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.

Project Dauth: XPages FTW!
02/06/2010 02:26:13 PM by Chris Toohey
Based on feedback today I received across Twitter, Facebook, and LinkedIn, I've come to a decision with regard to Dauth -- my IBM Lotus Notes Domino Oauth-like Authentication Utility -- that I wanted to discuss with the community at large, and document as part of this Public Build. That decision is to develop Dauth with XPages versus traditional (read: pre-Lotus Notes Domino 8.5.1) Design Elements and techniques.
I could have gone either way with this to be honest, and the reason that I asked the community for advice on the approach to use for this application -- which I hope to eventually publish to OpenNTF.org -- was simple: I went back and forth with my want to develop at the front of the curve and the fact that doing so would potentially alienate those IT professionals in Notes Shops that haven't been able to upgrade to the latest versions of IBM Lotus Notes Domino.
In the end, it was words of wisdom from my wife combined with a jaw-dropping weigh-in from Chris Whisonant:
@christoohey if u don't make it xpages only, then make sure it works with only IE6 too... ;) #MakeEmUpgrade
Kinda put the whole thing in perspective...
So I will be diving into developing both the Lotus Notes Client UI and the Lotus Domino HTTP API for Dauth via XPages, SSJS, and Themes. I'll keep the build as public as possible via screencasts, quick audio clips, and of course posting updates to the site. For those interested, stay tuned!
