Products & Applications

Showtime
My Blackberry Enterprise Server Push Utility for the Lotus Notes Client, allows you to create Jobs for individual Channel, Message, and Browser Content Pushes, as well as allows you to delete Pushed Channel Icons from defined recipient devices.

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.

Introducing Now() + n: Future Proofing your Domino Application Development

07/28/2009 03:27:17 PM by Chris Toohey

With upgrades being released - let alone implemented - a step or more behind the latest usage experiences, Web 3.0 UIs, and features that make customers actually want to use your solutions, the need to develop applications with a mind to tomorrow's standards and codebase is absolutely critical.

So what can we do today to keep our application development efforts more future proof?

In this series - Now() + n - I'll review what we have available to use today, what the latest releases of Lotus products and services allow, and what we can do to make our code and designs last far beyond a six month shelf-life.

I'll be focusing on the BX development environment, and I plan on discussing things from the various Design Elements that can be leveraged in the NotesDatabase. I also plan on discussing things like the effective use of Internet Site Documents and Website Rules, as well as eventually discussing the extension of Domino Applications to alternate onsite and offsite/cloud technologies.

It will be an ongoing series with no end in sight. The larger articles I'll cross-post on the Domino Designer Wiki, and I'd like to include some of the "richer" methods of content sharing - including video and screencasts showcasing the topic, and possibly doing some scheduled Q&A call-ins (recorded and published post-event).

If you have suggestions for topics to cover, please feel free to comment to this post or send me an email. Several people have already emailed me or been in touch otherwise with me - on topics such as Web-enabling a Lotus Notes Client application or extending the feature functionality to thin-clients, so that's the type of things you can expect from the Now() + n series.
