Die Entscheidung wird Ihnen leicht fallen! | So, RIM - do you have any intentions of having a similar offering for the IBM Lotus Domino (Express/Foundations) customers in place ? If not, do you really think it is a good idea to make one of your most loyal community parts REALLY angry ? The Blackberry solution was a real key solution in the mobile area in the domino space for years - I can't believe that RIM really wants to erode the support of this community for their platform ! So, please, rethink and make a similar offer available for the Lotus stack ! Heiko. Heiko Voigt 30 April 2010 12:53:00What an announcement, One day after the annoucement that HP will buy Palm, I am slightly positive, that this will help some good peaces of technology (Palm Pre and WebOS) to survive in the mobile market. Regarding the financial and technological capacity of HP, Palm seems to have finally found a solid new home and I'm really looking foreward to new devices and WebOS releases. This will also help the sales figures for Palm devices - now, the security is there that yo do not buy a dead product / platform when turniung to a Pre or a Pixi. And finally - I hope IBM will soon be able to deliver a supported Lotus Traveler for the WebOS stack - there's not a long way to go ! HP puts itself back in the ring of an state-of-the-art mobile phone and mobile platform provider - not a bad move so far. I'm really keen to see some more of the joint strategy from HP and Palm in the near future. When the dust clears, we'll see whether Palm will rise again or just dorm to death in the arms of HP. I hope for the best ! Having alternative products and platforms to choose from is something I really appreciate, especially when I look at the (for me) irritating and embarrasing behaviour of Apple in this segment over the last weeks and months. We need choice - and Palm's survival is another piece of choice that keeps this market open and moving. Heiko. Heiko Voigt 30 March 2010 19:42:44Well, since about two months now, I have two smartphones for a longer testing phase in parallel use. Not the most common combination I guess, nevertheless interesting in daily use for me. So, after having them in parallel for quite some time, I can write down a few comparisions: BlackBerry Bold 9700 - positive:
- Rock solid e-mail machine.
- Fast, reliable, after configuring my home wifi zones at the office and at home, it automatically switches to best and least cost connections
- The new linked.in app is cool stuff to mee
- The most used app is blackberry messenger. The easiest way for me to chat with my colleagues and friends, send pictures, sound files and videos
- The Bold has a good camera, enough space out of the box and compared with my old bb, it's really fast
- Lotus Notes Mail, Calendar, Contact sync is a snap as always
- Migration from my old bb was done in a snap without losing a bit of content
- Battery lifetime is ok - three business days including mail and phone usage
- Programming Interfaces to Notes using the Java SDK is really easy
negative: the browser - I am really missing WebKit Lotus Sametime eats up the battery like crazy, so I don't use it heavily Expensive infrastructure using BES Quickr app currently only for Quickr J2EE and no "run your business" version for Business Partners Palm Pré - positive:
- Interface, Interface, interface: the user experience is just great and intuitive to me. Also, the card paradigm and multitasking is really great
- Integration with Lotus Traveler was a snap - I wish, IBM would support the Pré with the Traveler functions
- Mail-Interface is way better than the bb experience, so is the calendar interface
- WebKit Browser and rendering engine makes mobile web really usefull
- Size of the device is really a good compromise between display size and handyness of the device itself
- Wifi Integration and Bluetooth integration, tethering with homebrew
negative: Battery lifetime, hardly a day, which is way too short Lacking Sametime - I did not look for an alternative app yet - can someone recommend one ? Market development - not sure, if Palm will be able to keep up So, as a result, I would not prefer one over the other. For my main business, the Blackberry is perfect as a rock solid infrastructure. It has all I need to go through a business day without opening my laptop. For my wine shop, the Pré is perfect as well - good phone, good web enigne and all appointments and mails at hand as well. Checking out a website of a wine maker ? Hard on the BB, easy on the Pré. And - the Pré has some understatement. If I had an iPhone, I would get a lot of ironic comments - the Pré looks just like ANY mobile phone, even though it is much much more. Would I buy the two again ? For the same two scenarios - yes. But I will have a look and Android for the future - maybe that plattform will make me do with only one device. Heiko. Heiko Voigt 25 March 2010 14:30:41Hi, To all of you who have to deal with SOA based architectures - take a look at this PDF. If you need to integrate your applications using sca patterns this is really helpful. Even for Domino Shops that have to deal with integration aspects or offering services in a SOA/SCA architecture, this redpaper gives you a good understanding on the technical aspects of this matter. http://www.redbooks.ibm.com/abstracts/redp4633.html?Open Heiko.

