Why is my Lotus Notes so slow? (how to improve your personal productivity by sharpening the saw)
27 Jan 2010 | 2:39 pmIt's often been my experience that when users complain about Lotus Notes, they are unaware that there are simple things that can be done to achieve a big boost in productivity. For example, I sometimes find that users do not have Lotus Notes set up to take advantage of Lotus Note's ability to keep a local replica - something that can lead to a dramatic performance improvement, especially when then the objective is to make the tool as productive as possible. For the past 17 years, I've been serving organizations and individuals that use Lotus Notes to get things done. My focus is on high… -
Lotusphere - transforming the way we do business

Why Use Cold Water When Brewing Coffee?
18 Jan 2010 | 1:44 pmI’m sure you’ve seen it, at the bottom of some packages of coffee or on directions of coffee makers… “Use cold water when brewing your coffee”. But, why would it matter if you use warm or cold water when brewing, if the water will get hot anyway? When you see the disclaimer advising you to use cold water, it’s under the assumption that you are using tap water, from the sink – and if you use tap water, then you should use the cold water side of the tap. The reason is, cold water from the tap is fresh. Water from the hot side of the tap has likely been… -

French Press + Fresh Beans = Bigger Crust, More Oil Transport, Tastier Coffee
21 Nov 2009 | 9:29 amThis morning, as I made myself a french press of Guatemala Antigua coffee, roasted 3 days ago, I thought I would take a picture of the french press as it brewed. This picture is taken about 30 seconds after pouring near-boiling water on top of coffee, ground just seconds before. From the picture, you can see that this mini, 3-cup french press has a very tall crust! You can see 3 layers here, a bottom layer of mostly liquid, a middle layer of water steeping with coffee grounds and a top layer of foam, bubbling as carbon dioxide is released from mixing with hot water. If you use stale coffee…

PwnageTool 3.1.5 Jailbreaks iPhone 3.1.3
8 Feb 2010 | 11:30 amMac OS X: Last week Apple pushed out a minor update to the iPhone OS, and, naturally, the update re-jailed any jailbroken devices. Yet again, the iPhone dev-team is back with a new version of PwnageTool that's compatible with the latest update.Take note that the dev-team's official stance on the iPhone 3.1.3 OS update is "skip it" unless you've had battery problems (the update offers little more). If you wanted to go ahead with the update anyway, this new version of the PwnageTool (3.1.5) will help you safely upgrade your jailbroken device. Be sure to read the full dev-team post for details… -

Siri Is a Personal Assistant that Fits in Your Pocket
5 Feb 2010 | 8:30 amiPhone: We can't think of a person who couldn't use a little help with everyday planning, research, and chores, but unfortunately we can't all afford a personal assistant. Siri is a smart voice-recognition virtual assistant for your iPhone. Give the video above a look for an idea of how Siri works. Essentially, you speak your bidding, it interprets what you say, and it goes hunting for what it is that you want. Ask it to look up movie showtimes, make reservations, get a taxi, fetch flight info, set up reminders, or just get the weather forecast. Granted, you can find plenty of tools to do… -
SlingPlayer iPhone App Gets Go-Ahead to Stream Over 3G
4 Feb 2010 | 7:30 amIf you've got a SlingBox and an iPhone, you could previously fork over another $30 to get the SlingPlayer app and watch your home TV and recordings ... over Wi-Fi, which kind of defeated the whole purpose of mobile watching (aren't you usually home already when you're on Wi-Fi?). But Sling and AT&T have reached an agreement on 3G streaming, so the SlingPlayer will get an upgrade to truly mobile TV streaming as soon as Apple approves the upgrade. Existing SlingPlayer owners will get the upgraded version free. Would watching your Sling content over 3G make sense for you, or is this a whole lot… -

6 Feb 2010 | 2:22 pmHello This is going to be a quick tip for any users who regularly use iCal. When you create a new event, either in the day, week or month viewer you will realise that the length of the event is one hour long, for most people this is fine. However if you regularly have meetings which are half an hour long, or book rooms for two ours at a time, it may be beneficial and more efficient to adjust the default meeting time. This means you don’t have to fiddle around with the length slot if you regularly use the same event length. This trick, as many tricks on this site do, uses Terminal. -

Bringing Hope to Haiti
25 Jan 2010 | 1:55 pmHaiti is among the poorest nations in the world and the poorest nation in the western hemisphere. Before the earthquake the average Haitian would live on less than 2-3 dollars per day. One missionary recently said this on twitter, “The worst effects are emotional… no smiles on the street and a sense of despair.” Haiti needs hope. Yes, as Christians we need to help with disaster relief, we need to lead our nation and the world in providing water, food, and medical care but we also need to share Jesus. Haiti needs hope and that is where organizations like Faith Comes… -
Help for Haiti
16 Jan 2010 | 8:39 pmHaiti is in the thoughts and prayers of many at this time. However for some like my friend Toussaint, it is heartbreak, worry, and intense feelings for his family, country and his people. He just recently received word that his grandmother is ok and you can view his story by clicking on the video link below: It was just a month ago when Toussaint and I sat down for coffee to discuss is passions for his homeland and how he could partner with CCV and our desires to do something for this nation in need. Now the need to aid Haiti is greater than ever. Fortunately we’ve connected with… -
Openness vs Intimacy in Small Groups
15 Jan 2010 | 1:30 pmIn every small group there should always be a tension felt on the topic of openness and intimacy. Openness would mean that the group is inviting others to be a part of it. Intimacy defined as deep, lasting relationships where spiritual transformation takes place. Bill Donahue in his book, Walking the Small Group Tightrope: Meeting the Challenges Every Group Faces, explains this tension well, “Suggesting open groups is where tension begins, because the need for openness assumes the existence of one end of the continuum – a willingness to welcome new members into the group. If groups… -

