SNTT: Stopping users from opening the wrong replica
One of the great strengths of notes is that users can access the same information on different servers or on local replicas. It can also be a real problem. I have frequently had calls from people along the lines of "I added some information and I can see it but my...
Blog partially reskinned – I hate IE
I will post more about this but I am part way through reskinning this blog as part of a project to re-develop our company web site. It works great in Firefox but IE is not so good - reminds me of this graph Firebug is just brilliant Click on the comments button to see...
Improving the meta title data on Domino Blog entries ( a passed on tip )
When you look at the Google results for Sean Burgess you will see that the title of the Blog article is clearly shown in Google whereas if you look at my current Google results you can see that the default template behaviour is just to use the site title - I think...
SNTT – Visual Directory – thumbnails in the domino directory

Running Notes 8 when you are short of resources
Although the Eclipse notes client is a richer place to work there are times when it would be better to run the simpler basic client . A good example would be if I have several virtual machines running at once on my laptop. Even though you have installed the Standard (...
Restarting Notes cleanly
Although Notes is much much better about restarting after a crash there are still times when it hangs. A good example for me is when you open the developer help with the script debugger on. People used to use products like KillNotes.exe to restart Notes but since...
Finding which documents have been deleted from a database with a script solution
Update Notes 8.5 now has an extra column in the user activity pop up which shows deletions I seem to have lost the comments somehow but several people recommended Ytrias (free ) tool over Notes Peek. I have tried it now and it is very good I recently had a call from a...
