I do RSS

Posted on November 29, 2006 by Derek

It’s not often that I talk about work. Frankly, I talk enough about work… at work. Besides, I know that most of you don’t want to hear the geeky details of my daily work life anyways. Today, however, I launched … Continue reading →

Just call me Mr. Derp

Posted on October 23, 2006 by Derek

Posted on June 8, 2006 by Derek

Not a title you’d typically expect for a Lotus-geek related post, but I’m using it for good reason. A couple years ago I came up with this org chart hierarchy database that would create a visual representation of a person … Continue reading →

Quickplace upgrade, hour 71

Posted on February 20, 2006 by Derek

Quickplace upgrade, hour 65

Posted on February 20, 2006 by Derek

Well, the overnight design refresh pushed my agent into all of the places on the server, so that’s good. I’ve decided not to risk modifying the agent to automatically delete the conflict docs, so I’m going into each place one-by-one … Continue reading →
