support 1500-3000 users by himself without breaking a sweat. Combining Smart Upgrade and Policies with the InstallShield Tuner for Notes gives an Admin almost [read] Keywords: admin

Chicks Dig Scars
Fri, Dec 14th 2007 9:39a Colette Burgess
I have come to the conclusion that being the mother of 4 boys makes some things inevitable. The other day while I was at work I received a phone call and some instant messages from Sean. He was trying to reach me because Caden (our youngest who will be 2 in January) had fallen at the babysitter's house and busted his head open above his left eye. Sean was trying to decide whether or not he was going to take him to the emergency room or try and glue his head back together himself. Let me just say [read] Keywords: |

ASND Export Facility a big hit
Thu, Dec 6th 2007 6:05a Sean Burgess
There is no better feeling for a developer than to have a user heap praise on you for something that you have built. Such is the case recently with the ASND Export Facility.I knew I had scored big time when I got an IM in about 15 minutes from her ... "This is so freaking cool!" She had promised the reports to the user by November 30th if at all possible. With ASND Export Facility, she handed them over a day later and left everyone in awe of her technical prowess.The really cool thing is that t [read] Keywords: application

SnTT: Show your local DBs some love
Thu, Dec 6th 2007 5:25a Sean Burgess
We all know how important it is to run regular maintenance on databases on the server. The same can be said of databases on your local hard drive. The most important of these tasks is compact. Sure, you can tediously access the db properties of each db on your desktop and click to compact the database, but that takes way too long to complete and it won't help with databases likes names.nsf and log.nsf. Instead, open a command prompt and type in the following:cd\program files\lotus otes o [read] Keywords: lotus

Ideas.....Get Ready to Rumble!
Tue, Nov 27th 2007 7:30a Sean Burgess
Well, that didn't take long. Idea Jam has it's first extension! Nathan came up with Idea Battle, a page that randomly selects 2 ideas and you get to choose the winner.The concept of Idea Battle is simple: we show you two randomly selected ideas from IdeaJam, and you pick which one you would rather see implemented. There are no criteria for your choice, except that it probably helps to be honest. Just because you pick a winner does not mean that you don't want to see the loser implemented, too.

When an idea gets posted, others can help promote or demote the idea and provide comments. Popular ideas will bubble to the top. Unlike blogs and discussion forums, Idea Jam provides a single place to measure the value of an idea.Ideas are grouped into & [read] Keywords: administration

Christophe was kind enough to get back with me in a very short time frame, although I didn't see it until today cause Hotmail had classified it as Junk. In any event, it seems that coComment has joined the JSON crowd with their latest release. Below is an updated script that you can add to your blog based on the DominoBl [read] Keywords: document

Ultimate Get Him/Her Back CD Playlist
Fri, Nov 16th 2007 9:45a Sean Burgess
Being a product of the 80s, I was always into making mix tapes. Since tapes have given way to CDs and iPods, making a mix for myself or someone special isn't as hard as it used to be, but it's still just as important. Nothing can get your workout flowing like a well laid out list of songs. But in reality, the mix tape is all about expressing one's feelings for another person, whether that be a newly found love or a love that's possibly leaving. So without further adieu, here is my Ultimate Get H [read] Keywords: |

OpenNTF Applications Upgrades
Thu, Nov 15th 2007 7:15a Sean Burgess
I am in the process of adding some things to my OpenNTF applications and was wondering what designer client I should be using to do the changes. I think that I can safely move off of the Notes 6.5.x client, but is it ok to do all my coding in the Notes 8 Designer? I don't think that I will be doing anything that will cause issues, but I do wonder how other project chef's are handling the multiple supported versions of Notes. [read] Keywords: designer

I think he was actually happy to be taken to the sitter's this morning. I think he's really gotten sick of being at home. I wonder if he was as sick of getting his diaper changed 15 times a day as I was of doing the changing.On a more positive note, Jackson starts wrestling tonight.

Need Help with Extended ASCII Characters and Javascript/AJAX
Sat, Nov 10th 2007 7:45a Sean Burgess
Being from the United States, I don't run into the need to deal with Extended ASCII characters very often. In reality, I never deal with them. So I am pretty clueless as to how to solve the current issue I am having on Idea Jam.The Idea Jam registration form is submitted via AJAX and works extremely well. However, we have run into a problem where any extended ASCII characters aren't handled correctly on by the LotusScript agent that performs the registration. The problem is that those charac [read] Keywords: agent

I am being assimilated by the Mac Borg

It had to happen sooner or later. Too many of the Lotus Community were Macphiles and constantly talked about the positive attributes of the platform. So as a Thank You for the work I have been doing on Idea Jam, Bruce took it into his own hands to bring me into the fold. My initial thought was "What the hell am I going to do with an iMac?" I mean, I have been a detractor of the platform for a long time. I mean, if the Macs were so great and all the schools had them, how come that didn't tr [read] Keywords: lotus

I have been on a sort of a kick with reading lately. Ever since Harry Potter came out in July, the family and I have been reading pretty regularly. Here's what's been in our hands: Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows (Book 7) - what can I say that hasn't already been said. My wife and I have read Harry since we found the first book in a Zany Brainy about 8 years ago. I am still amazed at the affect this series has had on the culture. I can't think of any other set of books that has made childr [read] Keywords: |

Rod is riding a dead horse
Thu, Nov 8th 2007 12:00p Sean Burgess
I saw an entry on TechCrunch today about Teqlo dying a horrible, penniless death. While I have never worked with the company, something about that name stuck in my head. That's right, our favorite Notes bashing poster child Rod Boothby was hired by the company last December. Maybe he now understands what the word dead really means when it comes to software. I guess it wasn't as game changing as he thought it was. [read] Keywords: notes
