Web services and arrays in LotusScript

Recently, I was working on an agent that used a web service to export data. Now, I don’t know if you noticed, but for some reason, consuming services is way easier in LotusScript than it is in Java. As far as I know, and I could be wrong, you need to import Axis in Java [...]

StackOverflow

There is a new player in town, and Stackoverflow is his name. This might sound like a commercial, but it is true. How many times have you searched for a problem / solution and you got zilch, or in best case got a link to well known site that requested you pay for the answer [...]

JQuery, AJAX and IE

On our FlipIT service web page, we experienced an interesting problem. There is a “Did you know” (DYK) section that refreshes upon clicking the link. Behind all that is an AJAX created with JQuery $.get method. All normal thus far.

Installing Lotus Connections 2.0.1 on Linux

A while back, I decided to install Lotus Connections at work to ease communication, enable all important project awareness and to share our common links etc. First thing that caught my eye were system specs. Now, I don’t mean to be rude, but it looks like one would need NASA supercomputer just to run this thing. [...]
