Time Tracker
The idea is simple. At the start of your day - upon completion of your first task - create an entry highlighting what you did and whether you feel it was an efficient or inefficient use of your time. Based on several requests, you can also select the priority, apply categories, or even align your time against a project.
For Lotus Notes Client v8.0 and above, you can use the Time Tracker Widget to make this process even easier!
Zephyr
My Configuration-based Rich Text Mail Merge and Emailing Utility, Zephyr allows you to create rich, data-driven emails to support automated workflow - all via Microsoft Word Mail Merge-like architecture. Dear <firstname> allows you to personalize each email message not only to the individual recipient, but also to the individual application workflow event!
xCopy
xCopy is a simple configurable xCopy client for the Lotus Notes client. By creating and defining xCopy Profiles, you can batch process your file backup or remote upload jobs. With the addition of the xCopy sidebar widget, you can easily kick-off these jobs, and modify both the xCopy Profiles and xCopy itself.

Using IBM Lotus Notes Domino Internet Site Document Redirect Rules (or Update your RSS Readers!)
01/27/2010 01:12:10 PM by Chris Toohey
A while back I mentioned that I was moving the RSS Feed for dominoGuru.com to FeedBurner. I wanted to redirect User Agents (be they web browsers, bots, and so on) from http://www.dominoguru.com/feed.xml to http://feeds.feedburner.com/dominoGuru.
Today, I setup a Redirect Rule in case you haven't updated your feed readers. I'm using an Internet Site Document Redirect Rule to ensure that I capture the User Agent and issue a 302 Response. The idea here is to be as seamless to the User Agent, which is not only good UX design, but also important for search engine optimization.
I've been using Internet Site Documents for a while -- both in my project and customer development and for dominoGuru.com -- and have always had excellent results. Using a Redirect Rule is really no different: you simply take the incoming pattern and define your external destination URL.
If you have any questions on this technique (that aren't answered via the above screencap), or using Internet Site Documents in Lotus Notes Domino, let me know and I'll put together a more detailed article!






I was wondering: Why not use the 301 redirect option (a checkbox as far as I remember)? This would make more sense - since the redirect is permament. ...or is it just me :-)
@Christian:
In this case, I want the permanent redirect (which is why I went with a 302). That, and a 302 is what IBM Lotus Domino issues with Redirect Rules, so...
Chris,
I have a server that hosts 2 web sites, each of them using a different login page. I have an issue when opening a link that looks like www.myserver.com/mydb.nsf/myView/myDocument
What happens is that once logged in (ACL default access to no access), he is redirected to the home page that is set in my site document. Would some kind of redirect link be needed to fix that issue? If so, what should I put in the incoming URL field? I'm a developer, not an admin, and I am a bit puzzled by redirect settings... Thanks for the help.
Ben
