SnT Thursday – View Icons as Categories
I like to check how referrers are getting to this blog, so I use the view 'Referers\All by Date' view to monitor it. One of my frustrations about this view is that either a refer is marked as valid or invalid. Which is not totally accurate because not all invalid entries have been validated. So I added a third icon that indicates that the referrer has not been validated. The third icon helped but I still found myself wasting time looking through the documents.
To speed things up I added categorization (descending order) to the indicator column and my view now looks like this:
There is only one thing wrong with this, no twisties! As you can see (second picture) I do have them set to show. Even tried using my own 'Twistie Image' but still no luck. When 'Display values as icons' is disabled the twisties appear in Notes. No matter the setting for this column the twisties always show on the web, thanks Lotus for the consistency.
The column formula is very simple:
@If(Verify = 1; 82; Verify = 0; 81; 162)
Update: It seems that the view icon is the twistie because clicking on the image once expands or collapses it.
Edit Document Fields 6.0.0
I never thought that this tool would have such a history , but it is still saves me time every day. I am really exited about this release because a history of the values is being kept. This history will now be selectable in the prompt when entering a new value. The error handling and messages have also greatly improved. Download Edit Document 6.0.0 or if you would like to step threw the code break down and learn what is happening.

Fixing the bifold door
A bifold door in a bedroom was no longer working, the peg that the door swung on had fallen out because it was extended beyound what it is designed to handle. The peg needed to be exted though because the carpeting is so tall. The pivot point of the bifold door was my deck that was left to build up the pivot point . Now the door swings nicely and is above the carpeting.
SnT Thursday – Tray It!
This is one of small but useful tools that I have been using for some time.
It is particularly useful for background tasks you typically keep running on your PC all day long like your favorite E-mail client, Real Player, etc.
Try It! has improved since my last post, it has a much nicer UI. Even though it is only in beta , it has been very stable for me and worth the risk. Here is the new improved list of applications running 
I have circled the features that I have set. I am always up for single clicking instead of that double stuff, except for Lotus Notes double right click! 
.
For some applications like Microsoft Active Sync or Google Talk there is already a system try icon, so selecting the option not to show in the system tray just makes sense. 
Answering the phone
I needed to call someone last week that I don't talk to often in person or on the phone. Not a big deal but the person the other end answered with "Hello", that was it. Not "Hello this is Jane" or "Hello Doe's, this is John". I was caught off guard by this and was a little concerned that I might have the wrong number. What ever happened to introductions? We are teaching our boys to say "Hello Schelfhout's, this is Calvin". I am a little less formal on my cell phone and say "Hello this is Chad". I understand times are changing but there still needs to be some courtesy. How do you answer you phone? Do you wish people would answer with more than hello or ya? Maybe if this keeps up, the person will pick up the phone and not say anything.
