Special of the day
If you
will direct yourself to the whiteboard, the special
of the day is upgrades to Domino 6.
Apparently everyone was asking for this menu item recently. Little
did they know that some of them can easily purchase this upgrade. While
others on the other hand, well they have so many side items (Capteris,
Sametime, Websphere Portal Server and Quickplace) that they are not of
legal age apparently to purchase this fine menu item.
Basically we ran into what many of you are,
that with add-ons for Domino, some are not ready or certified for Domino
6 and you cannot upgrade because of that. At least on certain servers.
This causes us great discomfort as you can imagine. The clients
want the latest and greatest Domino features but we can't deliver. Now
I made the call to Capteris to see what their timeframe is for a Domino
6 product. I will update you when I know. As for the Lotus
generated products, well we shall see their rollout time for Sametime/Quickplace
on 6 support.
On the personal side, I went for the state
required emissions exam. You
only have to get this in major cities in Missouri, always a treat. I
usually get lucky and have what they call Rapid
Screening where they get you exiting
or entering a highway and mail it to you. Unfortunately with the
new car I had to get it done at the place. Well here is the short
story. At the end of the month that place is crazy, packed and long
lines. They even give huge discounts (like $20 off the $24 if you
wait over an hour). Well I pulled up with no line, no waiting. Right
in and right out. Like 7 minutes
total.
Here is the catch. Being that I never
went through the actual place, I happened to glance at the sheet they gave
me after applying the sticker. This is of course as I am pulling
out. Well I may not know better, but I certainly did NOT drive a
85
Oldsmobile into the center to get inspected.
I went back and got it all fixed right away, after a stop with the
manager. My thoughts? Now that I reflect back, the guy was
printing a lot of extra forms. I think he was making extras to sell
to pass for people. The one he gave me had a license, VIN and model
of another car. Make your own judgement here of course. But
the passing is strict and I can see an 85 Olds having issues passing the
clean air program
