DOTS (Domino OSGi Tasklet Service) project has been contributed into OpenNTF last year. Basically, it provides a way to create server tasks for Java developers.
This is huge. Basically we could run our Java code in a similar way with a couple of other techniques, but DOTS provide many advantages. I'll dive deep on this in a seperate blog post. For now, take it as a teaser :)
I've been in UKLUG lately. I heard lots of discussions about test platform for IBM Connections.
People who wants to implement new deployments, develop and test widgets or customize user interface, all need to install Connections.
So I just wanted to blog about my test platform. I'm currently doing some Connections business and my customers are expecting UI customization, error trapping, configuration changes, etc. Therefore, I have installed a full Connections image on my computer.
IBM finally decided to announce that the last major yellow word in the community has changed... Lotusphere event has been renamed as "IBM Connect" and Lotusphere has become a sub-event or so now.
I'm an author in an additional blog for more than a year. As a scientific skeptic blog, we are posting articles or short entries about hoaxes, legends, pseudo-science, alternative medicine, bad science news and similar stuff.
At the begining of this year, we have invited more authors to the group and we have become a micro-community. While we were using Google Groups, after a couple of weeks, it became a serious problem for group members to engage the discussion due to the e-mail over-loading.
Six weeks passed since my last post...
I have worked on XSnippets (OpenSearch support), xInvolve (Version 2.0 released) and a new OpenNTF project named VeryShort...
Not much time left for blogging. I'll make up for it :)
Stay tuned...
I am blogging for more than two years. It's like a part-time job. I am doing this sacrificing my 'life' and 'time'. Many people attribute me and this is a great pleasure...
But sharing my ideas or knowledge on the WEB doesn't mean that people can steal them 'COMPLETELY ' without my approval even with an attribution !
Today we have added a very simple feature to XPages.info site. It provides an integrated search functionality to be used with browsers.
Here how to use it:
"Dotless i" problem is the most profitable area in my revenue stream :)
Since the beginning of my career, I found and isolated dozens of bugs simply related to 'dotless-i'.
Yesterday, I presented at LUGTR XPages Workshop. We have heavily concentrated on transition to XPages development from traditional Domino programming.
I am hearing a very common sentence more and more:
My first article "Custom Controls --- Basic Concepts and Techniques for Getting Started" has been published on The View magazine.
This is the beginning of a series of articles about custom controls. In the first part, I have focused on differences between custom controls and subforms, basic usage of custom control properties and some features around reusability.
