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.

Rapid-Fire Updates

Things have been quite busy here - both with the Toohey family and with work. So much so, that I've got a ton of updates that need to get out there. So here's a few items of interest (possibly - I'm biased) that I thought I'd quick-blog about for a few moments...

First and foremost, we had two birthdays (3, if you count Holly - our Bernese Mountain puppy dog) - my two oldest just got a little older. Here's a shot of us, taken by my wife, right before we dive into our birthday cake:

The Tooheys

Fun, and high amounts of sugar, was had by all!

Next, I joined Facebook (http://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=699736317), delving into the pseudo-social/business networking world. I have to admit, I'm completely new to that end of the web - I don't have a MySpace account, as I never really saw the need (I have my own site; you're on it!). So we'll see how things go...

And now, for something that I think will actually interest you fellow geeks out there...

I put together a simple "utility" that will allow the export of data to Microsoft Excel, based on "Export Templates". Each "Export Template" holds an Excel spreadsheet (which I use for the "target template") as well as formula-based "metrics" which can either be configured to export data to a given cell (think Battleship) or simply export-in-order.

I have the write-up half-done, and the example waiting in the wings... but this is where you come in - how do you want it? Do you just want the components of the database - all ready to go - sitting inside of a blank database, or do you want said components in a dummy database, with dummy information, etc.?

I'll try and delay the publishing of the article until I hear from a good bunch of individuals on what the more beneficial way of getting the technique/example out there is... but if I don't hear from anyone soon enough I'll just publish the darn thing. That being said - comment away!
