A no-brainer for Lotusphere
Lumme, this looks like it could well be a massive Lotusphere highlight. I am so intrigued…
For the uninitiated, the Great Code Giveaway is a plain old Lotusphere session (BP215 this time, Monday afternoon) with a twist. About $100,000 in Domino development innovation, on a subject never done before, is presented in-depth then given away to the community. This year is no exception. And more people than ever will benefit from the session this time—we’ve built that in.
Why the secrecy? It’s fun. I like secrets. This year, like last year, I’ve even kept the Lotusphere track managers from knowing what’s really going on… vague is the order of the day on the slides!
I will tell you this: It’s Domino. Not Quickr. Not Sametime. Not purple. Domino. It’s not XPages stuff, there’ll be a lot of other coverage on that. It will, like in our past sessions, work with many versions. And I hope, at least a little, it will change the way people think of the Domino web server.
Rob gives an amazing presentation; it’s a no-brainer that if you’re a developer you need to attend this session.

Resolutions? Pah!
… Don’t believe in ’em, don’t do ’em. However, if you read famous old posts like this with furrowed brow and guilty conscience, perhaps you need to make at least one resolution:
Dear Lazyweb, and also a certain you-know-who-you-are who should certainly know better by now,
I am here to tell you about backups. It’s very simple.
In addition to the excellent advice, this post also contains one of the best quotes about technology ever.

Tweety wordles
Inspired by Stuart’s post I did a wordle of tweets:
What fun! And actually interesting to see what words are most popular. It would appear that I think “that new old Domino is good”!

That was the year that was
Hmm. A funny old year, 2008. I can’t say I will miss it on certain levels. However there were a lot positives—or at least, notable moments:
- Family and friends are hale, hearty and happy
- Work continues apace; haven’t really had room to take stock, but it’s all good (10% rate cuts notwithstanding!)
- ILUG 2008 and UKLUG 2008 were highlights. I am in awe of the Mooneys, Elsmores, Duffberts, Raineys, Whites, Coates, Woodwards, Buchans and Fitzgeralds of this world!
- Loving what my chums at Elguji Software are up to
- I like that twitter thing
- Amongst many notable deaths this year, two struck a particular chord here: Michael Crichton and Arthur C. Clarke
Thoughts / notes for 2009?
- London Developer Co-op! Woo hoo!
- Yeah yeah, DominoWiki… would you believe me if I said I have a release almost ready? No, thought not. Well I do. Honest guv!
- Blogging has been more miss than hit this year: I don’t really do resolutions, but I may make an exception there
- XPages: come to papa…
So, here’s to a healthy interesting 2009 for you all, and thanks for coming back.

London Developer Co-op activity
So, theoretically the Christmas / New Year gap is a quiet time. Hmm, so they say. Not being ones to stand still, those of us who make up the London Developer Co-op have been busy with a few site updates, setting up the ubiquitous twitter account and some other behind-the-scenes shenanigans involving actual code, specifications and proposals, server moves, and all sorts of stuff like that. What larks!
We are also delighted to announce two new members, a certain Mr. Julian Woodward and a gentleman by the name of Kieran Green—welcome chaps! You can read about Julian and Kieran on the members page of the LDC site. We will shortly update our portfolio page for added funkiness, but in the meantime you can still read about some of the things we’ve done there.
Exciting times. Do follow us to keep up

I defy you to finish this conversation
[16:33:32] Ben Poole: more squeaking
[16:34:05] Mark Myers: not if the cow is in a rubber suit
Tricky eh? So, Christmas is done for another year, and we fast approach 2009. Hope yours was good. I am off to indulge in more jQuery goodness for the next few days.
(Oh, and more cow squeaking of course).

Merry Christmas
(I don’t do the “Happy Holidays!” thing, sorry ;o) )
Merry Christmas to everyone out there, and thanks for dropping by. Lots of things afoot in the next few weeks, but for now it’s quiet time with family and friends, the way it should be. Good health and happiness to you all.
(P.S. did you know that Santa Gets Things Done with IBM Lotus Notes?)
