No, I had nothing to do with this.


That being said, it makes for some hell
of a party!

Made me laugh

 This is a strictly mathematical
viewpoint and it goes like this:

What Makes 100%? What does it mean to give MORE than 100%? Ever wonder
about those people who say they are giving more than 100%? We have all
been to those meetings where someone wants you to give over 100%. How about
achieving 103%? What makes up 100% in life?

Here’s a little mathematical formula that might help you answer these questions:

If:
A B C D E F G H I J K L M N O P Q R S T U V W X Y Z …

is represented as:
1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 25 26.

Then:
H-A-R-D-W-O-R-K
8+1+18+4+23+15+18+11 = 98%

and
K-N-O-W-L-E-D-G-E
11+14+15+23+12+5+4+7+5 = 96%

But,
A-T-T-I-T-U-D-E
1+20+20+9+20+21+4+5 = 100%

And,
B-U-L-L-S-H-I-T
2+21+12+12+19+8+9+20 = 103%

AND, look how far ass kissing will take you.
A-S-S-K-I-S-S-I-N-G
1+19+19+11+9+19+19+9+14+7 = 118%

So, one can conclude with mathematical certainty that while Hard work and
Knowledge will get you close, and Attitude will get you there, it’s the
Bullshit and Ass kissing that will put you over the top.

A set of excellent, funny ads for Lotus

Notes always surprises me

For the first time (possibly ever) I
copied a group from my domino directory to my PNAB.  This was the
response I got:

Ok, you know it makes sense, but it
is a nice touch.  This is Notes 703 for the Mac (not Notes8).

Idea Jam goes live tomorrow

Bruce
et all are putting IdeaJam
live tomorrow.  Considering
everything else that is going on (ILUG2008, Lotusphere, Admin2007 next
week, and two other things I cannot talk about yet), I am ashamed to say
I have not had enough time to contribute to this excellent incubator for
improvement of the Lotus product suite.  Go take a look!  By
the way, YES its a domino powered site.  For anyone that thinks you
cannot make a site look good amazing, talk to Bruce, Sean
and Matt.

"VANCOUVER, Washington – November
27, 2007
– Elguji Software, LLC (pronounced "el-GOO-jee")
has launched their new social


networking site called, “Idea Jam”
(
http://IdeaJam.net).
 


Idea Jam is a place where people can
post and share their ideas, and gauge the marketability, popularity and
viability with input


from others.  When an idea gets
posted, others can help promote or demote the idea and provide comments.
Popular ideas will


bubble to the top.  Unlike blogs
and discussion forums, Idea Jam provides a single place to measure the
value of an idea.


Ideas are grouped into “Idea Spaces”
– which currently include IBM’s Lotus Connections, Lotus Notes and Domino,
Lotus Quickr,


Lotus Sametime, Lotus Symphony, Lotusphere,
Lotus Web Content Manager and Websphere Portal. Additional Idea Spaces
for


OpenNTF and Idea Jam itself are also
available.  In the future additional “jam sessions” with related
idea spaces will be created for


other topics of interest. "

Domino 8, Server cluster auxiliary port feature

When studying for the Domino 8 Admin
exam, I came across this little clustering gem.

Most sites that avail of Domino clustering
use a the Server_Cluster_Default_Port setting, to force cluster replication
to route through a NIC (or team of NIC’s) that is different to the public
facing NIC.  But, what if the cluster communication fails?  Up
until now, that meant that cluster replication failed, which is one (but
not the only) reason why you would have a backup replication connection
document between cluster servers using the public ports.

Now you can add in Server_Cluster_Auxilary_Port=
line into your server’s notes.ini.  This selects a backup port for
cluster replication if the primary (default) port is not available.

Setting it to Server_Cluster_Auxilary_port=*
tells the cluster task to cycle through all available ports to find one
that it can cluster replicate through.  Nice touch on resilience!
