Lately I needed to parse format that Cisco uses for specifying transfer masks and route patterns to an array of telephone numbers a user could choose from. I wrote a neat javascript function that traverses the string and does what needed. I even wrote a neat recursive function that displayed the numbers in HTML select […]
Lately I have been marked as a ‘reinventing the wheel’ guy. I don’t object to that. After all, when I see this cool new feature, I just need to see how it was made. And since I am there, I can also test my skills and rewrite it. But is it really that bad to […]
Ending up a big project, I was brimming with confidence. The code was well structured, it ran fast despite using external web services and on top of that, it worked on test system. Oh boy, did it work. I should have seen a warning sign there. But no. I let my vanity kick in and […]
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 […]

Which is annoying to say the least And while we are on subjects, they don’t trim tabs as well. I have already posted this on IdeaJam, so if you feel you […]
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 […]
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. Until IE steps into the picture. I don’t know if the same behaviour is in […]
With the abundance of posts out there, I thought I would chip in my 5 cents worth. Yes, I know I am a bit late. Release 8.5.1 is for LotusScript developer everything he could ever hope for. Specially if you are into OO programming. Finally you don’t have to check your old classes what parameters […]
