Hintergrund des Workspace aendern

Posted on by Martin Hipfinger

Hab ich gerade bei Spotlight gelesen, hier nochmal zusammengefasst:

Wenn man den Hintergrund des Workspaces ändern möchte, kann man das wie folgt machen:

– sich den ResourceHacker besorgen
– die nnotesws.dll im RH öffnen
– die Bitmaps 2574, 2578 und 2579 entsprechend anpassen / ersetzen
– die nnotesws.dll ersetzen (zuvor natürlich eine eine Sicherheitskopie erstellen oder die ursprüngliche Kopie umbennen)

Achtung: Das Manipulieren von dll-Dateien könnte durchaus durch die Lizenzbedingungen verboten sein.

NotesPeek

Posted on by Martin Hipfinger

endlich gibt es das tool NotesPeek auch als beta für nd6; mit diesem tool ist es möglich alle informationen einer db einzusehen.

NotesPeek was written for technical Domino administrators who want to see a more raw view of their Notes databases than the Notes client provides. It presents the information in Notes databases as it is available through the Notes API.

NotesPeek is based on a containment hierarchy: Notes servers have databases, databases have documents, documents have items, etc. For the most part, this containment hierarchy is that presented by the API. Selecting a line in the tree view on the left displays information about that line in the text view on the right.

NotesPeek displays almost all of the data available through the Notes API. Where data cannot be interpreted because its format is not documented, it is displayed as a hex dump.

hier gibts NotesPeek für R5.

No conspiracy: Microsoft, IBM to blame for Domino’s decline

Posted on by Martin Hipfinger

In a single word, how would one describe the mood of the Lotus user community? Depressed.

Following our recent column on Lotus conspiracy theories, we asked our readers if they believe there is a secret tech industry conspiracy to keep Lotus Notes and Domino down.

However, the majority of respondents told us that there’s really no conspiracy. Users believe the decline of Notes and Domino is directly tied to slick marketing on the part of Microsoft, and IBM’s inability to respond in two key areas: effective marketing and its user interface. A flashier, trendier UI, users said, would help improve decision makers’ opinion of Notes.

Even though the Notes and Domino community still believes its platform is far superior to Microsoft’s, users are upset that IBM is seemingly content with its “also-ran” status, making them feel like second-class citizens.

    bilanz dieser woche

    Posted on by Martin Hipfinger

    diese woche hatte es in sich: ich war mit 38 fieber ungeplanter weise auf den vmware kursen “ESX Server System Management I” und “ESX Server System Management II”; naja, nicht die ganze woche. heute bin ich zuhause geblieben – und morgen detto. ich behaupte einfach mal, die anderen kursteilnehmer werden froh sein, dass ich nicht mehr gekommen bin; der eine neben mir hat auch schon zu husten und zu schneuzen begonnen 🙂
    der kurs ansich war schon sehr spannend; auch der kursleiter war ein sehr netter mensch: er passte seine erzählungen meinen schneuz-orgien an – und mir war das ewige “gesundheit” von den anderen kursteilnehmern schon mehr als peinlich…
    achja – dann habe ich noch bereitschaft und jetzt gerade auch noch ein wartungsfenster; zum glück nichts großartiges.
    deshalb geht es jetzt auch gleich wieder ab ins bett – ich werde es denke ich auch das wochenende nicht so schnell wieder verlassen.
