    Happy Birthday and Alles Gute, Codestore :-)

    Jake, I am also following your site since 2000, that is really a long time in IT.

    While you are still doing Domino I was drifting away from it many years ago. At first I was doing some Visual Basic development, mostly with MS Access, then SQL , Java and many other things followed. Always trying to stay in the job and getting enough work load (although I was always an employee).

    Maybe you remember that I even asked you to help us getting rid of our hundreds of Domino apps in order to bring them on the intranet.

    Not long after that I left the company (where I worked for 10 years) and changed to SAP development. Now there is work enough to do and no end in sight.

    I think you also have to change your focus and do something new (maybe even Sharepoint ;-) .

    And having many readers today who are not doing Domino development any more I am pretty sure that many readers will follow you or you will get new readers if you have enough cool projects on the run. I still think you would fit very much into the CouchDB direction. You could even jump on the 'migrate away from Domino' bandwagon using CouchDB as a replacement.

    Or you also move over to the SAP world. There are many new markets evolving in the field of web portals and mobile devices.

    What makes me really wondering is that there are so many cool Domino products available today like Quickr, Lotus Live, MashUps etc but everybody is leaving Domino behind...

    I wish you good luck for Codestore and RockAll. I bet there are brighter times to come for you...

    Mark
