A handy list of cheat sheets (HTML, CSS, Javascript, etc…).

I still live and die by my VisiBone Browser Book but some of the jQuery cheatsheets will be handy.

Dear loyal readers (all two of you). I need Lotus Notes help badly.

Please ask your Lotus Notes developer friends if they’ve have any ideas on how to help me.

We just upgraded from R6 to R8 and now my namgr.exe.config or nserver.exe.config files stopped working. It’s like it can’t see them.

We were using a 3rd party COM library for a Notes app. The COM library is created using .Net framework and acts as a proxy to a (microsoft) web service. It requries a config file which must be named “[my_app_name].exe.config”.

I tried to name the config file as “notes.exe.config”, and “nlnotes.exe.config”. But it seems that Windows doesn’t work with Notes in this way.

Would appreciate any suggestion regard this.

There is a multi-beer reward.

It’s great to read about successful Lotus Notes applications. I was browsing Linkedin when I found this:

Michael Janas’ company bid out an application but decided to develop it in-house on the Lotus platform. It’s answer #2 on the list.

I had the same requirements, looked around at software, was caught off guard by the costs and IT reqmts, so decided to use in-house talent to develop a system based on Lotus Notes. Didn’t take a lot of time to develop and only three weeks to Beta test and then launch enterprise wide with 5200 employees and 375 managers or requisitioners.

Sometimes… I just want to scream “Hey CIO! I’ve got money saving applications over here!”

Thank you Michael Janas for publishing a success story for Lotus Application development.
