The Domino Server and Lotus Notes client have an exciting future
By Andrew Pollack on 09/23/2007 at 12:48 PM EDTI (and some others) had a recent opportunity to participate in some long term future discussions with the IBM development teams. I can't talk directly about anything specific that I've been shown, but I cannot help but report that the future has more cool stuff in it than I'd thought possible in a much shorter time frame. The IBM teams are focused on making the product more robust, much easier (and less expensive) to support, and much more easily integrated with -- well, pretty much everything. The development tools as well, seem to have almost the entire list of things everyone has been asking for for a long time accounted for in one way or another and a few things that I think are going to be paradigm changing and yet haven't even been requested or considered yet in the general Lotus user base.
It is exciting times indeed. I'm working on getting permission to post an article on one or two key things in the very near future, so that those of you in blog land can help explain what you're seeing on stage at Lotusphere to those who won't have had time digest it yet. We'll see how that goes.
The reason I say all this is simple:
If you don't have your Lotusphere tickets yet, get them right away. You need to be there this year.

The truth is, I haven't had much to say that was worthy of more than a basic social media post -- until today. For my current work, I was assigned a new laptop. It's a real powerhouse machine with 14 processor cores and 64 gigs of ram. It should be perfect for running my development environment in a virtual machine, but it wasn't. VirtualBox was barely starting, and no matter how many features I turned off, it could ......

Certainly it should have been addressed in the Trump, Obama, Bush, Clinton, Bush, and Reagan administrations -- all of which were well aware of the implications of a pandemic. I want a military prepared to help us, not just hurt other people. As an American I expect that with the ridiculous funding of our military might, we are prepared for damn near everything. Not just killing people and breaking things, but ......
- 01/28/2020Copyright Troll WarningThere's a copyright troll firm that has automated reverse-image searches and goes around looking for any posted images that they can make a quick copyright claim on. This is not quite a scam because it's technically legal, but it's run very much like a scam. This company works with a few "clients" that have vast repositories of copyrighted images. The trolls do a reverse web search on those images looking for hits. When they find one on a site that looks like someone they can scare, they work it like ......
