Falling Dominos

I already found one session I want to attend: BP212 The Great Code Giveaway: “Beyond Cool”

This year the SNAPPS labs have produced some of the most impressive IBM Lotus Domino-centric techniques in four areas: visual effects, data access and processing, mashups, and cross-product integration.

If you’re scoring at home… I had 5.5 bagels today.

I opened up the ability to add comments. We’ll see how bad the spam gets.

Tim Tripcony explains his use of “ByVal parameters” in his blog today. He prefers Sub sendDocToBoss(ByVal doc as NotesDocument) to Sub sendDocToBoss(doc as NotesDocument).

I’m going to argue the 80/20 rule on this one. Eighty percent of the Notes Developers out there don’t use “ByVal” in their functions/subs so why confuse them? I have coded without ByVal for nearly ten years and I have never touched a referenced parameter (in fact… I keep forgetting that I can).

Program any way you want but just remember that the next programmer might not read your blog and understand your ByVal tendencies.

I tried Treobble for my Palm 755p tonight. I must not be ready for the “touchscreen” navigation/revolution because I became quite frustrated with how slow it scrolled.
