The Feminization of the Family

The The Feminization of the Family is not about having the man rule over a woman but it does explain the different roles a husband and wife are supposed to play.

IBM tools for Domino

I found two more developer tools from Lotus to my list for Notes/Domino.  DSKTool and UNK Table Size that will be used along with DDSearch and NotesPeek.  I also use ANTRID but it is no longer developed by Lotus.

What other developer tools do you use from Lotus?

Bloglines Hotkeys

Bloglines has added some new hotkeys just like Gmail by Google.  The hotkeys work great and make the navigating much easier and quicker. 

You can now navigate through Bloglines with hotkeys! You will find this legend at the bottom of each feed display page.
Hotkeys: j - next article k - previous article s - next sub f - next folder A - read all r - refresh left pane

I would like to see them set the focus to the right pane after using the hotkeys so that  I can continue to use the keyboard and scroll through the message.

Ages and versions

Should software version be more like ages? Tim commented on the way I wrote my kids ages. This might be like what Microsoft did with Windows 95 and 98.
Should software be described by how old it is not by the release or version. That would make windows 20, 25 if you want to start when it was conceived but since human ages don't start until birth it would be 20. Here is Windows family tree Has anyone ever seen a Notes family tree?

Who ever came up with alpha and beta, and why is there not never agamma version? I just might have to have a gamma release for my next application.

Thanks, Tim for the idea.

No colored thumbs, but applesauce

I have had purple thumbs and green thumbs. What colored thumbs does a person have when cutting apples to make applesauce? Tonight my four boys and I cut Gaja apples to make applesauce. The twins are 4.5 had the task of twisting off the stems and cleaning up the peals and cores. Ezra, almost 7, had the task of cutting up the apples into small pieces so they cook faster. Later in the night he started to peal the apples. At first he said he could not do it, but after some coaching he said, "Dad that is how you do it, that is much easier". Calvin, 8.5 got to peal apples all night and at the most peals. In the end they all enjoyed the rewards of fresh hot applesauce.
