Lotus vs. SharePoint on Slashdot is pretty much the standard Slashdot spam/abuse fest these days, however if you're interested, you might find an interesting quote or two in there.Link: Slashdot: Lotus vs. SharePoint
Volker asks the question "What's wrong with Lotus?". It's a good question.My 2c, is that Lotus is a lot more catchier than WPLC, and will look better on T-Shirts and Caps too.
This sort of code is always a worry. For the slow among you, it's php code designed to log an error when a connection can't be established to the database. Where are the errors logged? To the database stupid, where else?
The 2.0 beta for Resharper is available for download here.I've always had a bit of an issue in becoming too dependant on tools such as Resharper, however after using the 1.1 version for a few weeks I'm starting to get hooked. You need to take some time out to remember to stop and use the shortcuts, but once you've got them in your head, they'll save you a lot of time in the long run.However, despite some of it's handy hotkeyed features, I'm really appreciating small things such as auto insertion of missing using statements, auto highlighting of unused variables,...
Ed Brill writes a bit about some features to be included in the Notes/Domino here.I'm very interested in seeing how the Dominoblog and RSS template implementation ends up looking, The comment is made that the RSS implementation is not a code change, but merely an IBM magic wand branding of one of the many current Notes implementations of an RSS aggregator.

A while back I wrote about exporting my calendar from Notes in order to use it with the Sony Ericcson K750i. At the time, the only semi useful thing I could find were the old routines in the Sandbox for R5, and I couldn't be arsed spending the time to modify them.Well, it seems my procrastinating has paid off. Someone's updated them for R6/R7, and posted the code here. Which shows that procrastination can sometimes be a good thing.
About me
My name is Ross Hawkins and I'm a developer, consultant, business owner and writer based in Auckland,

SQL Server, and a mix of other Microsoft development technologies.
I also have about 15 years of experience with IBM Lotus Notes/Domino and associated technologies. While Notes/Domino
is no longer my primary focus I still like to dabble and keep my skills up to date.
I own and run 2 businesses - Hawkins Consulting Services,
and Ignition Development.

Microsoft AJAX Extensions: Sys.Debug is null or not an object
One of the breaking changes which was made with
the 1.0 release of the Microsoft Ajax Extensions was the renaming
of the 'Debug' class to 'Sys.Debug' for reasons of compatiability

Simple ASP.NET Character Counter
A textbox character counter is a pretty simple piece of functionality, and there's a lot of different ways to apply one to your application. The following method is nice and simple, and can be done using only clientside JavaScript if required, or combined with server side code in order to create a more dynamic effect

Adding Tooltips to Gridview Headers
As the title says, this is a very simple but dynamic way of achieving tooltip text on a header column. It's not overly flash, but it's lightweight and quick to implement.
