We live in the noisiest time in historyIn digital and email, everyone is competing for your attention and nobody has the time to read what you are sendingNot getting replies to email messages you send? Here are 10 potential reasons why
This one was new to me. Mainly because it has been a long time that I used the “prevent copy” feature. Know what it is? If not, that’s fine. It typically lurks in the hallways of big businesses.
When sending an email, you can check “prevent copying”. This prevents the person from forwarding or printing the message.
Warren checked the box and sent me an email. On my client I can read it fine, but in Traveler you get this:
To me, it is acting as designed. But there is more function on a blackberry where you can read the message but it is prefixed with [You are not allowed to copy this message]

One of the most downloaded items from the resources page on pmooney.net over the years has been the mail file ACL changing tool (originally blogged here). Today a person that downloaded it decided to give something back with updates.
Changes:
- my script logs into an OpenNTF-Log-Database –> otherwise you get the error “Field is too large”
- the ACL will be saved only if the ACL has changed
- the servername included in the configdoc will be used (instead of using the current server)
- I have changed the data type for the counter from “integer” to “long” –> otherwise the script will show the error “buffer overflow” (if the server has saved more than 32767 databases)
- In my script, only databases in the specified directory are updated –> if you enter “mail” in your script, the directories with the name “mail”, “mail1″, “mail-archive” will be changed

Bluewave doesn’t partner much. In fact, over the 11 (Christ.. 11 already!) years of business, you can count the number of products we have partnered on with 1 1/2 hands, give or take a finger. Reason? Well, many of our long term customers treat us in a “trusted advisor” status. This is something we treasure having built this status over many many years.
There are exceptions of course. IBM, GSX, RIM, Symantec and a few others. Now, Elguji. We have often liked Ideajam. We have often recommended it. But over recent months more and more of our customers have adopted a sensible approach to knowledge gathering in their companies. So we started the partner process. As expected, the team in Elguji are a dream to deal with. This instantly makes the the type of partner we love to deal with (Like GSX, Symantec and a few others. Points for noticing those I did not include).
Of course, Gayle put it a lot better here.
Well, its about time we started to organise the geeky hog ride for Lotusphere. In order to keep things simple, I have created a static page on this site with everything we think you will need to know to get yourself onboard. Everyone welcome. Click here for details. Leave questions on the page and I will update with details as time goes on.
Tomorrow morning I will be joining the hungover remnants of the MTV VMA awards people exiting Belfast at the stupid o’clock flight to London. Yes, I will try to get photos of famous people in sorry state for amusement. London until Wednesday, then back to Belfast for a night before heading to Zurich to give another workshop on Lotus Traveler for Teamstudio. A few announcements to come this week from Bluewave, so I will blog them when things are finalised.
This week I spent two days working with a mix of messaging, infrastructure, server, operations, mobile and device teams on a site in Cleveland. Obviously names are never mentioned (You know who you are) but I noticed two traits in the company which I sadly find unusual.
They really liked their job and their company
These guys were interested in providing the best service for their user-base. They wanted them to have the best experience and to do their job as easily as possible. Their turnaround time on responding to requests was most impressive. No complaining or bitching about the company or each other. They *liked* working there. They *liked* their bosses. They respected each other. No grumps. No bitching. Open comments about how the company is a great place to work.
They design and build in the USA
Unfortunately, the mantra surrounding the USA as a “consumer nation” is something I frequently find to be true. Most companies I deal with are service based and typically production is offshore. That can be physical production or technical back end support provided in a cheaper country. Not here. They build their product for the USA market in the USA. Not only that, they took pride in actually doing so.
Two things I felt compelled to blog about. Shame that either of them are rare.
I bet Google’s team wishes that native apps were passé, seeing as it had to claw back a malfunctioning iOS app from the market on Wednesday. If if weren’t for the fact that its customers insist on having a native app – if only they were happy to use a mobile web browser – then no one at Mountain View would be worried about their jobs. But they are
