Users of Lotus Notes 8.x or Lotus Sametime Connect only have to create a new Sametime Community. Users of Notes versions earlier than 8 have to choose between their own community and LotusLive or have to install the instant messaging client (which is Sametime Connect - what a surprise ) you can download from LotusLive.

Abstract classes concrete
Thu, Dec 17th 2009 12:55p   Thomas Bahn
If you have some knowledge about other object-oriented programming languages, like Java, you probably like abstract classes. These are classes you cannot instanciate directly, i.e. create new objects from them. But you can derive other classes from them and create objects from these subclasses. In an abstract class you can have attributes and methods like in any other class. Normally, abstract classes model some kind of concept or abstraction, for example Animal. There are dogs and cats, but [read] Keywords: lotusscript java

Internet Explorer 8 can massively slow down Notes 8
Fri, Aug 28th 2009 4:53a   Arnd Koch
In the Notes 8 standard client emails are rendered by the currently installed Internet Explorer instead of using the Notes internal rendering engine (independently of the "default browser" setting). The advantage of using Internet Explorer is the improved quality of the rendering of MIME emails. See IBM's Technote on this subject. However, this may cause some trouble when using Notes 8 and Internet Explorer 8.

If date values are written to a field via LotusScript they always include also a time value. If there is no time value it is automatically set to "00:00:00". Normally this is okay. But if you want to display the document in a calendar view the result could be unwanted. Because the entry will be shown at "00:00:00". ("12:00 Midnight" for our American friends) The calendar view works as designed. If the field contains only a date value the entry will be displayed above the time slots.

The Kölner Phonetik (Cologne Phonetics?) is a phonetical algorithm, which assigns words a string of digits from 0 to 8. Similar sounding words get the same string assigned, thus it's possible to find similar sounding words, e. g. names in a list. It's like the Soundex algorithm, but "tuned" for the German language. It was published 1969 by Postel. @Soundex is a function implemented in the formula language and is used e. g. in the Domino directory to look for similar sounding names (see first [read] Keywords: domino formula formula language lotusscript sntt php
