Calendar interoperability
While listening to Inside the Net episode 29 podcast I learned of calconnect.org which is “The Calendaring and Scheduling Consortium” (Quote: “The Consortium is focused on the interoperable exchange of calendaring and scheduling information between dissimilar programs, platforms, and technologies. The Consortium’s mission is to promote general understanding of and provide mechanisms to allow interoperable calendaring and scheduling methodologies, tools and applications to enter the mainstream of computing.”)
In the podcast Scott Mace is interviewed and mentions calconnect.org where they recently got seven calendar systems to talk to each other. Interesting Lotus Notes/Domino and Microsoft Outlook/Exchange is included in the test using CalDAV.
This is very interesting. Would this be too late to fully incorporate and support CalDAV in Hannover/Domino Next?
I’m back…
Well – I’m back from my cycling (holiday-)trip to the Dolomite mountain range in Italy. 688 km and 17.280 meters climbed on 6 stages going between all the famous ski resorts there (Canazei, Cortina, Val Gardena etc.). Work will actually feel like holiday now… 🙂
Going on vacation!
I probably wont be blogging at all over the next week as I’m leaving for the Dolomiti mountain range in Italy to ride my bike. 6 stages with a total of 604 km and 16710 height meters incl. many well known Giro d’Italia stages. If you care you can see the passes I’ll be riding here (in Danish). I’ll be posting pictures regulary at my personal blog (also in Danish).
Profile for stage 2:
Stu Downes: Blogging using Domino
Stu Downes has an interesting post on the upcoming blogging features of Notes/Domino 7.0.2 and some of the challenges for corporations and it-departments incl. points on Sametime integration, extensibility and security. An intesting read.
Notes/Domino 7.0.2 only a template release?
Watching the keynote from the Ireland Notes Usergroup 2006 via Google Video I stumbled upon something Ed Brill said in relation to the release Notes/Domino 7.0.2. What I heard was something like:
“…we’re not touching the core code. This is all template work or install work. <snip/> It’s not going to touch anything about nserver.exe, it’s not going to touch anything about your address book, it’s not going to touch anything about your replication. It’s not going to touch anything about your users.”
How can that be? Not all the 388 fixes listed on Lotus developerWorks are template related. Did I misunderstand what Ed said or were he simply wrong? Did he mean the added RSS functionality was orthogonal to the code? Hmmm…
MobileViking.be: UserSession object in Domino
Stumbled upon a post called “UserSession object in Domino” over at MobileViking.be which looks very interesting… It’s an approach to using the Front Controller/Strategy pattern to provide sticky sessions to web users using a Java agent in Domino.
BTW – Erwind must be one of the first bloggers there was! He has a post dated January 1970! 🙂
AJAXified Javadoc
Check out Javaref – looks nice…
Problems with Sametime client in Notes 6.5.1 against Domino/Sametime 7
Just a mental note to self. Don’t try to use the embedded Sametime client in Notes 6.5.1 against a Domino/Sametime 7 server. It does not work. Upgrading the client to Notes 6.5.5 solved the problem.
Error message was the well-known “Incorrect password” (0x8000003).
Domino Session Tester updated
The Domino Session Tester mentioned yesterday has been updated so you can test whether the user in question can connect to a particular database. You can also test access a particular document (based on UNID). The download on the original post now points to the new version.
The new command line switches are -s (server), -d (database) and -u (universal id).
