• A couple of reasons why the update site template in Notes 8 is cool!
  Here's a couple of reasons why the Eclipse Update Site template supplied with Notes 8 is a killer template and why it's preferable to use from a Notes users perspective (get the pun?): Update Site accessible over NRCP (only by Notes clients) or HTTP. ...
• The story on Lotus Connections 2.0 and Sametime awareness
  So I have been messing a bit with Sametime enabling Lotus Connections the last few days. It all started with the browser blanking out on me once I enabled Sametime Links (stlinks ie. the Javascript API for Sametime normally used to Sametime enable web ...
• Lotusphere 2009: The heat is on!
  So registrations for Lotusphere 2009 opened just a few hours ago and Duffbert is all set after waiting in line for a few hours on Twitter... :-) It's amazing how Lotusphere registration is that special day when the excitement starts building. I know I'm ...

• Sametime blackbox - update needed for Lotus Connections 2.0
  I wrote a number of articles in THE VIEW some time back on writing custom Sametime blackboxes (see the March/April and May/June 2008 issues). If you implemented the Sametime blackbox that read data from Lotus Connections (like it's done on ...
• How to install a Lotus Connections fix (which is different from a fixpack)
  Previously I installed Lotus Connections 2.0 fixpack 1 and it took me a while to figure out the syntax so I blogged it. Now I just installed a fix and that too took some figuring out so here is the syntax. I had to install the LO32615 fix from IBM ...
• Show 'n Tell Thursday: Easy access to Lotus Connections Profiles translation files (21 August 2008)
  This weeks SnTT post is about Lotus Connections and how to more easily get access to and change the translation files for the UI of the Profiles feature. Configuring which pieces of information are surfaced in the Profiles feature is pretty easy and ...

• Re: A couple of reasons why the update site template in Notes 8 is cool!
  The only thing I wish it had was the ability to delete a feature, versus deleting all the features. I know why it's like this, but it doesn't mean I can't dream :-)
• Re: A couple of reasons why the update site template in Notes 8 is cool!
  I would think so. Looking at the backend documents the manifest.mf is stored in its entirety in an item and some data extracted for presentation. The same is true for features. As to p2 for Notes I wouldn't bet on it though it would be cool. Notes 8.5 is ...
• Re: A couple of reasons why the update site template in Notes 8 is cool!
  Thanks, I have been meaning to check this thing out. I can definitely see the value of it behind the corporate firewall. Do you know if this template supports Equinox p2 metadata? ..are we even going to see p2 under the covers of Notes 8.5?
• Re: FT Searching for empty fields courtesy of Alan Lepofsky
  Wow. You can learn stuff in roundabout ways: I needed to do this a week ago, but couldn't work out how to do it. Now, reading Planet Lotus, I come to your blog, then follow a link to Alan Lepofsky's blog to read his entry dating back to 2006. I often read ...
• Re: My steps for installing Lotus Connections 2.0 FP1
  Come on IBM - how difficult would it be to write a script to perform the above steps and make it easier?
• Re: Sametime widget - would you like to have it?
  The project kind of got stuck with some of the others that never really got of the ground. The main thing missing is the servlet piece on the server. I haven't really got an outlook on when it will be done and if it will be done. Wanna do the servlet ...
• Re: Sametime widget - would you like to have it?
  Hi Mikkel, how far is the widget?

  Thanks for this, I was just about to start pulling my hair out!
• Re: Custom Sametime blackbox for bleedyellow.com
  First of all I don't think the Connections Rest API provides you with access to the picture data though I could very well be wrong. The honest answer however is that it started as a use-case for writing your own Sametime blackboxes more than anything else ...
• Re: Custom Sametime blackbox for bleedyellow.com
  Hi Mikkel. Was there a reason you chose to access this data directly in DB2 rather than use the Connections existing APIs?
