By David Leedy | 3/19/24 2:36 AM | Infrastructure - Notes / Domino | Added by Roberto Boccadoro
Here’s my first attempt at making a “Short” on YouTube. I have some topics that are just really quick and a full normal NotesIn9 is overkill. So that’s what “shorts” are far. So I figured I’d give it a try

Yesterday at Collabsphere I was in a great session by Dan Dumont that was simply titled “Source Control in Designer”.

By David Leedy | 9/26/16 10:55 AM | - | Added by Oliver Busse
This show is the sequel to my recent blog post titled “No More”. As I said in that post I HATE doing opinion stuff but feel that I now must. I also HATE talking about myself but because of things that happened at IconUK that is also a topic in the show. Because I wanted to talk about IconUK the show has grown bigger then I originally intended. Sorry that couldn’t be helped.
Just stunned….
By David Leedy | 9/16/16 1:15 PM | Business - Events / People | Added by Oliver Busse
I don’t know the who, the what, or the why. All I know is this happened today at IconUK in London England about 3,500 miles away from where I film my silly little screencast.
No More.

I hate doing opinion stuff. Who cares about my opinion? Probably not you. Certainly not my dog. I don’t often blog my opinion and it’s very rare that it makes it onto NotesIn9. It’s one of my rules actually.

NotesIn9 is “Hiring”.
By David Leedy | 8/22/16 9:19 AM | - | Added by Oliver Busse
I’m looking to find someone to act as an “XPages Producer” for NotesIn9. This is a volunteer position. This person would actively recruit and work with contributors of XPages related content. This person does not have to produce their own demos but of course that interest and ability would be encouraged.

By David Leedy | 8/12/16 11:47 AM | - | Added by John Oldenburger

In this show I demonstrate how I recently improved web pages that let a user scan barcodes with a blue tooth barcode scanner. Big thanks to Declan Lynch for the help on the Client Side JavaScript solution. This also takes advantage of the undocumented XSP.fireEvent() method.

By David Leedy | 3/30/16 1:03 AM | - | Added by John Oldenburger
Ok let’s get this out of the way. I’m going to talk about Client Side JavaScript and that’s WAY out of my comfort zone on a good day. But I had a need to work with it and the amazing Declan Lynch came to the rescue.
