HealthInfoNet, Maine's health information exchange (HEI), has selected 3M Health Information Systems Division as vendor of choice to provide the interoperability solution needed to build one of the nation's first statewide health information-sharing networks.  Following an extensive national search, 3M and its partners, Orion Health and Connectria, were chosen to create an integrated health information system designed to improve the quality and efficiency of health care delivery in Main and, over time, make personal health information more available to patients.

Mobile IM
AOL has released a location plug-in for its AIM messaging client. The plug-in, developed by Skyhook Wireless, allows AIM users to see where people on their buddy lists are physically located. Skyhook tracks locations by using the wireless pulses emitted by all Wi-Fi transmitters, including Wi-Fi-enabled computers. The AIM plug-in allows users to add a new "Near Me" group to their buddy lists. This group will show usernames of those AIM members who share their locations and are within a set distance. The plug-in, which is a free download, also enables users to see a buddy's location on a map as well. Currently this is available only for PC users - however Skyhook has said it expects to see the location capabilities eventually integrated with AIM clients on mobile phones.

Lisa and I needed an early dinner, due to starvation basically.  The hotel sent us over to a restaurant that opened shortly before we arrived.  As luck would have it, we were all alone in the entire restaurant and the chef, picture above, came out and personally took our order and set off to make some special dishes.  He served a ricotta stuffed zucchini with a buffalo tomato puree and olive oil on top to 'relax' us from our travels.  Well that was an incredible dish to start things off.

The rest of the dinner went wonderfully and he joined us again, as in sat with us, for about 30 minutes and talked.  We discovered he has worked as the chef in San Diego and the Paris hotel in Las Vegas before coming back to Europe.  So this was one of those places I am logging for myself and anyone else that happens to be in the area.

Good Charlotte live.  We walked up on this live concert promoting their new album and grabbed a spot above them in the restaurant to eat and then watch.  I made a video and converted it to avi from the Sanyo HD1A.  The local quality looks much nicer in mpeg4 format :-)

• THE BIGGIE: We found that the .5 release of the agent had a 'bug' that the agent was processing faster than the document collection.  So this means it possibly could miss some documents while getting others, in the same mailfile.  This meant revisiting our heaviest calendar users again at the end of this week after the big changes on Apr 25th we performed.
• We had certain resources never take the time changes while others did in the same resources.nsf database
• We had appointments scattered across patched and unpatched machines like a great attempt at humor
• We had users parent documents for repeating meetings acting funny when the children documents fell into the new time changes
• Until the .7 release of the agent the script errors were causing us major headaches
• We had a site apply the OS patches with the Domino servers running and never had restarted them.  Even through the DST patches we applied in Domino.  So they suddenly were in Baja, California for all their meetings.

•  The mail templates are being merged, so no separate Forms8.nsf for DWA users.  However, the template will grow to over 25MB in my calculations.
• There is some entitlement to the Tivoli Directory Integrator.
• DB2 will be publicly available
• Activities are not part of Domino 8, they are Connections.  They will not be part of the public beta
• They did a large show and tell on features and functions

New Videos show sample scenario of applying DST change to Notes and Domino

New video instructions (screen capture with audio narration) have been provided. These videos demonstrate how a Notes calendar is impacted by the DST change and show one scenario of applying the necessary updates to allow for the new Daylight Saving Time definitions. The download link to the videos is embedded within the "C&S Agents" technote below.
