Today, I thought I would go out to http://www.bleedyellow.com, the Lotus connection site so see what was happening. I hadn’t been out there for quite some time.
In fact, I’ve been trying to figure out the benefits of using it. I created a community for the Lotus Professionals in Asia and a few members joined. I was able to directly connect to those members, so that’s one benefit of the site.
Other than that, I couldn’t figure out what else to do. Read the rest of this entry »
Today, I built a new server on a machine with Virtual PC. I’m testing an R6.5.6 to R7 upgrade plan.
This was the first time that I have used Virtual PC. It seemed to work pretty well, except that the mouse scrolling was horribly slow compared to it’s host machine. Perhaps, I should be access the virtual PC with RDP instead of it’s correlating host.
I got the server installed, setup, and put the finishing touches on the servers document. I tried to access the server with a client, no problem, then the admin client. Suddenly, my admin client locks up. Read the rest of this entry »
This is a little simple tip, but one that could save admins time when trying to get all their users up to the same mail template in a mixed mail template environment.

Like most of you, I glean my information from various sources: Blogs, IBM Notes/Domino FAQ Newsletter, Notes Discussion forums at IBM, IBM technote searches, custom Notes/Domino google searches, Stumbleupon, delicious.com, and various other newsletters such as the searchdomino.techtarget.com or LotusUserGroup, etc.
I just recently signed up for LinkedIn and joined a few Notes/Domino groups. I haven’t done much with it yet, but here’s my public profile http://www.linkedin.com/in/davidkillingsworth.
Today, I received a LinkedIn post with an answer which pointed to Technote 1196837 – Using a Desktop Policy to set notes.ini and Location parameters.
I really wish I had seen this technote a very long time ago.
Technote 1287154 was updated on October 24th.

Thankfully, we’ve just finally started planning an upgrade from 6.5.6FP3 to 7.03(4)
I’ve gone around turning on Message Tracking and enabling weekly and monthly reports for all of my servers. We’re running out of disk space fast and we’re trying a multiple prong approach on tackling the problem.
We’re looking specifically at exactly who is sending large attachments.
After the happy Halloween and end of the month, I went around this morning to build a spreadsheet from the data in the reports.nsf on all the servers for the Top 25 Monthly Senders By Size. On a couple of servers, the report only contained “Internal error, unable to open Reports database” Read the rest of this entry »
