I don’t post much about my job, but this was the nice writeup that my manager sent out to all of IT earlier this week about my new role.
I am pleased to announce that Derek Punaro has been promoted to IT Information Architect, a new job title created for the Sharewaves07 Collaboration Support team. [...]

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 something that’s as close to cutting edge as we get at Praxair – [...]

Mondays are why they invented coffee, and sometimes I should have multiple cups before laying hands on the keyboard.
My supervisor is on vacation this week, so it is a particularly good time to NOT cause any major catastrophes. As I eased into the morning, I needed to take a glance at our agent log [...]

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 in the address book, showing their manager, their peers, and their subordinates, all based [...]

Hehehe… Ed Brill is in Singapore this week and posted this photo from the Lotusphere Comes to You conference:

I’ve been to Lotusphere in Orlando three times, and I’ve never seen that kind of advertising. Seems like something more out of SEMA than Big Blue.

So far, this week at work has been mostly about this little gem. Microsoft lost a patent lawsuit with Eolas, a company with yet another stupid technology patent for embedding a plugin in a webpage, using something simple and logical like an <embed> tag. Since Microsoft lost this lawsuit, they’re changing IE so [...]

After my weekend in front of the computer, I’ve been trying to stay away as much as possible. But I’m sure some of the Lotus readers are interested in an update… so… after three days in operation there have been no reported issues! One of my placetypes ended up with a couple conflict [...]

Well, I finally finished going through all the QuickPlaces removing conflict docs. This brings the QuickPlace upgrade to a close…. or does it? Well it would, but it seems that somewhere along the line the address book on our production internet server decided to play hide and seek with some of our [...]

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 and running the agent to select the docs, then deleting them with a quick [...]

All the QuickPlace functionality is working, but somehow my two existing PlaceTypes ended up with save/replication conflicts in them, which promptly caused them to be inherited into most of my places. My first shot at creating an agent to delete them deleted all the docs in the QDK view, which kills the place completely. [...]
