There is one thing you oughtn’t do in multi-domain environment. Ever. We did it, as it was needed to successfully connect Cisco Click-to-call plug-in for Sametime with Cisco Presence server.
So it is a year ago and some days since I officially joined blogging community. I started this blog with not many expectations. Just wanted to post my development rants/tips/hints/whatever somewhere in the visible web. I started of writing a post a week. Unfortunately real life started meddling, and that was soon reduced to 1 post biweekly. And this is most likely the format I will stick to, as it is damn hard to write something worth reading every 7 days.
I have been meaning to write this article for some time now. Never got around to write it. So… what am I on about? Well, remember all those beautiful web sites with latest design thing implemented. Enable Zoom Text Only in your Firefox browser (View->Zoom->Zoom Text Only) and zoom in or set larger fonts in windows, restart your machine, open your browser and check it out. Yes, that is what I am on about.
I remember as a kid, thinking that 30 is soooooooooooooooo far away and by then I will be really really old. Looking back, it wooshed by. Mostly.
Now, I need to get back to work. Then, later today, a decent meal and couple pints of beer. Hopefully.
This is what I came to ask myself constantly this past few months. Lately, I’ve been noticing that vast majority of all erra on server is due to some java library error. For example, we experience an annoying issue, when at certain point, Notes decide that some Crypto library is missing and doesn’t load up successfully. Not until you restart the server that is. IBMs suggestion was to reinstall the server, as apparently corresponding jar file got corrupted somewhere during upgrade (WTF?!). All fine and well, but this is a production server. A server that hosts thousand users daily. A server that quite frankly has no other issue but this one. There is definitely not going to be any reinstall taking place in near future.
Are Notes really built for Java? Because at this point it certainly fails to look so.
Helped to create this web site (and some other stuff, but let’s focus on web site at the moment). The site is in Slovenian and it presents an awesome idea to virtualize the desktop to maximize security and maintenance for minimal costs.
Writing HTML, CSS and JS for all those rounded buttons was fiddly, not to mention time consuming. The answer from designer: “You don’t need the design to float, scale, etc.”
Right. I will be covering that methodology (or wrongness of it) in one of my next posts. I just hope CSS3 support grows by 1000% in next week. Yeah, wishful thinking.
We have deployed Sametime some year hence in the company. Now it was time to upgrade its functionality and click to call just sounded as the right one. Not only it removes the need for you to browse company directory for telephone number of a person you want to call (you just do that from Sametime), but it also is able to display outside caller information, if you have their information in Server Directory Catalog (sdc.nsf) database.
I will try to cover configuration and deployment of Cisco Click To Call plug-in for Sametime integrated client. Beware, this plug-in will only work with Cisco telephones and Cisco Call Manager.
Anyone dealing with HTML will or already has encountered an interesting behavior of embedded objects and absolute positioned objects. When embedded object (e.g. flash animation) is positioned over part or entire absolute positioned object, absolute position object is always displayed behind embedded one.
After several efforts, I finally managed to move to my own place. The only problem is that internet doesn’t work properly. Everything else is just fine. Anyway, hoping to solve issues till next week. Unfortunatelly, this means there will be no post this week.
A funny thing happened to our servers on multiple occasions. Server system time was not equal to Domino server time. Some times they were even as much as 5 minutes apart.
