Integrating FormCheck and Domino forms
Wed, May 13th 2009 9:13a Sean Burgess I have been working with the MooTools framework for the past week or so. I am realyl starting to like not having to code everything by hand and am thinking it might save quite a bit of labor in the near future. A tool that extends the MooTools 1.2.1 framework is FormCheck. It makes client side validation of forms an absolute snap.While everything worked great in IE 7, I was having serious issues getting the FormCheck code to fire when working in FireFox 3. After lots of testing and beating m [read] Keywords: domino

Latest 1352 Report has been released
Mon, May 11th 2009 8:46p Sean Burgess Post production work has been completed on Episode 11 of the 1352 Report entitled (Lotus) Marketing 101. The 4 of us take turns beating the dead horse that is the Lotus Marketing department. Of course, none of us have any absolute answers as to how to solve the perceived issues, but I think we had some good ideas. It was really nice of Colette to make a guest appearance on the show to give us a non-Lotus point of view. [read] Keywords: lotus

Issues with LDAP and Sametime/Domino 8.0.2
Mon, May 11th 2009 3:28p Sean Burgess Been running into issues lately with Sametime and LDAP. The Sametime is version 8.0.2 running on Domino of the same version. The issue occurs whenever the LDAP server gets rebooted. The LDAP service on the Domino server isn't able to re-establish the connection to the LDAP server when it comes back up. Restarting the LDAP service on Domino doesn't re-establish the connection either. To solve the issue, the entire Domino service needs to be restarted.This can't be the norm for working wit [read] Keywords: administration

Is SharePoint missing an ACL entry?
Thu, Jun 12th 2008 10:00a Sean Burgess I have been working with another "developer" who is building a SharePoint site based on requirements that I have gathered from an end user. In going through the security settings for the site, something seemed to be missing and it took me a minute to figure out what it was. From what I could see, it looks as though the Author level of access has been left out of SP.To me, the status level of Author goes hand in hand with the idea of ownership. I have always considered the Author of a docume [read] Keywords: acl

SnTT: Sametime 8.0.1 limitation hits home
Wed, Jun 11th 2008 9:00p Sean Burgess For those of us who remotely support multiple clients, it's a comfort to our clients when they see our status icon is green when they log into their Sametime server. Unfortunately, this is going to be an issue if your client has deployed the Entry version of Sametime.One of the unspecified requirements of the Sametime Entry server is that it requires users that connect to it have that server set as their default Sametime community. For user's at the client site, it's no big deal since they [read] Keywords: connections

New Bookmark Link to AddThis
Thu, May 8th 2008 8:30p Sean Burgess John Head asked me for some help in getting a new third party service integrated into the the IBM Domino Blog template. The new service, AddThis, aggregates your bookmarks to a large number of bookmark sharing sites like del.icio.us and Digg. In addition, it tracks how many people use your button to share your page. To add this to your own blog, use the following code: The Blog specific changes are in bold. The only thing you need to change when putting it on your site is to replac [read] Keywords: domino

Watch out when updating Eclipse-based applications
Mon, May 5th 2008 12:45p Sean Burgess The move of the Notes Client to an architecture based on Eclipse is seen as a good move by most people. Recently, though, I ran into an issue that you might need to be aware of. One of the other applications I use to develop web applications is Aptana Studio, which is also built upon Eclipse. I hadn't been in it recently, so when I fired it up last week, it asked me to download a bunch of new updates. Halfway through the installation, it failed because it wasn't able to access/update a cer [read] Keywords: administration

ILUG 2008 Agenda released

I would have started offering her up earlier if I would have known the benefits it would get me. [read] Keywords: ilug

ASND Export Facility 2.0.2 Released
Wed, Apr 23rd 2008 12:30p Sean Burgess I have just posted the 2.0.2 version of the ASND Export Facility. This version fixes a number of really, silly bugs. I wish I had more time to do testing the right way, but such is life when you are writing code for free.There is one bug that is currently unresolved that I would love some help on. The crux of the problem is this: When doing sorting a collection by multiple fields, the secondary sorts are opposite what they should be. For example, if I want to sort the results by Person in a [read] Keywords: bug

ILUG Map has been updated
Sun, Apr 20th 2008 8:40a Sean Burgess I have updated the map for ILUG 2008 with all the names of the people who are staying at the Camden Court Hotel. I have also added names to other hotels that attendees are staying at. If you don't see your name and/or hotel, leave a comment or drop me an email and I will be sure to add you to the map.Update: When one person comments, it might be easy to ignore. When a second person says something, it might be worth making a change. I have modified the map to remove the room type for the peop [read] Keywords: ilug

Albino Butterfly: Chapter 5 - The Ghost Arrives
Thu, Apr 3rd 2008 10:45a Sean Burgess Flagg was a sight to behold barreling down the 2 lane blacktop at better than 100 miles per hour. The first thing you might notice was the color of the Bentley Arnage T he was driving. To say it was white would be a great understatement. At a final cost of just over half a million dollars, it was a minimalists' wet dream. The entire car, save the tires, brake lights, and light blue digital displays, was bright white. It had an almost ethereal glow about it, which is why the cult members refer [read] Keywords: policies

Twitter + Notes = TwitNotes
Tue, Mar 25th 2008 8:14p Sean Burgess In case you aren't following any of the Lotus Community on Twitter, Mikkel Heisterberg has released TwitNotes for the Notes 8 Standard Client. Although still a work in progress, it is a great example on the extensibility of the new Notes client built on Eclipse. This will allow developers to build applications for Notes without having to learn anything about Notes. It is almost like building applications for browsers.

The firemen came for another visit
Tue, Mar 25th 2008 12:20p Sean Burgess The Howard County Fire Department made another unscheduled trip to my house a couple of weeks ago while I was at the LCY event. The last time they were there, our new black cat had gotten himself high up in a tree and couldn't figure out how to get down. He was so high that we didn't have a ladder that got more than a third of the way up to where George was meowing. So we put the fire fighters to good use by having them rescue our cat out of a tree.

ASNDSort Library on OpenNTF
Tue, Mar 25th 2008 9:00a Sean Burgess As a Notes developer, I have never been really interested in sorting algorithms. For me, I just want to sort something ascending or descending and I don't really care how it works or which sort routine is better suited for a given task. That being said, from time to time, I have had to delve into the world of sorting and have compiled a LSS file that contains 3 of the more popular sorting routines: Bubble Sort, Quick Sort, and Merge Sort. This LSS file is now available in the Code Bin on Ope [read] Keywords: notes
