Notes Reloaded
Don't worry, I'm not about to talk about the film. Because of the title of this post that is. Did you read it? It's called "Notes Reloaded". Sorry, I shouldn't of assumed you did. It annoys me when I read blogs and the entry starts off with the assumption you read the title. I often don't bother and end up confused as anything.
Anyway, Notes Reloaded is the name of Rune Carlsen's new application. It's basically a way of restarting Notes after it's crashed and left some tasks still running in the background. It's happened to us all I'm sure. Although, I have to say, my install of Notes 6 has been very well behaved so far...
Which reminds me - anybody remember this? Naughty Cassetica!

Hey - Jake - long time no read codestore! just stumbled in after a long while away and wondered howcome this has devolved into a boring romance novel instead of singularly helpful programming tips...how about a slight return to what made this site a favorite bookmark in the past...thanks for your hard work...
Interesting point "Boston Notes Girl" (god I hate it when people that have the balls to pick fault but not the balls to use a/their real name).
It's boring maybe because I am boring. Maybe it's because I am bored. Maybe it's because I am bored of Notes. Maybe it's because I am out of work. Maybe I don't use Notes as much as I used to and hence my source of tips has run dry. Got any *you* can share?
Don't worry, I've not taken offence at what you said, as I don't think you meant any. Just that it is a good point. However, people who don't run sites like mine can have no idea how hard it can be at times. I don't have an endless supply of tips to share. Sometimes I don't have enough time to write articles. What I do do however is keep the site alive. Then, *when* I find something worth sharing, believe me, I WILL. In the mean time you have to put up with reading about *me*. If you don't like that then it's hard cheese.
Personally, I do not think that this is a boring romance novel. In fact, I find this quite a cool idea. It brings out the more "human" and emotional side of us. It is not about programming all the time. It is about living life.
sorry if I struck a nerve . . . i used to get such as kick out of the site, and while I've also enjoyed seeing your holiday pictures and bike riding pictures and family barbeques, etc., since I hadn't tuned in regularly in about seven months, I was trying to search back to see when the first post about Karen was, it seemed to be April 2003, and was making a tongue in cheek uncool jab at finding out - is this still the focus of the site - or did I miss some announcement that the regulars would have seen, that the site is really just a blog. At least I would then know how to categorize the site in my bookmarks, not that I wouldn't regularly visit, because I think you're a sexy, cool programming dude, but I won't be expecting singularly brilliant programming articles and tips. By the way, the name is April Grier and I work in domino programming for a University in Boston, Mass, USA.
I have a tip - or at least what I believe to be an undocumented feature of R6 discovered by accident.
As a user since R3.3 days I have always been fond of workspace and despite the features of Home aka bookmark.nsf introduced in R5 have stuck with workspace as my "home page" throughout R5 days.
A recent client load of R6 has however caused me to relook at bookmark.nsf in the new version. I still don't like it in its native form - none of the templates quite do want I want - but I do like the ability to drag & drop databases, web links, and applications onto the Notes desktop.
Could I easily recreate this with a custom launcher database I asked myself. Yes it semms - the "drag & drop" bit of bookmark.nsf is a custom hidden outline called (Personalpage-Links) but it doesn't show in designer or in the drop down when you do "Create, Embedded Element". You can however cut & paste it - in bookmark.nsf create a new Home page, choose personal page, layout A - in edit mode open the Links section and just cut & paste the embedded outline into your application. You can then change the outline font, colour etc in the normal way.
Now you can create a highly customised launcher database that features all that you want it to and keep that extremely useful drag & drop stuff without a massive code rewrite.
April. You did strike a nerve but I don't hold it against you. You're not the only one to be thinking the same thing. I think it too. The site does need to return to its old ways. Just need to find the time in the day... oh and the inclination
Jake,
How about a cool article about how to create HTML compliant Domino Apps ?
I am trying but keep hitting walls, like trying to use the embedded file upload control.
If you could make it for R5 that would be even better ;-)
Jake,
interesting idea - are you adding an "upload" function to Codestore, so that you become more a moderator/facilitator and less a teacher/lecturer ? ;o)
Actually, you have quite a bank of tips here, it's just dang hard to find 'em.

Sounds like you are as fed up with Lotus Notes as me. If I have to another $$viewtemplatecobblers ... arrg.
Jim G - I am having trouble understanding. You can drag files on to the bookmark.nsf?
Mark - Give up. It's not worth the effort.
Patrick - there is an ideas upload feature - AKA - my email address.
Jake - Last time I checked you don't charge anyone to read the content on your site. You gotta have a life. When you get back in the swing we'll all be here to eat it up. Amazing how people complain about free stuff, eh?

How do you protect the email addresses from spambots? I've got a problem that I get a lot of spam mail on my club email address and I thinkn it's generated by those damned spambots.
So, I would be very interested as to learn how you prevent spambots from reading these addresses.
I don't think that anyone can really "sling mud" unless they run a website themselves. Hell, 'blogging sounds easier than it is if you care about the content that you're publishing. After running a site (not as good mind you but I don't think it totally sucks ;-) ) for close to a year I know what it's like - sometimes you don't want to talk about Domino!
As for the HTML, you can get 4.01 W3C compliance for the output rather easily, but the application front - depending on what you're looking to do - can be a damned nightmare.

Yes - you can drag & drop all sorts onto your bookmark.nsf in 6
