Vlad Tatarincevs's Lotus Domino Blog

 According to http://www-10.lotus.com/ldd/r5fixlist.nsf/(Progress)/852  Lotus Domino 8.5.2 and Lotus Notes are in GOLD BUILD status. That means it will be posted soon :) lets just have a great weekend and will play with 8.5.2 when it will be published.

I was long time ago,... In a galaxy far away....

In 1998, August 5th, birthday of my Mother, I came to work. I was working in a bank, in SWIFT department, I got call from my boss, that he wants to see me.
Then I came to see him, he told me that I will be responsible for new system, called "Lotus Notes". I had several Yellow carton Boxes with Lotus Documentation (admin/designer) printed books -  BEST RESOURCE at that time I had.. :) later when we connected to Internet, notes.net was my favourite :)
So 12 years ago I was introduced to Lotus 4.5 and 4.6.a versions. Two years later, I have done my first migration from 4.6->5.0, also developed many simple applications, that are STILL used by this customer!!!

Lotus is just Great!!!!
I am happy, that I work with it and I am still Fan for Lotus software. :)   For that time I have managed to get certification in 4.6 as Lotus Specialst  and Principal Admin/Developer(DUAL), 5.x, 6x. 7.x, 8.x, 8.5..x as well Lotus Instructor from 6.x->8.5x, and in some other IBM brands.

Very good Gabriella Davis post on Sametime 8.5.1 is here.

Let's download, and check whats new... :)

Upgraded my Nokia to new Firmware. Good news is that Lotus Traveler now comes with new firmware. :)

I have noticed, that if after new Firmware installed, and you try restore not only Address book, but also "Phone settings and Apps" then phone is unable to make GPRS/WiFi connection.
I had this problem several times, just restoring messages and Address book (without phone settings and apps) solves problem, (you need reinstall firmware and then choose to restore address book only).   this is quite annoying ... because Blackberry and Apple performs upgrade in more user friendly way.

Just added TripIt badge, so you can see where I am, :) may be this would help me to meet more interesting people, :) or visit exciting events :)

Nokia published new firmware for Nokia E71. After my  last firmware upgrade I have lost GPRS and Wireless connections. just "Connection not available" making WiFi or GPRS connection.
Reinstalling firmware solved issue, but still.. not pleasant. New Firmware is version 500. so there are not minor bugfixes, but seems also new features...
in this FW Lotus Notes Traveler or Lotus Traveler is installed? nice. :)
