Meanwhile, I do want to thank the many folks who said kind things about the session that John and I did (or, on Monday, the session I did with Stuart McIntyre). Truth is, we were having as much fun as we appeared to be having ... despite the fact that John was still recovering from pneumonia or bronchitis or something likewise terrible ...

Great time this evening at Disney Hollywood Studios ... kudos to the folks who put all that together ...

I'll spare the details, but I figured that now that Lotusphere is upon us, I better dust off the ol' Unplugged Blog and get busy, if for no other reason than because someone may come looking here sometime soon.

So, perhaps I saw you at the party at the lagoon this evening, or will see you tomorrow morning at the Opening General Session - but either way, delighted to be down in Orlando, and hope to see you at one of the couple of sessions I'm involved in ... on Monday afternoon at 1:00 on Lotus Connections!

See you there ... ]]> http://www.dominounplugged.com/Hosting/dominounplugged/home2.nsf/dxcomments/never-call-never-write-....htm http://www.dominounplugged.com/Hosting/dominounplugged/home2.nsf/dx/never-call-never-write-....htm?opendocument&comments Thu, 11 Jun 2009 11:33:19 -0400 http://www.dominounplugged.com/Hosting/dominounplugged/home2.nsf/dx/new-iphone-v.-palm-pre.htm IPhone Rob Wunderlich http://www.dominounplugged.com/Hosting/dominounplugged/home2.nsf/dx/new-iphone-v.-palm-pre.htm?opendocument&comments http://www.dominounplugged.com/Hosting/dominounplugged/home2.nsf/dx/new-iphone-v.-palm-pre.htm
Unless you've been living in a cave (and, if you have been, you're probably not reading this in a timely manner either, eh?), you can't have missed all the hoopla about the forthcoming Apple iPhone 3Gs.

So, of particular interest was this post from the Retrevo blog: Eight Differences Between the Apple iPhone and the PalmPre.

Of additional interest was another of their posts: Seven Important Things Neither the Apple iPhone Nor the Palm Pre Can Do.

Yeah, like Flash is that important! ]]> http://www.dominounplugged.com/Hosting/dominounplugged/home2.nsf/dxcomments/new-iphone-v.-palm-pre.htm http://www.dominounplugged.com/Hosting/dominounplugged/home2.nsf/dx/new-iphone-v.-palm-pre.htm?opendocument&comments Tue, 28 Apr 2009 13:48:22 -0400 http://www.dominounplugged.com/Hosting/dominounplugged/home2.nsf/dx/inotes-time-zone-issue.htm Inotes Rob Wunderlich http://www.dominounplugged.com/Hosting/dominounplugged/home2.nsf/dx/inotes-time-zone-issue.htm?opendocument&comments http://www.dominounplugged.com/Hosting/dominounplugged/home2.nsf/dx/inotes-time-zone-issue.htm
Actually, I see there's a lot of chatter about this problem, so you probably HAVE heard this one, but hadn't seen it myself until this week.

Received a meeting invitation for 1:30 PM EDT this Thursday and accepted it. I went to check my calendar through iNotes on my iPhone, and it showed up at 10:30 AM on Thursday, not 1:30 PM.

Turns out that, for whatever reason, the iNotes UltraLite version is reading directly from the server's time clock, where as the other clients (Notes itself, plus the iNotes Full and iNotes Lite) do not. In my case, the server I was using was on the west coast.

Turns out (again, as has been reported elsewhere, this is just MY first time through all this) it's incredibly easy to fix. Simply make sure that you set your timezones correctly in preferences:


This causes iNotes to NOT use the server timezone ... and everything is fine!

See, like I said, simple!

It's an online slideshow offering a great collection of iPhone applications for administrators (this is network oriented, not Domino oriented) like utilities for checking whois, or ping or even just keeping track of client settings.

Even features a 'flashlight' utility (which, for the record, I've had installed on my iPhone for some time ... never know when you need to light up a dark corner under the desk).

This was a particularly well attended session (frankly, I wasn't sure how many people would be interested in this "security for developers" session,  but a lot of folks were), and there was a lot of conversation about the various topics as we went along.

Be aware that this is a variation of a database from Matt White - one of the other speakers here - and I've added a bunch of "simple" things to his db. HE, on the other hand, is using it to do a bunch of really fancy things, and hopefully anyone interested in web development caught his session(s) this week to see how he took the basics (which showed) and made them stand up and dance!

Particularly in view of my current employment status (or lack thereof, more like it), it's great to have the opportunity to rub shoulders with the Lotus rabble, and hopefully see a bunch of old friends again.

I know this has already been reported by others, but wanted to also chime in ...

Today Apple officially announced the forthcoming OS upgrade for the iPhone and, among other things, it includes cut and paste.

Details on the whole enchileda at Engadget.

