GCN: Microsoft sounds like it is doing everything it can to lure all remaining Lotus Notes users to Exchange.  How does that make you feel?

Ozzie: Although I've got very warm feelings for the product, the team that built it, the partners who built business around it, and the customers invested in it, Notes was designed at its core for an earlier era.  Today there is a far greater set of choices, and in some cases, a far more appropriate set of choices.

Notes was designed for the world of the early '90's - a "re-engineering the corporation" era where the mandate was to utilize technology to share information across departments within an enterprise or government organization.

Where's the user model that would enable a user to copy and paste structured information from one website to another?

Where's the user model that would enable a user to copy and paste structured information from a website to an application running on a PC or another kind of device, or vice-versa?

And finally, where's the user model that would enable a user to 'wire the web', by enabling publish-and-subscribe scenarios web-to-web, or web-to-PC?

However, another E-Taler, Mac this time, says our invitation problem occurs somewhere between the desk chair and the keyboard.  But he's put us right.

Mac does agree that this might not be the most intuitive place to oput such an option, and that few people need to have it switched off in the first place.  He also, quite pleasantly, points out that Notes is designed with security rather than openness in mind.  He's also offered Notes counseling should it all get too much for us again.

The big push now is for developers to recode Web sites and Web applications to cater for the browser update.

If not, users won't be able to directly interact with Microsoft ActiveX controls loaded by the APPLET, EMBED or OBJECT elements without first activating the user interface with an extra mouse click.

Can you say click-click for using that Quickplace, DWA and some other stuff as Rob so eloquently points out right here.

Microsoft Exchange and IBM Domino/Notes dominate the corporate e-mail world. Together, the packages own nearly 90 percent of the Global 2000 e-mail market, and that dominance will continue through 2007.

With the rest of the corporate world already sewn up by IBM and Microsoft, vendors are looking for growth where they can get it.

IMing has its place, but it's typically not the best medium for the "business end" of business. Not too many deals are being negotiated via IM, but it does have its place in the office.

"Some people swear by it and it has its place, but it's not for everybody," says Bill Thompson, vice president at NSI, a Naugatuck-based computer consulting and systems-integration company.

"I get the sense that it's being used more internally than externally to clients," says Thompson. "There may be some situations where you're in a high customer-service orientation where they want that instant feedback and organizations might authorize that under a secure environment, but I think it's used by more people who are internal to an organization."

As Thompson explains, there are choices for those looking for instant messaging capability. "Under a more specified environment such as Lotus Notes, you have to have your own server and would have to authorize access by people in the company or outside."

A growing number of American chief executives rate blogs high as employee communication tools, though a majority of them remain skeptical about starting their own, a new study shows.

About 59 percent of CEOs surveyed said they find Web logs, or blogs, useful for internal communications, while 47 percent see them as tools for communication with external audiences, according to a study conducted by PRWeek and Burson-Marsteller

So I questioned myself in how my blog is viewed by the forces that be.  Most of my blogging is done in the evening or night with postings set for the next day, unless it is a hot topic.  I know there are some at work that read it occasionally, knowing I never use names of customers or people (unless approved by them in advance).  I regulate the content in my head as I go.  I feel I have done quite well with over two years of blogging, moving to the third with this Lotusphere 2006.  But, I also know I express opinion on the very product we support, manage, host and install.

Apparently the audience approves as the web hits, RSS hits and even searches continue to grow.  Business generated from it continues to grow.  Sometimes surprising even me when I peek at the stats every couple weeks and I see the emails constantly coming in inquiring on capabilities and requests for assistance.  So I march on, continuing what I do and how I do it.  Always looking for new ideas and changes, but keeping the core content the very same that lets it grow.

See previously everyone complained that Notes was not like Outlook with all the bells and whistles.  Unfortunately there are too many now.