13 Jan 2010 | 5:29 pmIf you haven’t seen Pat Robertson’s comments you can view them in the video below.

Thank God for others like Donald Miller that put things in perspective. After stewing in frustration all afternoon I read his blog post (you can find the original here) and I’ve re-posted it here for your convenience. Back in the day, the comment Pat Robertsonmade today would have… -

She Left Me For an 80 Year Old Amish Man

It started so innocently… Then we bought a bench from him…in which he mailed us a handwritten letter when it was done. Then they became pen pals. Now…when most people go to the Amish community to drive by the houses and stare…they are likely to see my wife in the window sipping… -

But with the right moves, a temporary employee can make that job permanent. Jody Miller, chief executive of Business Talent Group, a Los Angeles interim-executive placement firm, says she saw a 50% increase in requests for temporary talent in 2009 over 2008, with a significant bump in the second half of 2009.

Globe and Mail: How to Prep Your Team for Risky Business
9 Feb 2010 | 9:11 amFebruary 9, 2010 – Globe and Mail – Toronto, Canada When New Orleans Saints coach Sean Payton rallied his team in the locker room during half-time at the Super Bowl, he presented them with a gutsy proposal: Open the second half of the game with an onside kick. The Saints were trailing the Indianapolis Colts by four points, and an onside kick had never been attempted before the fourth quarter in the history of the Super Bowl. As it turned out, the play was the beginning of a comeback that would win the team its first-ever championship. The way Mr. Payton prepared his players for… -
Books That Are Worth Reading
9 Feb 2010 | 8:00 amHere are a few books that I have in my library that I thought I’d share. I’ve made a few notes to give some insight into the value. You’ll find a longer list on my website.

I had not read the book yet but attended the talk with a friend who had. Ruiz was not your typical motivational speaker.

Harvery writes: "A former employee, Sean Payton, outlined what Jones once had in Dallas. And what he doesn't have now. During the 2003 draft, Payton did everything but demand the Cowboys take an unknown quarterback from Eastern Illinois named Tony Romo.

"The door isn't closed on the Cowboys of the 1970s but it's barely ajar. The committee seems to have drawn the line at nine Steelers from the 1970s. L.C.

9 Feb 2010 | 3:00 amCan you factor this? If you're like most people, you get a little queasy at the thought. And when you were in tenth grade, you surely wondered why they were bothering you.(the answer is (x-2) times (x-2), in case you were curious.)It turns out that the real reason you needed to do this work was to be able to play with numbers in your head. Abstract numerical thought is an important skill among educated people.Which brings us to TED, a conference held every year in Long Beach. It's going on right now.

Frightened, clueless or uninformed?
8 Feb 2010 | 2:57 amIn the face of significant change and opportunity, people are often one of the three. If you're going to be of assistance, it helps to know which one.Uninformed people need information and insight in order to figure out what to do next. They are approaching the problem with optimism and calm, but they need to be taught. Uninformed is not a pejorative term, it's a temporary state.Clueless people don't know what to do and they don't know that they don't know what to do. They don't know the right questions to ask. Giving them instructions is insufficient. First, they need to be sold on what the… -
The least I could do
7 Feb 2010 | 3:35 amOne way to think about running a successful business is to figure out what the least you can do is, and do that. That's actually what they spent most of my time at business school teaching me.No sense putting more on that pizza, sending more staff to that event, answering the phone in fewer rings... what's the point? No sense being kind, looking people in the eye, being open or welcoming or grateful. Doing the least acceptable amount is the way to maximize short term profit.Of course, there's a different strategy, a crazy alternative that seems to work: do the most you can do instead of the… -

Have a 37 Minute Coffee Break with Me [Audio Interview]
9 Feb 2010 | 5:43 amIf you have a spare 37 minutes today to grab a coffee with me (or at least are doing something that will allow you to listen to something for 37 minutes in the background) check out this interview I did with Robb Sutton late last week.

How I Got Some Paying Sponsors Without Really Meaning To
6 Feb 2010 | 6:21 amA guest post by Josh Hanagarne. World’s Strongest Librarian was about four months old when I got interested in sponsors. I’d read the articles about how to do it, and none of them sounded that plausible for me and my situation. For one, my traffic wasn’t impressive, certainly not to the point where sponsors were approaching me. And, while my blog has become slightly more focused in its first ten months, it wasn’t targeted at any group of readers in particular, so I wasn’t sure how confident niche advertisers would be. It’s a little more focused now, but I can’t really think of a…
