Tak po hodně dlouhá době zase oživuji svůj blog. Sice asi nějak tuším že stejně nebudu psát příspěvky moc často, ale následující věc prostě musím sdělit:
Naše firma Pylonware má také novou aplikaci "Datové schránky" pro Lotus Notes !
(Stahuje zprávy z vícero schránek, rozesílá informační maily a může ukládat zprávy přímo do jiných databází, atd...)

Detailní popis najdete zde.  
Screenshoty jsou tady.
A POZOR ! Plně funkční TRIAL-VERZI si můžete stáhnout zde.

For quite some time I am using the Firefox Add on "Fireshot" which I can recommend. It is a nice little screenshot editor which contains exactly the few functions which i use (crop, blur, add pointers and comments).
The freeware version works only for web-pages. Today I have discovered that there is a new Fireshot version also for IE. (Which i nice, because I do also some ASP.NET development which is IE-only).
More info can be found here.

PS: The software will run in "simple mode" as freeware, but it will offer you a "pro version" which is  shareware.

I am redoing my notebook and while planning the migration i have created a list of all software which i use.
It contains quite a lot of freeware tools which might be of some use for you as well.
So if you want to have a look ...

I have just checked that our Domino 8.0.1 server on Ubuntu 8.04 runs without any problems for 60 days.
And it is actually installed as a partitioned server, where the other instance runs a  SameTime 8.0 Server.
No problems there at all !

And from the next Domino relaeas (8.5) Ubuntu will be an officially supported platform.  :-)

I have now added a CACert.org logo to the blog.
And I wanted to say that I am an "CACert.org Assurer" (who can assign the full 35 points).
If anyone wants to get free digital certificates then you can contact me a I will be happy to help.
Even more if you are interested, and can make it to Prague, then you can come to our company and get assured in one place by even more people.
Oh and of course for free. :-)

More information can be found here.

I have changed the URL of my blog to the shorter version:  http://hynek.kobelka.cz
The former url will be still working.

At first I have to say that ILUG 2008 was fantastic !
It really is a very different kind of conference than usual IBM events or DNUG event which i have attended.
Thanks for organising this for us.

In short these are the two main things which i took home with me:
A) If you don't have a blog, then it's like you don't exist at all.
    Everybody there has one. (Some might even have more)
    This is also the reason why I revived my own blog, which I haven't used for quite a long time.
    I have decided to give it an other try, but to be realistic i will commit only to one or two posts a week.

B) IBM does actually know about ALL the things which have to be done to make Lotus Notes a top notch 21st century application.
     And they are working on it. They just need more time !
     No it is not going to come in 8.5.  But some day it will.

1) Pixels as measurement unit
Add "Pixels" as an additional measurement unit for margins, table sizes and wherever possible.This would make it easier to exactly postion tables and texts.

2) Dockable tables
Make tables "dockable".This means that they can be placed "on top" of each without even one pixel between them.

3) Could we get a debugger for Java ?
Most developers are used to Lotus-Script. They would not have much of a problem to write scripts in Java. The general syntax can be learned in a few hours and the main knowledge lies actually in the object-modell of the Notes-Classes, which are identical to LotusScript. However what we are missing is a step-by-step code debugger like the one for LotusScript. Once we get this you will see immedialtely a increased usage of Java in LN.

4) Computed View-Column-Titles
Right now you have to use „fixed“ text values in column titles. This makes it difficult to design multi-language applications as it is not acceptable to create several copies of a view only to get proper titles on it. Everywere else (forms,outlines,... )we can easily compute texts so why not here.

GENERAL REQUESTS

1. Easier Changing Of Passwords
Display a "Change Password"-Button in some place where it is easy to find (Menu „File – Change Password“, log-on dialog , password-expired-dialog !!!) The users can’t find this function too often. Once the password expires automatically offer the user to change it !

2. Remove the "Random Password Generator"
Well does anybody even heard of someone who uses it ?

3. Make the messagebox "You have to change the password i X days" into a text
Most users still use the time untill the last day before changing the password. It would be better if they would not have to "confirm" this messagebox every day. A simple text inside the password-dialog should be enough.

If anybody needs to create replicas for several databases with script , he will find out that the only available method (NotesDatabase.CreateReplica) creates a "full" replica including all documents. This can take a lot of time if the database size is large. There is no way in script how to create only a "replication stub" of a database, like you can if you do this manually form the client. However there is a workaround for this (as always:-))) ...
