Products & Applications
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.

Something happened while testing Remote Console...
07/20/2010 04:29:37 PM by Chris Toohey
I have a BlackBerry 9700 - which is the latest device to be released on the AT&T network. It's the best BlackBerry device on the market today.
My brother-in-law stopped over the house this past weekend for my oldest son's birthday. He (my brother-in-law) has an iPhone 3G. Not a 3GS, or even an iPhone 4 with duct tape... but a 2-generation old device. After dinner (and cake), I asked if I could borrow his iPhone for testing my soon-to-be-released Remote Console app.
I was shocked by how much easier it was to navigate the application, how much faster it loaded (his iPhone 3G over spotty-coverage AT&T 3G, my BlackBerry 9700 cheating over WiFi), and ultimately how much I enjoyed the user experience of the iPhone.
It made me remember that my 9700 camera zoom wasn't working.
It made me remember that I couldn't directly upload video from my mobile device to YouTube.
It made me realize just how much I hated my 9700 for its thousand different little cuts.
I had made up my mind that I was going to get an iPhone 4 and swear off BlackBerry devices.
Then I remembered OS6 is coming. I remembered the new Webkit-based browser (which apparently rocks).
I remembered the upcoming release of the BlackBerry 9800, complete with the Palm Pre-style form factor.
The vendor is attempting to give what some might say is a dying platform -- despite it's hold in the enterprise -- new life with the addition on more globally-leverages technologies.
... but this is the last straw. If the BlackBerry 9800 doesn't address this consumers needs, I'm really going to push for the less-secure, more globally adopted by people I actually know, platform.
It started with a single app, but might end with me moving away from a platform I've used for years now...

one of us... one of us... resistance is futile.
Those of us that have been using touch screen phones for the last 5 years or more (I had some 10 years ago from Siemens and Nokia) may not understand the hoopla around the iPhone.
I have had an HTC device, touch screen, for the better part of the last 4 years or so on AT&T and I like my phone a lot. But I also wanted a keyboard, so I have the Tilt-2 and it is a WM device.
Say what you want about the OS but the phone works well, does multitask fine and tethers, wifi and a bunch of other things.
No it doesn't have Shazam or any other useless app, but runs Traveler, Sametime, Google Maps with excellent voice commands, Remote Consoles, Adobe, Facebook app included, Flash and Office suites. In short, it does everything I NEED it to do. Would it be nice to have some fun things to do on it, perhaps, but I don't care.
My wife got an iPhone 4 and can't stop playing with it. You see she had a Curve and well, didn't understand why I liked my touch screen "heavy" phone. For the record, weight of a Tilt-2=6.30 oz (178 g), iPhone4=4.8 ounces (137 grams). Damn those 2 ounces are so heavy. grin.
Now she is amazed at all she could be doing when I told her she could have been doing this for years. I may like an Android next, HTC designs their phones, but I have a year or so to think about it. So my suggestion is try them all out first, do not be seduced by what you have missed on your phone.
That path leads to the dark side. Kinda like my competitive discussions in messaging sometimes, "you use R5 still"?!