• awareness icons
• reply indicators
• forward indicators
• message recipient indicators
• follow-up flags in varying colors
• priority indicators
• mood stamps
• yes there is a few more

What I am getting at is now the end users need a pop-up legend for icons and colors.  Just like the IM list pops into a new window the end users are now overwhelmed with little colors, icons and doohickeys

MINNEAPOLIS -- In another effort to cut costs, Northwest Airlines is no longer stocking Newsweek, Glamour and other magazines on its planes and in its passenger club lounges.

Cutting magazine subscriptions will save the airline $565,000 this year.

World Traveler, Northwest's monthly in-house magazine, will still be available.

Northwest is the nation's fourth-largest airline.

It lost $458 million in the last quarter alone and has been struggling with high fuel costs and tough labor negotiations.

Last week, Northwest said it will also drop complimentary pretzel snacks on all domestic flights, beginning on June 9.

Northwest is also proposing a $2-per-bag fee for skycap service.

That fee is being used experimentally in Seattle.

First it was meal service. Then the pillows disappeared. Now Northwest Airlines is taking away the free pretzels on all domestic flights.

It's the latest twist in an intensive cost-cutting effort that has led Detroit Metro Airport's largest carrier to eliminate many amenities passengers had come to expect.

The airline will stop handing out free pretzels to coach-class passengers on June 9, Northwest spokeswoman Jennifer Bagdade said.

Passengers instead can buy a 3-ounce bag of trail mix for $1.

Northwest has already cut out pretzels on flights that offered a $3 snack pack for passengers. The airline has no plans to eliminate free beverages.

Eliminating complimentary pretzels will save Northwest $2 million annually, officials say. The carrier has lost nearly $3.3 billion since 2001.

BlackBerry thumb
Orthopedists say they are seeing an increasing number of patients with a condition known as "overuse syndrome" or BlackBerry thumb. In some patients, the disability has become severe. The American Society of Hand Therapists issued a consumer alert in January saying that handheld electronics are causing an increasing amount of carpal tunnel syndrome and tendonitis. With that warning, the society included directions on how to properly hold the devices, urging users to take breaks and, if possible, place pillows in their laps so their wrists are in a more upright position.

• If you leave the second NIC enabled then it will start trying to grab that NIC as the bind and tunneling and whiteboarding starts to fail
• If you disable the second NIC and run enterprise backups across it (as most companies will), then you screw yourself there
• If you move a NIC out of the NAT into a DMZ or other area, you expose the server
• If you chant loudly "Sametime rules the planet and LCS is a spawn of Satan" nothing happens but you feel better about your decision to use Sametime

• No categorization - meaning there is no description area or ability to group them together from a drop-down list.  Maybe that list comes pre-built from Lotus or maybe it is open so you can add your own as you go along.
• No sorting - this follows right behind categories as there is no way to sort the rules in the server or email file.  How are you to find any certain rule if you have to scroll and hunt.
• Order in embedded view is only shown as the order the rules are applied to the message.  This goes to sorting
• You cannot use special characters - Now I am not implying that every character should be used.  But if you ever tried to be creative and use a "\" and perform some rudimentary sorting you were in for a surprise.  Everything after the slash is ignored.  So yes it looks nice, but the rule is then not applied properly to any mail message.  This also removes the possibility of wildcards.
• The amount of rules in mailfiles should be decreased.  Finding the appropriate rule in a list of 100 becomes unreasonable.  Compounded with the current issue of some rules staying active after deletion makes finding them to help users a long trek.

The 1GB storage upgrade represents an increase of more than four times from the 250 Megabytes (MB) of space that Yahoo! Mail users currently enjoy for free.

Yahoo! also offers consumers 20MB attachment limits, along with Spam Guard, AddressGuard and numerous additional features.

So I just had to click the first link for Notes tips and what came up, but an IBM page about how wonderful the blog of Alan Lepofsky is.  Heck, Alan even had an animated gif file on his blog the other day.  I think he is taking this serious people! I am finding that the blogs are growing and trimming at the same time.  What I mean is that more people are popping up blogs while some are dying off slowly.  Unique perspectives and content are awesome to read, but are getting overwhelming to keep up with.  I don't like missing blogs for days on end until I can catch up.  So I am thinking of a rotating blog reading basis.  Setting my RSS into sections and catching up on certain ones each day. I am just being honest in how my workflow goes and needs to be so I can keep up with everyone.

