Being washed with Notes

XMarks soon to be ex-marks

Terrible news. The Xmarks service will be discontinued.

I've found this to be one of the most useful browser add-ons I've ever encountered. I add a bookmark on my work PC and I can refer to it at home, I add a bookmark while on my PC at a customer site, I can refer to it at work and at home, I re-install the OS on my PC I can re-populate my favourites / bookmarks in a minute or 2.....and many more.

Anyway, here is a list of alternatives that the nice people at Xmarks have provided to help us all get over the pain and start the grieving process.

The headline is not a call to release Domino Designer from its shackles.

Domino Designer is now free, as in beer or the non existent lunch.

This is a bold move by IBM and will hopefully encourage sites to do more in the Domino development space without having to worry about the cost of licensing a Domino Designer seat.

Download it from here.

Notes 8.5.1 first impressions

Just a few points:

• It's faster.
• The designer is much much faster.
• It has a class browser (at last!!).
• It has type-ahead for custom classes (nice).
• Subs and Functions are alphabetically sorted (brilliant).

Ordinal Numbers

Is it just me or has everyone forgotten how to refer to dates properly?

It's all "Yes I'll do that by November 13". Er no, it's November the 13th.

Why I oughta!!