UPDATE: Bruce Elgort (Mr. Idea Jam) posted a video about the whole deal HERE. ]]> http://www.dominounplugged.com/Hosting/dominounplugged/home2.nsf/dxcomments/iphone-3.0---cut-and-paste-coming-soon.htm http://www.dominounplugged.com/Hosting/dominounplugged/home2.nsf/dx/iphone-3.0---cut-and-paste-coming-soon.htm?opendocument&comments Sat, 14 Mar 2009 16:45:22 -0400 http://www.dominounplugged.com/Hosting/dominounplugged/home2.nsf/dx/updates-job-hunt-status-presentation-progress.htm ADMIN2009 Rob Wunderlich http://www.dominounplugged.com/Hosting/dominounplugged/home2.nsf/dx/updates-job-hunt-status-presentation-progress.htm?opendocument&comments http://www.dominounplugged.com/Hosting/dominounplugged/home2.nsf/dx/updates-job-hunt-status-presentation-progress.htm
This is the first time I've ever gone through a "social media job search" and the results are both encouraging and discouraging at the same time. To cut directly to the chase, I'm still not gainfully employed, so I suppose you could build a case for my 'social' approach being unsuccessful. However, that would miss the point.

To date, I have NOT done any "cold calling" type job submittals. I have NOT gone to Monster or Dice or one of those sites and searched for something and then submitted an application.

I have had nearly a dozen "you should check this out" type messages, and I have chased after them, and at this point am having conversations on a couple of those opportunities. So, the value of blogs and Facebook and LinkedIn and Twitter seems pretty clear to me, because that's largely where those messages came from.

So, I'll keep you all posted (but, as I keep telling myself when I don't hear back in what I think is a reasonable amount of time, the urgency here is ALL MINE, not anyone else's) ... hopefully there will be some promising news within the next week or two.

Meanwhile, Boston looms.

One of the main Notes/Domino conferences each year - other than Lotusphere, obviously - is The VIEW's ADMIN / Lotus Developer conference. I've always enjoyed these conferences a lot ... and perhaps the best thing is that 75 percent of the sessions are NOT given by product managers or marketing people from Lotus (not that I don't love all those guys!). They're given by people that actually work day to day with these products. They're given by people that have the scars to show from being 'early adopters.' They're given - in short - by experienced developers and administrators.

I'll be doing three sessions this year, one on Web 2.0 and two involving Domino web development. Two have been turned in; the third is more than half done and due on Monday. So - this weekend is college basketball and presentation time for me.

Don't get me wrong; I'm not trying to shill for The VIEW folks here, but you really should check out the two conferences. They're a lot cheaper than Lotusphere, and it's a great excuse to come to Boston for a week in the spring. In addition to the conference, you can take in all that Boston has to offer - the history, the great sites (we did the "Top of the Pru" last time around), the Ducks, Fenway Park, the great restaurants.

Check out ADMIN2009 and Lotus Developer 2009.

See you there! ]]> http://www.dominounplugged.com/Hosting/dominounplugged/home2.nsf/dxcomments/updates-job-hunt-status-presentation-progress.htm http://www.dominounplugged.com/Hosting/dominounplugged/home2.nsf/dx/updates-job-hunt-status-presentation-progress.htm?opendocument&comments Mon, 23 Feb 2009 20:37:53 -0400 http://www.dominounplugged.com/Hosting/dominounplugged/home2.nsf/dx/looking-for-some-great-domino-based-web-2.0-website.htm Domino Rob Wunderlich http://www.dominounplugged.com/Hosting/dominounplugged/home2.nsf/dx/looking-for-some-great-domino-based-web-2.0-website.htm?opendocument&comments http://www.dominounplugged.com/Hosting/dominounplugged/home2.nsf/dx/looking-for-some-great-domino-based-web-2.0-website.htm

Working on my sessions for ADMIN/Lotus Developer, and need a favor from the loyalists out there ...

I'm looking for some new examples of great Domino-based, Web 2.0 websites. That is, sites that are employing any of the major tenets of Web 2.0, but have a Domino engine hiding in back.

Obviously, sites like IdeaJam leap to mind ... but I'm curious what else is out there that people might recommend.

Feel free to comment here, send me an email, Tweet it - find me on Sametime at BleedYellow - any means of communication are fine!

I'm constantly amazed at the insights to be found on Seth Godin's blog. Today he was discussing Mark Cuban's offer to fund startups. Seth thought it was an interesting idea, and married it to a post on Samba (his "alternate MBA" program) about 999 business ideas.

A number of people commented on the Samba post - saying that just seeing the list was 'inspiring' - and it is.

Go take a look ... some great ideas.

And, another great example of social software / social networks at work.

As some of you may have seen in my Tweets and Facebook status messages recently, I've been amazed at the power of social networks.
 
No secret, I'm job hunting. But, what is interesting (especially to me, frankly) is that to date, I've not employed the typical job hunting tools. That is, I have yet to send out a flurry of resumes to every commercial organization in North America. Or post on Monster, CareerBuilder and Fred's Job Hunt and Plumbing Tools site.