Heiko Voigt 23 March 2010 00:45:00 Hi folks, most of the session speakers this year have delivered their presentations for download. I have extended our LCTY session database to add the presentations for download. Please use the link below to access the session database.
http://www.sit.de/SitPortal/sitlctysdb.nsf/StartupmitLayout.xsp regards, Heiko. Heiko Voigt 22 March 2010 09:33:00Wow. The last days were really a struggle - but we're done with our LCTY last week. And it was an awesome event - 120 participants, Kevin Cavanaugh as the keynote speaker, Harald Kiehle with second keynote regarding "Smarter Work" and nine breakout session ranging from SaaS over Portal and Mashups to Connections and Mobile Phone Integration. Here are some impressions from the event. You can see some more pictures on: http://www.sit.de/Sit/sitbilder.nsf/$v-lu-categories/LCTY-2010     Thanks to all who contributed to this successfull event and see you soon ! Heiko. Heiko Voigt 11 March 2010 19:43:28Phew., another move foreward - I finished my blackberry demo app for the mobile phone session at our LCTY on march 19th, Here are some Screeenshots of what it does:  The app shows a list of all LCTY Sessions. The list gets pulled from a Domino Server  You can download / update the list via the menu - the data gets stored locally on the blackberry device. I pull the data via ?readviewentries  There's a second option to show the details of a session....  The app tells me what I selected...  It shows me the details of the session and I can rate the session (1 best, 6=worst)  I can then send the rating back to Domino where it is stored as a Notes Document related to the session for later evaluation. So - CRUD Roundtripping using WiFi, Edge or other connections over HTTP(s) from the Blackberry. That was fun ! See you in Ehningen ! Heiko. Heiko Voigt 10 March 2010 10:46:41Liebe Teilnehmer & Interessenten, | | Es ist uns gelungen, einen weiteren prominenten Gastredner für unsere Lotusphere Comes To You Veranstaltung am 19.03.2010 zu gewinnen.

Bis zum 19. März in Ehningen, Heiko Voigt, SIT GmbH Heiko Voigt 5 March 2010 19:46:01Today was the day. As I have my "the geek plays around" Palm Pre for over a month, I now found the time to set up a Lotus Traveler Server and connect the Pre to it. Yep, for now, this is not supported - but, hey, it's working ! So far I'm very impressed: - Creating a new server id: 3 Minutes
- Setting up Domino: 1/2 hour
- Setting up Traveler: 15 minutes
- Fiirewall stuff, SSL & Co. 15 minutes
- Connecting the Pre and syncing Contacts, Mail & Calendar: 5 Minutes
So, overall: 1 hour 08 minutes from scratch. Great Job IBM, great Job Palm ! Now, that's what I call "consumability" - who tells the freakin' Sametime developers for 8.5 how to do this ???? That's it for today - gotta stress my Pré a bit more.... Heiko. Heiko Voigt 7 February 2010 15:50:51Hi all, as stated on a lot of other blogs - IBM made the first public beta of Lotus Symphony V3 available. This new version is based on OpenOffice Version 3 in contrast to the Oo 1.1 base of Symphony 1.x . From what I've seen up to now, this is a huge step foreward. Download it here: http://symphony.lotus.com/software/lotus/symphony/home.nsf/home and give it a try ! Heiko. Heiko Voigt 5 February 2010 10:20:04The latest hotfix for Quickr 8.,2 is available on IBM Fix Central, and while it