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.

RIM's Blackberry Connections Client - First Impressions (Part 2)

RIM's Blackberry Connections Client - First Impressions - Part 1
So, once installed, I was greeted with a really slick v8-esc Connections Client icon:

Check out Chris's article to get the how-to on connecting with your BleedYellow credentials.


Once in, we see the Connections Client home page - giving us access to Profiles, Dogears, Communities*, Blogs*, and Activities*.

Profile Search is pretty slick, allowing us to use the Profiles as a Mobile Directory, with call-out capabilities - very cool!


Dogears - this can be useful for the maintenance of mobile device client-friendly links and resources.



The rest of the client - and this is what loses me - is simply links to the web implementations of Communities, Blogs, and Activities.
Yeah - Activities isn't handled in this local client - W.T.F?!
So, to sum up:
- RIM doesn't know how to get me the app.
- Thankfully, our community rocks!
- It looks purty...
- Profiles and Profile Search will give you a pseudo-mobile directory on your device - pretty slick.
- Dogears... ok, I can see where this might be useful.
- Communities and Blogs - meh, grab a feed reader.
- By far the biggest let-down: Activities are not maintained in the device.
That's my "First Impressions" having used this for the past few days, and while it's looks slick and I'll certainly use the Profiles - I'm looking forward to the next release in hopes that they'll include Activites.






Sounds vaguely familiar as I had the exact same impressions...