Butler Group Opinion

With most organisations only now upgrading to Release 6.0, I cannot see IBM converting these loyal customers to Notes/Domino Release 7 any time soon, and as a result this can only weaken the impact of IBM Workplace on the general market - something of a pity given the platform's huge potential and significant technological advancements.

• The name of Lotus Workplace will transform and slowly move to IBM Workplace.  Lotus and Websphere will continue as brands of course
• IBM Workplace will get more attention as this moves forward as this is the natural evolution of IBM.  There will be continued marketing around Lotus and Websphere.
• IBM Workplace is a product family and not a product in itself.  There will be no version numbers associated when referring to IBM Workplace.  But the actual parts of the family will definitely have the version number.
• Workplace^TM and the subcomponents are now trademarks of IBM.  So when used you need the little ^TM thingy.

On Aug. 16, the FCC notified the USAC that it was drastically tightening up accountability standards for e-rate funding. In particular, the FCC required the USAC to have the money in hand before promising it to schools - a 180-degree reversal of the way the USAC had been operating for the past six years, during which the USAC would promise funding based on estimated future contributions by telcos.

The USAC responded Aug. 19 by informing thousands of schools and libraries that it could no longer promise funding for fiscal year 2004, which started in July.

IBM, which has been expanding its operations in India, has moved away from the related term "outsourcing." Outsourcing refers to a business farming tasks out to companies like IBM--which may complete the work abroad. Big Blue avoided using the word "outsourcing" in announcing deals with two energy companies and with two German banks that all involve IBM taking over certain operations.

Big Blue described some of the deals as "business process transformation services" agreements and said the phrase refers to an emerging market category.

The Ogo costs $17.99 monthly and includes an unlimited number of messages. The device itself, designed by No. 3 U.S. mobile provider AT&T Wireless, will sell for $129, before a $30 mail-in rebate.

AOL still will provide Sender ID information for outgoing mail so that its users can communicate with e-mail providers using that system, but that will be the limit of support for the standard. AOL, meanwhile, is moving ahead with its plans to implement the industry-standard Sender Policy Framework.

• Provider Level - If your ISP spools mail on their servers, according on how the law was interpreted, they could maintain copies of your mail without any legal ramification if your current agreement does not state otherwise.

  The decision, on a 2-1 vote by a panel of the U.S.Court of Appeals for the 1st Circuit in Massachusetts, sets up a frightening precedent

   So this deals with the mail in storage, not transit.  While they cannot grab mail as it runs across their system legally, they can maintain copies (this would be backups and other images) of the mail that resides on the server for any amount of time.  Sure you say, we are covered, but do you really understand your agreement with your provider?
• Corporate Level - Most companies I deal with in current times have some sort of Internet Usage Policy, or at least a best use program on the corporate email system. This includes content requirements and personal use standards.  The company reserves the right to store, filter and basically look for content violations.  We all know they back it up and store it somewhere.  Those of you under new requirements may have backups around for years now.

Notes database activity logging
Notes database activity logging tracks Notes database activity that occurs during a server session. Database records include such information as the name of the database, the name and address of the database user, the number of documents read and written, the number of bytes read and written, the total number of transactions executed in the database, and the length of time the database was open. Servers, users, and API programs can all generate database activity.

1. Outlook is the reason we have so many email viruses
At one time, a long, long time ago, this statement was somewhat true as Outlook was a favorite target of many virus writers. Can you blame the virus writers? Outlook is the most commonly used email client and any exploit or virus that was targeted to the programmability of Outlook had millions of users to spread it.
However, it's no longer true and hasn't been since the release of the email security patch dated June 2000. In fact, updated versions of Outlook are as safe as or safer than any email client available. Because the current crop of viruses are spread many different ways and don't need Outlook's (or Outlook Express's) address book, email viruses would not disappear if everyone switched to other email programs.

