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.

Adding Admin-defined Color-coding to Lotus Notes View rows via Color Profile Documents
01/05/2009 10:47:50 AM by Chris Toohey
While working on the Public Build Event Calendar project, I found myself adding two things to the application that I thought might prove useful to Lotus Notes client developers. The first I'll discuss today when we cover how you can use a simple Profile document to apply View row color-coding logic to your Lotus Notes applications.
For those if you who are -- like me -- more visually minded:
I'm using my Preferences example application as my springboard here, which will allow me to easily:
Define a runtime formula that will evaluate against the NotesDocuments in my color-coded NotesView in my "Preference" NotesDocument through a combination of
ColorFields,Textfields to store my templated Formula and my@ReplaceSubString-evaluated runtime formula.
The runtime formula Formula is then written into a Profile NotesDocument (which I've named "colorprofile"), into a NotesItem on that Profile NotesDocument (which I've named "colorstatus").In my target NotesViews, I create a hidden ViewColumn, specifying that this column is to "Use value as color", that it is "User definable", and that "Profile Document" that holds the runtime formula for the Color-coding matches the same name of my Profile NotesDocument ("colorprofile").
Additionally, on the Advanced tab in the Column Properties, I make sure that the Programatic Name of said Column matches that of the defined NotesItem on the "colorprofile" storing the runtime formula I wish to use for this particular NotesView (ie., "colorstatus").
I then specify a simple Formula for the Column that will allow me to (should I choose) specify a unqiue color scheme. In this case, I'm using@UserName.Now, at runtime, my runtime formula is evaluated and the color-coding applied to my NotesView!
For those of you who -- again, like me -- prefer a hands-on demo:
The aforementioned second topic - which I'll try to get out tomorrow - will have us creating a simple Calendar-type NotesView, and using the RegionDoubleClick Event to pre-set the Starting Date and Time of a new NotesDocument based on your location/region at the time of your double-click! This approach is discussed (and used) in the Event Calendar Public Build project (Episode 2, I believe) - so if you want to you can check that out now!

Nice Chris! Have you been able to figure out how to highlight the selected row in a view like in the Notes 8 Standard client/mail template? I spent a couple of days on this and never was able to figure it out.