Instead, my social network has sprung to life.

I've had dozens - literally - of notes, comments and emails, and have now been asked over a dozen times for me resume, rather than me begging people to take a look at it.

I'm not sure what will happen - no actual 'offers' have materialized yet - but this does feel encouraging. And, uh, should you hear of anything .... well, let me know ...

But, in the meantime, check out the 999 great business ideas ... maybe we should collaborate! ]]> http://www.dominounplugged.com/Hosting/dominounplugged/home2.nsf/dxcomments/999-great-business-ideas.htm http://www.dominounplugged.com/Hosting/dominounplugged/home2.nsf/dx/999-great-business-ideas.htm?opendocument&comments Wed, 4 Feb 2009 16:20:02 -0400 http://www.dominounplugged.com/Hosting/dominounplugged/home2.nsf/dx/mitch-posts-a-great-connections-resources-page.htm Lotusphere2009 Rob Wunderlich http://www.dominounplugged.com/Hosting/dominounplugged/home2.nsf/dx/mitch-posts-a-great-connections-resources-page.htm?opendocument&comments http://www.dominounplugged.com/Hosting/dominounplugged/home2.nsf/dx/mitch-posts-a-great-connections-resources-page.htm Lotus Connections Resources" page.

Mitch (commonly known as Curious Mitch) did an admirable job at Lotusphere this year. Alongside Chris Whisonet, Mitch did a "we can install Connections in Two Hours" show and tell session.  They ALMOST made it. Good session - grab the slides while they're still available.

I had tried some time ago to collect some of the disparate resources on Connections. Check here and here. Mitch did a far better job of tracking down all the IBM spots (like all the hotfixes, etc.).

Well done, oh Curious One !!

And, in other news ....

Wanted to say thanks to all the various folks who either left a comment here last week, or sent me emails, or pinged me on Sametime, or Facebook or Twitter or whatever.

Nice to know there are so many caring folks out there.

The net result of all the various messages has not exactly been a flood of job offers yet, but there has been a lot of conversation ... and that's good.

Still looking, and I promise to keep you posted ...

Needless to say, this sure isn't the scenario I would have written - I truly enjoyed what I was doing at IBM, enjoyed working for IBM and thoroughly enjoyed working with all the people I was working with.

So, not happy news.

But, this does give me the opportunity to take a fresh look at career plans, etc., which, I guess, is a good thing.

As anyone who follows this blog is aware, I've had a long-time affection for mobile devices and how to deliver enterprise content to those devices. I did a lot of work in the Domino/Mobile arena, and more recently, had been working with the Lotus Connections team on their forthcoming mobile client (and had presented at Lotusphere on the topic).

I consider myself  pretty good at bridging the gap between business and technology, and have played roles such as evangelist, technical sales, product manager,  published author, presenter, instructor and blogger / webmaster / wikimaster / social marketeer / community builder. I've even got a few certifications.

And, I'm available ...

If you hear of anything interesting, please contact me:  rob at gmail dot com

Thanks, gang.

I'll keep you posted. ]]> http://www.dominounplugged.com/Hosting/dominounplugged/home2.nsf/dxcomments/rumors-are-true-i-am-looking-for-a-new-job.htm http://www.dominounplugged.com/Hosting/dominounplugged/home2.nsf/dx/rumors-are-true-i-am-looking-for-a-new-job.htm?opendocument&comments Mon, 19 Jan 2009 22:00:00 -0400 http://www.dominounplugged.com/Hosting/dominounplugged/home2.nsf/dx/blackberry-at-lotusphere.htm blackBerry Rob Wunderlich http://www.dominounplugged.com/Hosting/dominounplugged/home2.nsf/dx/blackberry-at-lotusphere.htm?opendocument&comments http://www.dominounplugged.com/Hosting/dominounplugged/home2.nsf/dx/blackberry-at-lotusphere.htm
But, his presence had to do with some of the big announcements coming from RIM - support for Domino 8.5 (a mere couple weeks after it shipped gold), support for Quickr, and enhancements to the BlackBerry Client for Lotus Connections.

I have the pleasure of presenting with Valerie Wang, RIM's Product Manager for Enterprise Messaging and Collaboration (along with Jon Hale, the development lead for IBM mobile web implementation), and Valerie will be doing a live demo of the enhancements - and they're pretty neat!

Meanwhile, BlackBerry is repeating past performance at Lotusphere, with a significant presence on the exhibit floor, several side events, and a series of "not on the agenda" breakout sessions, like The Future BlackBerry Enterprise Solution, Best Practices for BlackBerry Administrators and BlackBerry Application Development for IBM Lotus Domino.

Most of these sessions take place on Tuesday and Wednesday - so be sure to check the schedule.

The details are all listed in the PDF file attached here: >>   UnifyYourWorldBrochure.pdf
