The Future of Domino
IBM Domino has been making headlines recently, and rightfully so. Last month it was announced that IBM had sold the final components of their 1995 acquisition of Lotus to HCL for $1.8 billion.

Give Us A Verse, Drop Some Knowledge
At CollabSphere 2018 there were presentations on Verse on Premises. I included a mention of Verse on Premises in my presentation that discussed Domino as a Web Server. Verse is just another way of displaying a Domino mail file. Think of this in the same manner as the Notes client and iNotes. You can view your mail file using the Notes Read More

My Top Ten Favorites from DominoV10
IBM Think turned out to be a great week. There was lots of information around security, cryptology, blockchain, quantum computing, and most exciting to me Notes DominoV10.

Wrangling Notes Client Security
When I started working with Lotus Notes in 1994, there was only the Lotus Notes client in the client server model. Majority of the workstations were located in the same geographical location on the same LAN as the server and remote users were also Lotus Notes clients that dialed in to the server via a modem.
