What I wanted to be when I grew up or what I went to school for and now I do Notes

A while ago some colleagues and myself were discussing our backgrounds and some interesting points came up. The Lotus Notes space seems to have a lot of degrees other than Computer Science related. I for one am am perfect example. I went to school for Culinary arts. Yes I wanted to be a chef when I grew up!

I know of a master cabinet maker who is a fantastic Admin. I know another person who studied to be an archeologist. So who has the most offbeat education? Spread the word this could be a fun discussion

Busy Busy Busy

Been busy at the day job traveling to Calgary Alberta Canada last week.
Had some Notes 8.5 weirdness while I was up there and again today.

The client ui (Eclipse) Looked as though it was loading. I would even get new mail notifications and calendar alerts, but the client UI never came up. I would click on the new mail icon in the windows task bar and it would disappear. Only way to fix the problem was to completely remove and re-install 8.5. Now today's issue was caused by a plug-in not updating successfully I think. I need to watch it more to see if it is the case.

One thing I have been hearing consistently is that new developers do not know where to go to learn about Domino/Notes. Yes training would help them, but these days no one has budget for that. So over the next few posts I will be gathering all of the links, sources, references, ETC that would be helpful and present them here. If there is anything specific you would like to see please respond here and let me know.

The weekend is almost here!!!!!
