call for contributors
Tue, Feb 7th 2012 1:08a Tim Tripcony I've been playing with something off and on since Friday that I think has some serious potential. Rather than silo the idea, I've decided to show you what I've come up with so far and ask if any of you want to lend a hand.
First, let me tease you with a couple screenshots.
Nothing terribly exciting so far, I suppose. How about something a tiny bit fancier?
Okay, I guess that's a little more interesting. It's starting to look like a real XPage now. But [read] Keywords: application

the highlight of my Lotusphere 2012 experience
Sun, Feb 5th 2012 6:01p Tim Tripcony This year was my fifth opportunity to attend Lotusphere. It was unusual in that I was only able to be onsite for about 24 hours. But in some ways it was the most enjoyable Lotusphere I've yet attended.
As mentioned by many others, this year's OGS was very solid. Good pace, good demos, great opening band... good energy overall, and a fairly clear overall message. I found it striking that, although there was nothing particularly revolutionary revealed this year, the feedback I've seen (bot [read] Keywords: collaboration

avoid using a page ACL on servers that use Directory Assistance
Fri, Jan 27th 2012 1:26a Tim Tripcony XPages support definition of a page-specific ACL, allowing you to refine permissions for specific portions of an application, as described in this article. As Paul mentions in the comments, you can also set an ACL on a specific panel component; this allows you to define entirely different permissions for distinct portions of the same page. For example, if you were to create an "in-view editing" interface using a repeat control, you would typically create a panel inside the repeat, with a panel [read] Keywords: acl

my Skype account has been compromised
Tue, Jan 17th 2012 11:31a Tim Tripcony I got home from Lotusphere last night, and could no longer log in to Skype. My password has apparently been changed. Except that I haven't recently changed the password (which, admittedly, is probably why the account was compromised), so someone else must have changed it. I followed Skype's password reset procedure, twice, and both times after receiving an email containing a reset token, and immediately attempting to use said token, was told the token was invalid.
Skype provides no way to [read] Keywords: lotusphere

liveblogging the OGS
Mon, Jan 16th 2012 6:17a Tim Tripcony OK GO opens the the OGS with a 3 song set, including "All is Not Lost"... can't help hoping the audience is listening to that one.
Alistair calls attention to the 800 students GBS brought today.
Michael J. Fox takes the stage as guest speaker.
By the way, this live blog experience brought to you by Verizon 3G Mobile Hotspot... since the Lotusphere WiFi is, once again, completely useless. [read] Keywords: lotusphere

getting nitpicky
Wed, Jan 11th 2012 10:18a Tim Tripcony I saw a post this morning stating that the Federal Reserve is migrating to Exchange. Perhaps it's because I've been sick the past few days, but I found myself getting annoyed by some of the terminology used in the post. I left a long, rambling comment to that effect, but have since decided to duplicate the content of that comment here, as it's something I feel strongly about, even when I'm not sick. Enjoy:
Sorry for the nitpick, because a lot of people make this mistake, but it doesn't [read] Keywords: domino

I need your help
Tue, Dec 27th 2011 11:20p Tim Tripcony A very dear friend of mine is going through a difficult time right now. Her brother is gravely ill, and she could use your help:
Our sister and their mom are both servers in the restaurant business. Thankfully, both of their employers have given them the time off they need without their jobs being in jeopardy. However, there is no paid time off and no vacation time in the restaurant business. While they have always been able to just make ends meet, I am concerned about them not bein [read] Keywords:
