A whle ago I wrote a blog post on Formatting Dates on Links, which talked about using F4 to identify the methods of the underlying XPages Java classes.

Not bad for 10-15 minutes of your time. Why do I think this is important? I’m sure the results will get picked up again

It’s been a while since I last blogged because of a mixture of holidays and other extra-curricular projects. But last week I encountered a problem with a date converter having no effect when added to a Link control. I’m not sure if the converter was trying to convert the value property of the control, like

I’m sure most, if not all, of the people reading this have already seen the announcement by Ed Brill of the IBM Champions for Lotus Collaborations Solutions at PacLUG earlier today. It’s an honour to be included in the illustrious company, many of whom I’ve become friends with at various LUGs and conferences over the last
