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. It’s something I’ve done for a while ever since Tim Tripcony and Nathan Freeman told me about it. It’s a technique which has proved particularly useful when

Two and a half years ago when I started working with XPages, there was a relative paucity of support materials. Declan Lynch’s 50-odd introduction was a god-send as were blog posts from John Mackey and Matt White. The Dojo documentation was okay, but the implementation of Dojo 1.1.1 was very limiting.

Today myself and the other IBM Champions were notified of the 2011 IBM Technology Trends Survey. To support the survey, 100 people who respond will receive a gift certificate for $20. 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

Last week I was interviewed by Lisa Duke for Get Social, Do Business where I talked about what social means to me, why I think the Domino and Lotus community is so social. To some extent the episode was prompted by my posts at Lotusphere earlier this year – “Why Get Social Do Business Makes Sense” and “Get Social.
