As I wrote a couple of weeks ago I had an issue with Sametime since the server-upgrade to version 8.0.2. Whenever a user that was logged in to Sametime using the Notes or Connect client also logged in to iNotes or Quickr with awareness enabled he/she was logged out from the other client.

Today IBM came up with a solution (thanks to Gerard Mullin!!):

on the Sametime server:
- In the directory <Domino data directory>\domino\html\sametime\stlinks\signed there is a signed copy of stlinks.jar.
- In the directory <Domino data directory\domino\html\sametime\stlinks there is the stlinks.jar that the users download for iNotes or Quickr etc.
- Rename the copy of the stlinks.jar in the stlinks folder to stlinks.jar.old, and copy in the a copy of the signed stlinks.jar.
On the client
- Clear the java cache on the user's client PC. In Control Panel -> Java -> Temporary Internet Files -> Settings.. -> Delete Files...








Everything works fine again!

I have several customers that run Notes with the users data directories on a file server. We always strip the number of templates down to the minimum set required, but that will still mean about 15 MB per user, which in a 2.000 user environment is a lot of data.

So, what we do is put the templates on the local disk and just create database link files in the users data directory. The link files are just small text files with the same filename as the template and with just one line in it, containing the path and filename of the actual template.

For instance for pernames.ntf we create a text file calles pernames.ntf with as content c:\lotus\notes\data\pernames.ntf.

We also tried putting the templates on the Domino server and the point the text file to !!pernames.ntf. This worked just fine during testing but not in a production environment. As soon as two users need to use the same template at the same time, which is especially happening after an upgrade, users will get an error.

Ook dit jaar organiseert e-office, in samenwerking met IBM, een Lotusphere comes to you event. Met 4 e-officers zijn we naar Lotusphere geweest, en we delen graag wat we daar geleerd hebben.
Niet alleen op technisch gebied, maar zeker ook wat voor waarde de Lotus portfolio heeft voor een bedrijf.

Lotus als katalysator voor innovatie!
In deze economisch roerige tijden waar ontslagen, faillissementen, kostenbesparingen en investeringsstops aan de orde van de dag zijn, informeren wij u graag over de vernieuwde Lotus producten van IBM. Hiervoor organiseert e-office op donderdag 5 maart een speciale Lotusphere comes to you-sessie.

Douglas Spencer van IBM geeft een overzicht van de ontwikkelingen op Lotus gebied. De twee parallelsessies daarna gaan dieper in op de ondersteuning die Lotus producten u kunnen bieden en de techniek achter de innovatieve Lotus oplossingen.

Het programma staat hier, aanmelden kan ook via die pagina.

I have now posted a version of the tool that no longer deletes the file platform.xml at the end and therefore takes away the risk of trashing your Notes configuration.

Just download the zip-file and unzip the 3 files form the zip file to a directory. Start the executable ModNotesCSS-RGB.exe and select your color.

After running the tool and selecting your color, just start Notes, go to Preferences, Windows and Themes, select a different theme and click on Apply. Then select the theme you were using and again click on Apply. Your new unread color will show up in your mailfile.

You can download the tool here.

At e-office we've got a couple of Twitter enthousiasts (http://twitter.com/Winchert). We use Twitnotes, Tweetdeck and TwitterBerry, but we've created our own Twitter widget; the iTwidget to Twitter from Lotus Connections.

Lotus Connections 2.5 was announced during LotuSphere. Great news ofcourse since a couple of important functions will be added and some functionality will be extendend. In short those will be:

• a wiki will be added (!)
  
• files will be added
  
• profiles will get a status update (a bit Twitterish)
• communities will be extended with blog, wiki, actitivies and files
• the community owner will be able to change the look and feel of the community
• a great newsstream in the homepage
• Connections will have a mobile version
  

Two good posts have already described in detail what the new functionality will be and truly, I couldn't do any better :)

Today my collegue Louise announced that after 15 years she will be leaving e-office. Although I already knew that this was coming for a while, I must admit that a few tears were shed.

I have had the pleasure of working together with Louise for 13 years, in which period we did several small and large Domino projects together. Louise is one of the ultimate Yellow Bleeders.

Fortunately she will not be moving to the dark side but has accepted a permanent position as Domino administrator/architect at one of our customers.

I will truly miss Louise but I am sure that we will stay in touch and hopefully I will meet her at Lotusphere 2010....
