nsftools.com blogJulian's latest blog about Lotus Notes, Domino, Java, and random thingsBoston Weather (Monday, Apr 28)- April 28, 2008 Going to pack for the View Developer2008 (plus Admin2008, and more!) conference in Boston this week. Let's check the weather... Yikes! That looks cold to me for this time of year. At least the pollen count should be much lower than I'm used to.

Here's what they look like: Not too terribly different, but they were able to ugly it up just a tiny bit more with weird purple tints and a grossly out-of-place oversized "5" on the back. This page on moneyfactory.gov describes the new security features and whatnot. permalink e-mail me readadd commentshttp://www.nsftools.com/blog/blog-04-2008.htm#04-24-08 Vista "Network Tuning" (Tuesday, Apr 22)- April 23, 2008 This came up in my Google Alerts yesterday: Vista's automatic network tuning may cause Lotus Notes network timeouts. The story was that someone was having trouble with Lotus Notes (and other network applications) on his new Vista machine, and when he disabled the "automatic network tuning" everything started working again. I don't have Vista installed anywhere and I honestly don't know anything about this autotuninglevel stuff, so usual caveats about "this is something I found on the...http://www.nsftools.com/blog/blog-04-2008.htm#04-22-08 Quickr Entry (Monday, Apr 21)- April 21, 2008 I was looking through the Quickr Entry Entitlement announcement just now (that's the product formerly known as Quickr Personal), and the Quickr Entry product page. Anyone been able to download these yet I know when Ed Brill mentioned it last month the download link wasn't up. UPDATE: from the comments, it sounds like when you install the "regular" version of Quickr 8.1, you have the choice to activate either just the Entry functionality or the full Standard functionality (and in fact...http://www.nsftools.com/blog/blog-04-2008.htm#04-21-08 Searching For JavaScript Across Libraries (Thursday, Apr 10)- April 11, 2008 Let's say you have a web page that references a LOT of different JavaScript libraries. Maybe you need to find out which library a function is in, or maybe you want to see how many different places a function is being called from. Hmm, there must be some good way to do this, right This is a question that has many different answers. I couldn't find a way in Firebug to do it (which is usually the answer to everything), so below is what I came up with. 1. Open the page in Firefox. Duh....http://www.nsftools.com/blog/blog-04-2008.htm#04-10-08 JavaScript Stack Traces (Tuesday, Apr 8)- April 9, 2008 I was trying to debug some JavaScript tonight, and I got to wondering whether or not you could determine which function called another one. You know, to do a mini-stack trace or something (and yes, I know all about Firebug thank you). Well, a few minutes of Googling and I found out you can. Here's an example: http:www.helephant.comArticle.aspxID=675 Pretty cool. Yet another thing I didn't know about JavaScript. Oh, and speaking of function tracing and whatnot, did you see the new...http://www.nsftools.com/blog/blog-04-2008.htm#04-08-08 File Attachments and Clippings Newsletter (Saturday, Apr 5)- April 5, 2008 Just a quick note to point you to an article I wrote for the latest Clippings newsletter. It talks about some of the different ways a Domino server can serve up file attachments. Seem basic Maybe, but did you know that by turning off compression for a file attachment on a document, you can actually make the file download faster In fact, if you have PDF attachments that are saved so they can be viewed "page-at-a-time" on the web, the only way the page-at-a-time stuff works on Domino is if the.http://www.nsftools.com/blog/blog-04-2008.htm#04-05-08 LotusScript CodeLock (Monday, Mar 31)- April 1, 2008 I've used LotusScript code locking exactly once before in my life, I think, and that time I'm not sure if I actually ended up using it in production or I ditched it before I was done playing. For reference, here's a class I dug up that makes code locking take a few less lines of code: SimpleCodeLock.lss (also in html format) Anyway, I found a technote that said there was a CodeLock server crash condition fixed in 6.5.5 and 7.0.1, but there wasn't much else on it. Does anyone have any...http://www.nsftools.com/blog/blog-03-2008.htm#03-31-08 |
