Stuart tweetedsome time ago: "If IBM had architected and implemented Partnerworld for a paying customer, do you think they'd have been sued? ". It has been in 'things to be blogged' folder for a while.
ibm.com and underlying web sites are very good candidates for 'worst vendor sites ever'!
I found that Lotus Quickr Entry 8.5 does not exist on the passport advantage. It has been discontinued quietly (I could not find any announcement about it).
Hey, calm down, it is not that bad, because, according to rumors (!), a better replacement is on the way...
Several weeks ago Volker Weber (one of the most popular and divergent bloggers in the community) blogged about XPages and its future.
Vowe mentions about a speculation of building WAS implementation about XPages. It reminded me a constant argument about 'thinking/marketing/selling Domino server as an application development environment'. BTW the argument is so old that Ed Brill blogged in 2003: "Another conspiracy element addressed" :)
At last, I have completed my research thesis for the graduate study at Management Engineering. Yesterday, the board decided I am done and able to graduate finally :)
About social capital:
This is funny. I frequently see this error page but don't know why...
IBM announced that Lotus Notes/Domino 8.5.1 FP5 packages are ready to be downloaded. The fix pack contains several critical fixes and is recommended for all 8.5.1 users. It is also incremental and contains all fixes in prior fix-packs.
Fix list contained by FP4 can be seen on: http://www-10.lotus.com/ldd/R5FixList.nsf/WhatsNew/f6845493d26dccb08525778f004e421a?OpenDocument

Out of Office agent means problem for an average system administrator. Many users complaint their agent does not work properly. Sometimes, they simply don't wait to get response, or don't know they will receive only one response for each sender. However, in some cases the issue is related with the configuration of server, database or ACL.
IBM Lotus support released this useful tool to troubleshoot some basic issues. It also provides a couple of utility to fix multiple database ACL settings or configuration.
As warned on the technote, be careful to run the utility...

IBM has changed the licensing model at the beginning of 2010 and promoted Lotus Mobile Connect client licenses to enterprise customers. I have posted a Turkish entry about LMC and this is the English version with a little extension. I try to summarize some key features of this great product.
