Is 64k too much for Domino?

Here is your chance to tell IBM what YOU want in Notes/Domino 8.5
by Volker Weber
Andrew has an excellent posting that needs your comments:
It isn't a secret that I'm in the Design Partner program. Because of that, I can't (and won't) talk about what is or is not getting done in the pre-beta releases and information we're seeing. I won't even hint at it by telling you what my expectations are for the release. I don't want you to glean from me what I think is good and bad in the current program. I think it might be refreshing, however, for some of the IBM'ers who read this blog to hear what you have to say. I want to make sure that opinions on the inside of the Big Blue Wall match those on the Outside of it.
Let me just say that some Design Partners seem to be frustrated to no end. You also saw some people leaving IBM. Here is your chance to tell IBM which hard problems to solve instead of coming out with more and more shiny dangly stuff.

Bye bye to two subnets from India
by Volker Weber
Two spam comments from the same subnet in India:
Two clicks each and the spam comments are gone. Then one trip to Terminal:
whois 122.163.23.45
inetnum: 122.162.0.0 - 122.163.255.255
netname: ABTS-DSL-8972-del
descr: ABTS DELHI,
descr: Broadband and Telephone Service 224,Okhla Phase III,
descr: New Delhi
descr: Delhi
descr: India
And add one line to .htaccess:
deny from 122.162.0.0/15
Case closed. Bye, bye.

Office 2008 SP1 install causes setup assistant to loop
by Volker Weber
After applying the Office 2008 for Mac SP1 Updater, some uses are experiencing a problem where the Setup Assistant starts up every time they try to launch any Office application.
This situation is a result of when the Office Setup Assistant detects that an invalid Product Key was used to install Office 2008. David Pelton, Microsoft MacBU core lead test has outlined below how to fix the problem and requests users to work with him to help chase down the issue to keep it from happening in the future.
This does not look like a bug to me. :-)

BlackBerry Lotus Connections client scores only 2 out of 5
by Volker Weber
IBM releases a Connections client for the BlackBerry which leaves a lot to be desired. It's currently only covering two out of the five Connections subsets: Profiles and DogEar. Profiles is a good thing, but DogEar is less exciting since you can't browse the web with a BlackBerry in any meaningful way anyhow.
Setup was extremely easy. Download from RIM, install with javaloader, enter user name, password and server. Off you go. Here is a screenshot from Profiles:
What is sadly missing is Activities. That would be information you need when away from your desk. If you select Activities – or Communities, or Blogs – you are being thrown into the browser and dropped off at the login prompt of the general desktop experience:
No Activities client on the device, not even a device UI on the Portal. That's very disappointing. Yeah, the next version ...
