Paul Mooney was kind enough to remind everyone how to pre-populate the (yes sucky but it is there) RSS reader in Notes just recently in his 5 year old blog.
If you need help in learning what OPML is or how to bring it into your readers let me know!
| In an effort to provide a service to the Lotus community, I have all the PlanetLotus feeds in OPML format attached to this document above What does this mean to you? Well if you want to pre-populate the RSS database in Notes you can. If you wish to connect to me on Google Reader and share feeds (as I discussed why here), then please do. It is how I get and share most of my feed info outside of Twitter. No this is not a dig at PlanetLotus, Yancy did incredible work here, I still pop in. But I can clear hundreds of feeds a day from all over the web faster with the keyboard in Google Reader (or use Feedly if you like nice UI to Google Reader). Warren Elsmore brought up a good point, the OPML is small and fast loading, the feeds will take time to populate per your connection/reader. "not my problem" was my response :-) UPDATE: Google Reader can auto-translate any feed on the fly so you always see it in English! That alone is a darn reason people. Just change the feed preference after uploading. |

Am I being too hard? (screenshot) Has this not been in beta for almost a year as Bluehouse before it became LotusLive Engage? Was the shift from Lotusphere Online to here rather rushed? Ugh.
I did find out that I had to log into the email address I used at Lotusphere, with no way to link my existing profile nor is there any way to update the temporary one. Now I have this bizarre profile sitting out there. Top that with my team members that had automatic accounts created on the fly from Lotusphere with no way to bring them into our company profile either. I just can't put my finger on what the reasoning behind this is yet.

We were told last week (or so) that the Lotusphere2009 site would be going down. It is down as far as I can tell. All the materials were to be moved to LotusLive Engage (that is my profile link so we can connect). Well a search today only turns up a test account for clothing? Anyone know how to find anything related to Lotusphere in there? Does it even exist yet?
There is no groups, one profile and one for the Lotusphere Event team. I am terribly confused..

I have been playing around in Pass-It-Along, the IBM Alphaworks site for some time now. Basically kicking tires and always striking a flat. But this presentation popped up today showing the coming changes for DeveloperWorks as a whole. Basically a combo of Lotus Connections, Pass-It-Along and some other things crammed together. Here is a summary they are introducing in "My DeveloperWorks":
So what we get is another Lotus Connections install integrated with Pass-It-Along. I can't take many more of these when the Notes client alone will not let you run more than one Activity plug-in to surface all of these!
- Home page design changes
- Profiles - yes make another one
- in-line commenting
- ratings
- community links
- tagging
- it seems you can surface other web personalities, maybe hooks?
- more groups
- users can become topic experts
- widgets to personalize your homepage
- blogs ?!?!
- Activities
- bookmarking
- knowledge paths (this is Pass-It-Along)

As much as I get frustrated with some of the tiny things in LotusLive, this one is huge to anyone attempting to gett their business involved or even have people from Lotusphere come in the site for content.
When you first come in you are able to create an account and also a company profile. You are then the owner of that company profile. From there you may invite others from your company to join and hook them all together. So far so good. And then the walls come down. Since everyone is being encouraged to start creating accounts, they are. And what you get is multiple upon multiple company profiles for the same exact company and no way to merge or restrict that from happening.
For example I have had ours since early in the beta for Bluehouse. Now that Lotusphre has come and gone, plus the recent press, some of the people here willingly joined up due to Lotus saying all content will be there from Lotusphere. You would think that if they tried to enter the company name it would say, WAIT, are you part of this company? Let me send an approval request to the company profile owner to add you in, but here is your account anyway. Nope, not the way they did it. They say, here you go new account holder, your own company.
Now it gets worse. So I say add/invite (not the word ADD here) a person to my company profile. I type in the email address of the person and it says, no way, that person already has an account! So I cannot add them to the profile. So they check when adding but not when registering and once added I cant get them over to the right one? Or remove the duplicate? UGH

Many of you go to the full URL for the blog, but for anyone coming in to http://www.IdoNotes.com are in for a new surprise. I have taken to task to bring together all the content into more of a lifestream (that I hinted at before). So give me some feedback and look for this same change to TheSocialNetworker shortly..

I received an email notification that I had pending requests for LotusLive. I logged in from Google Chrome and nothing was there. I figured that the person withdrew the request. No problem. However, logging in via Firefox at a later time I saw that request and a few other. Interesting to know that there are differences across the browsers. I wonder what else might be different.

Yes this is a blatant theft of the outline that Jess uses on her page, but I asked permission. Why?? Because I am a hardcore admin and can make ugly tables to make you developers frustrated, but this was too nice to pass up.

Even though for a couple years I was never, ever here and always on the road, this is smack in the middle of the US. Everything is just a few hour flight. That part is nice. No beach/ocean/coast isn't the best. But with the travel I make up for it.
Looking to find me in person? Here is where I am and will be.
