Perhaps you want to try the mobile IOS Mobile Sametime client IBM Green house enables you to try this out.
It probably work with the Android client too but I haven’t tries, and ofcouse you can use it with the notes client.

Use these settings in the client to connect to the servers.
Another day in the Connections week has past and my reflections today was SBT (Social Business Toolkit) is big. This is a really big investment by IBM, and I see alot of great things in this. IBM seams really commited to get this api out to everybody. They have support for javascript, php, Xpages, IOS and more. Hope that they will really try to get all the big cloud vendors to adapt this, that would be really great.
Social Business Toolkit is apart of one of IBM:s focus areas SMAC – Social, Mobile, Analytics and Cloud that they are working on and will continue to move forward.
Also I saw the SBT playground, that looks really promising as a way to document development, an XPage help version perhaps 🙂
Also it seams like Twitter bootstrap is gaining ground against One UI because more and more is released using that framework, and it’s responsive One UI is not. But I head something about a IBM alternative framework, after some research I think it’s called UAX (Thought is was IDX first, thanks for commenting ) but I’m not sure. Will come back in this matter.
I also watched some more live streams regarding digital experience and one thing I heard that made me hopeful and that was that they were making big investments to improve the rich text editing experience in that product. Hopefully The XPage team could buy them some lunch and get a copy of that code.
Comment if you have seen anything interesting you want to share or if you have a question.
Yesterday was the first day of IBM Connect 2014. The Opening session was full of news for the Cloud area and Mail and IBM Notes probably gets a name change to IBM Mail.
Domino Applications will be able to move to IBM Smartcloud with IBM Soft Layer and the Hybrid Notes will continue to grow. Hybrid Notes is where you use your Notes client for Mail, Calendar and apps but your servers is in the cloud.
The Big announcement was Mail Next a new way to look at the inbox. And from twitter I got some confirmations that this is should be for the Notes Client also, great.
This is of course an example on how it might look but when though it looks interesting. And a beta will come out in the first half of 2014 and to be released in the second half but it’s cloud first.
Some other things noted is that the browser notes plugin will get a mac release, There will be a full traveler mail client like the Android client for IOS and a lot of news about Connections Next, a new context aware archive named Alcatraz
But as an developer I’m very excited to see what the future of Application Development will show on the live stream today at 11:15 AM. What time is that in my local time you might say, I say google is your friend.
Google for “Time in Orlando” and then you can match that against your local time, works perfect.
And you you have the time before that check out the KeyNote with Smarter Workforce it starts at 8:15AM
The streams can be found at
www-01.ibm.com/software/collaboration/events/connect/
And the Schedule is can be found here
www-304.ibm.com/connections/blogs/socialbusiness/entry/connect_2014_livestream_schedule
Exciting times Connect 2014 is around the corner unfortunately, I’m not attending in person but I will follow it closely as always.
These are the top 10 things I would like to see IBM show at connect
What thing do you wish??
Client killer gets an update to fix a problem with some Client tasks not being killed.
Hope you never have to use this utility but if you do click on the link below.
I’ve updated my Designer Memory Configurator to fix some problems reported to me.
The new version number is 2.1 also remember that your ordinary IBM Notes client also gets speed by giving it some more memory. Let your client free.
Download the new version here

I got an email a few days ago regarding my Document Locker openntf project. The question was why it didn’t work. I tested my application and it worked as expected. But then I thought perhaps the developer is using the code from XPinc because I added a Xpinc page in the project and I must confess I didn’t test that before releasing the project as much as I usually do.
And this was the case, they where using an XPinc application. And the lesson in this was.
application scope is only applicationScope if you run the code from an web browser and not if the XPage is runned as an XPinc application or if you run it using the new Domino 9 XPinc run on server option.
Application Scope is private in XPinc applications, it is not an application scope that is shared between users.
Are you an developer or an software administrator?
If you answed Yes, why would you then want to look after or upgrade server hardware ever again?
You should focus on the future of your applications /business not on when harddisks / motherboards needs to be replaced. Another great thing is scaling your business in a cloud enviroment. Traditional you have to size the server after the biggest load. But with a real cloud based solution you can change the size so it fits your needs or the provider does this for you. But you should choose your cloud provider wisely because the service they offer is not the same. These are some things that I thing is important.
br />
The bottom line is by using a cloud based infrastructure your needs can scale when your business does and you don’t have to wait for new servers to be installed. Your business can grow freely and without any limitations that’s the greatness with a cloud based IT infrastructure.
What is your experience? Make a comment.
If you look in the IBM Fixlist there are several interesting fixes in 9.01
One of them is that we can close an XPage thu code in the Notes client.
Not a big deal you might think but it is when adding xpage functionallity to “old” design notes applications.
If you have another fix that I’ve missed feel free to comment. Ofcourse all fixes might not end up in the release but we hope.

Eclipse Code Snippets in HCL Lotus Domino Designer is a great way to develop faster with ready made code snippets, that you can paste into your software. Easy to add and easy to use but there is a major problem. It’s very hard to share snippets within a development team or from a community. And we all like sharing so this is where Snippet Synd comes into the picture. This software helps syncing Snippets categories and all snippets inside that category. Snippet Sync can sync from a file location or a web location so the updating a snippets just became very SIMPLE.
If you don’t know what the designer snippets are check out this Notes in 9 video –> Link
I have also created a GitHub Repository with some snippets to start with. They can be found here. The idea is that these can be contributed from the community or replaced by an official one from openntf.org in a later release.
Improvement suggestions is always welcome 🙂
