My 3rd Taproot project

A few days ago I received an email from another Account Director at Taproot asking if I would be interested in working on another project.  This is yet another advanced website project for Gift of Adoption.  Of course, I said yes.  Now waiting to talk to the Account Director about particulars of the project.
As a [...]

New opportunity – moving from Exchange to Lotus Notes

It is not often that I get to talk to companies looking to move from Exchange to Lotus Notes.  Every such conversation is a special treat to me.  So when I had one this week, I felt that I should mention it.
A partner of ours engaged me in a conversation with their client.  The client [...]

Why do they advertise ERs on billboards?

This falls into the category of things that baffle me…  Driving along I-355 in Chicago I noticed a large billboard advertising some local hospital.  The gist of the ad was that there is no waiting in their ER.  Now, this was maybe 3 hours ago but I already forgot the name of the hospital.  And [...]

Attachment editing in Evernote

This is so cool…

If you are a premium user of Evernote, you can attach any type of files to a Note.  The nice part is that if you open the attachment in whatever application for editing, make changes and save the file, it saves it right back into Evernote.  So you have round-trip editing of [...]

Tip – Quickly get to a folder in Lotus Notes

After all this years of using Lotus Notes as my mail client, I have finally discovered that the View/Folders pane supports type-ahead.
All you need to do, click on a view or a folder to select it.  You have to make sure that focus stays in the View/Folders pane.  If you’re already inside of your Inbox, [...]

Tip — Be careful what you put into your signature if your local mail file is set to pull down partial documents

If you are using a local HTML file for your signature, Notes 8.5 has a new feature where it will store the signature inside of your mail file. This is a great new feature. I cheered when Notes 8.5 informed me of what it was about to do. Running Notes on a [...]

Premium Evernote

I finally took the plunge and paid $45 for my 1 year premium subscription service for Evernote.  Gotta love how simple and easy the whole process was.  I paid online, synchronized my client and immediately it knew to give me premium features: more space (500 MB each month) and ability to attach any type of [...]

Are the Gods trying to tell me something?

A couple of days ago I picked up 3 new books at the library.  They happened to be Everything is Illuminated by Jonathan Safran Foer, The Master Sniper by Stephen Hunter and The Plot Against America by Philip Roth.  I didn’t plan it, I wasn’t thinking about it, but one way or another, all these books have to [...]

Just call me Thumper

“If you can’t say something nice, don’t say nothing at all”.  If you ever watched Disney’s Bambi, you may remember these words of eternal wisdom from Thumper.  Actually, he was repeating his father’s words, but since we never see Thumper’s dad, Thumper is the wise one here.
I have decided to try as much as possible [...]

2009 Lotusphere Comes To You dates and locations are now up on the IBM site.  I’m registered to attend the one in Chicago on April 9th.  I am curious to see what these events are going to be like.  I think this is the first time these events are to be held at an IBM [...]