addresses a small number of issues it's recommended to update right away. If you're using our PandaBear, Flippr, or SnappFiles clients, it's even more important. Here are the included fixes: | BBAR826LEU | Via the Rest API, using the pagesize parameter without using the page parameter may crash the Domino Server. | | JRIE7YXGDM | The Notify context menu option does not work for documents in a workflow. | | XHKG7CG5GU | After adding a local group to a room’s security, clicking the Member Profile of the group gives an invalid Member Profile. | | RALF7ZPQYQ | Usage Statistics page does not show all places for a user logged in as a Super User. | | KABS7U6VGX | Mail not sent to next approver when using a Workflow form from Connectors. | Heiko Voigt 3 February 2010 20:25:58Hach Kinder, irgendwie werden die Deutsche Bahn und ich keine Freunde. Tage wie heute sind für mich als passionierten Autofahrer wahrscheinlich ähnlich schlimm, als wenn man als Lotus Notes Fanboy gezwungen wird mit Outlook zu arbeiten, Man ahnt, das kann nichts werden und so kommt es dann auch. Dabei hatte wie so oft alles so gut angefangen - der Regionalexpress von Herrenberg nach Stuttgart kam pünktlich, ich hatte einen Sitzplatz und wir waren pünktlich in Stuggi Hauptbahnhof. Und dann kam der ICE nach Mannheim. Bzw. er kam nicht - erstmal. Meine Umsteigezeit in Mannheim nach Frankfurt Fernbahnhof (heute war DNUG Vorstandssitzung) schmolz zusammen. Dann, 10 Minuten verspätet die Ankunft. Rein Sitzplatz freikämpfen ("...ja, ich habe reserviert, sehen Sie hier, Sie sind im falschen Wagen..."), hinsetzen, losfahren... . Moment, losfahren ?! Mitnichten - "... Sehr geehrte Fahrgäste, aufgrund eines Triebkopfschadens verzögert sich unsere Abfahrt um ca. 10 Minuten...Wir bitten bla bla ba ... zu entschuldigen ..." . Nach 10 Minuten geht's tatsächlich los, dann, kurz vor Mannheim, die nächste Durchsage : "... leider konnten die Anschlusszüge a, b und c nicht warten... nächste Verbindung zum Fernbahnhof...:" . Insgesamt dann über eine Stunde Verspätung bei zwei Haltestellen. Und zurück ein Spiel mit Abwandlung - zu wenige Wagen, daher die Platzreservierungen weg. 12 Minuten Verspätung, Anschlusszug weg. Alles kleine Probleme. wie mir meine Mitreisenden versicherten. Ein Mann, der täglich nach Frankfurt pendelt ist diese Woche nicht ein einziges Mal pünktlich morgens oder abends ankam. Einmal musste er wegen Zugausfall sogar in Frankfurt übernachten. Nein, die Deutsche Bahn und ich - dieses Verhältnis ist mehr als nachhaltig gestört. Teuer, dreckig, eng, fehleranfällig und unzuverlässig - nach dem Güterverkehr soll jetzt wohl der der Personenverkehr versenkt werden. Die Aussichten sind gut - das wird klappen. Leid tut mir das Personal, Das Zugpersonal muss sich für den ganzen Schlamassel entschuldigen und steht den Kunden gegenüber und kann doch nur den Mangel und die Fehler des Konzerns resigniert vertreten, Dass in diesem Laden noch etwas funktioniert, liegt am Personal der Bahn. Ich bin gespannt, wie lange die Angestellten ihre Motivation noch aufrecht erhalten können. Heiko. Heiko Voigt 26 January 2010 21:44:38Bestes Zitat des Tages - gerade gehört von einem Dampfplauder-Experten in Frontal 21 (ZDF): "... Die Vergreisung der Bevölkerung fördert die innere Sicherheit... " Na Mahlzeit. Kein Wunder wurde Schnüffel-Schäuble sein Job zu langweilig. Nachdenklich, Heiko.
