Long overdue.

I believe this is now the case with the 8.5 mail template. In an area right below subject. So - congratulations!

Now if we could programmatically sync Notes with folks .mac / mobileMe.com account...

My 2c. Domino support for BlackBerry is fantastic. But if we have a pile of C-Level folks, who want the iPhone, we *have* to support them. If we dont, then we create the situation where one of those folks will pull the plug on Domino.

It is a frankly brilliant piece of sharp business by the folks at Redmond, and you really have to stand in slack-jawed amazement at their sheer evilness.

*When* we're at the stage of supporting those iPhone users, then the issue of security and feature comparison can be made.. Before that - they basically dont believe the CIO. And with good cause -remember the y2k fiasco ?

Myself, I have little faith in IBM supplying a quick fix to this. Getting *anything* done in IBM involves management by committee ('A committee is an animal with four back legs') and so they're are a real 'elephant' in terms of response. Its a bit unfair of us to ask the folks we know (and sometimes like) to commit more time to causes like these - its tiring pushing that rock up the constant hill.

Lets not forget, two years ago, the folks in Westford had to supply their *own* pens and paper. Whilst working for the biggest computer company in the world, with multi-billion profits.

So like grandchildren running amok around the feet of an aging (and sometimes senile) grandparent, we have to push gently, cajole and encourage our less able family member to act. Screaming at them, whilst fun, achieves nothing.

(Lest the MS brigade find this post, it should be pointed out that 'Grandad Balmers' bed in the retirement home is ready and waiting...)

Richard - what you've just described is a slightly smarter queue-based trigger mechanism - which still needs to start up and establish workloads every five minutes or so.

What I'm proposing is a flexible way of telling Amgr that this agent would like to be woken up (reliably) at some point in the future (where presumably it could *still* run the same workload management if required).

Thus reducing the amount of load that Amgr has - imagine on a large server, how many templates have 5-minute agents, each wakening up, establishing workload, etc.. I've seen 'thousands' of database instances all trying to do this.

And the bad news. The Scottish and Newcastle brewery -home of Newcastle brown - has been acquired by Heineken. Dunno what this means to Newcastle Broon..

I agree with the sentiment of this posting - from the bottom of my heart. However, folks, all is not lost. The Big River Brewing Company (next to JellyRolls on the boardwalk) is a microbrewery... ;-)

Ummm. Nathan - best to find out *why* people dislike the idea before getting excited.

I can see both ends of the argument... And I voted for you because in the apps I see, this would be very very useful. This doesnt mean Ben's wrong.. ;-)

*cough* your assuming that they use a database to create the schedule, yes ?


---* Bill

Agree. This would really help with documenting and/or autotesting..

---* Bill

Absolutely. This has been bugging me since at least v5...

Whilst I feel your pain - I just initialise them when I create em with an 'empty' first parameter..