3. Will the chat client lead to revenue ads in each message you send?  Then you have to purchase an ad free client from those networks?  Can you imagine the revenue they could obtain from the advertisers coupled with the users that purchase ad free clients?  That is mind boggling.

Making conferencing easier to outsource or bring in-house
"Traditionally, companies have gotten their first taste of conferencing by purchasing a hosted service," says McLellan. "We responded last year by introducing hosted Lotus Web Conferencing through IBM Global Services, enabling companies to pay for conferencing on a monthly basis instead of, or in addition to, implementing Web Conferencing internally."

However, more-established Web conferencing adopters are now looking to bring conferencing in-house. "Typically it's a case where different departments are using different service providers, then IT reviews the collection of bills and realizes that it's cheaper to consolidate and operate these IM services internally," says McLellan.

We have been doing this for some time and see that the ease at which this article makes it sound is just not that. Due to firewalls and some lacking abilities inside of the web conferencing, the drive for enterprises to use it has not been as large as one would imagine from the article. Has anyone outsourced the conferencing services and utilized Sametime? I refer to this in terms of someone using only web conferencing through Sametime and outsourced, not just chat services.
I have found that some offerings from the other web conferencing services cannot be matched if only comparing the apples to apples piece. Of course their comment on adding IM ability is valid, but it is a reverse scenario. While Lotus hurries to catch up in the true broadcast conferencing, the other vendors play catch-up in the IM integration with the service.

Dear Chris Miller,

Today, we announced a number of changes to our operation in St. Louis. I want to explain what this means to you as a traveler, to thank you for your support and to ask for your future business.

Beginning November 1, 2003, we will reduce our service from St. Louis. Our new emphasis will be on tailoring schedules to you, the local market - as opposed to travelers connecting from elsewhere. We have revised the schedule to provide the best combination of flights to the cities you have historically supported - places such as Boston, New York, Washington D.C. and Los Angeles. You will also see first morning departures and latest evening arrivals for day trips to key business centers. Together, American Airlines, American Eagle® and AmericanConnection® will operate a total of 207 flights daily to 68 cities.

St. Louis remains an extremely important part of our network. It will remain a hub for many of the feeder routes served by AmericanConnection and one of the largest cities in American's system. We are committed to serving the long-term needs of our customers and communities like St. Louis. And we are dedicated to earning your continued support and loyalty.

Please remember these changes do not take effect until November, so any current travel plans you have are intact. We will keep you informed as we move forward.

Sincerely yours,

Dan Garton
Executive Vice President
Marketing

When we last left our hero he was duct taped to a server keyboard afraid that if he took the server over 50 MPH the bomb would go off.  He was in the midst of a Lotus Workplace Messaging install.  Or commonly referred to by BP Support as a QuickSame TimePlace WorkStore install.  Or some other variation depending on who you talked to last.       Today it seems we have solved one issue, that our registries are exactly the same and yet the install still fails.  So any issue that seemed to think my registry might be incorrect was quickly extinguished by tears of joy and pain over the duct tape pulling arm hair out

• If said vehicle has nice new paint finish, do not scratch a single part
• If said vehicle has electronic locks, do not attempt to use screwdriver, paperclip or any other device to pry doorhandle off of car
• If said vehicle has electronic locks, do not break every tiny piece of cheap plastic the auto manufacturer chooses to use in production of lock
• If said vehicle has electronic locks, do not cut each and every wire connecting to lock in effort to make you waste more time as that won't work either to actually open it
• If you are unsure of how to break into newer car with electronic locks, do not stick screwdriver into frame of car in mad frustration because of not being able to figure out how to open the car in the first place
• Lastly, if car is newer, plan on taking items and not the car since it won't start without lots of skill, effort and the cool little chip only found in the ignition keys
