In this month's Domino "Power" magazine Andrew Stuart issues a belated acknowledgement of source. In it he refers to my site as a weblog. This got me worried. It's not a weblog. It's a site that happens to have a weblog as its homepage. I hope you guys aren't forgetting that I also spend time writing articles. A new one was published yesterday. Are people still reading them? Feedback has been slow on my most recent efforts.

Is it me or does anybody else find SearchDomino.com extremely hard to use? For instance, where would you expect to find my site's listing among the Best Web Links section? HTML? XML? Nope - LotusScript! To make it worse they describe the site as "code snippets". Snippets!? They also say I cover WAP, COM and CORBA. Do I? Not to my knowledge. I mailed them a week ago and there has been no reply or change. To coin an Americanism - that site sucks.

Having a generic title like Codestore almost guarantees you won't be the only one out there. I found this software called codestore a while ago and was impressed by how simply useful it was. Another similar example was mailed to me today by my mate Matt Clarke. Dev Pad is a little more advanced though... both are freeware.
