TwitNotes - 1.0.5 is coming and has search.twitter.com capability
In whatever spare time I have I'm working on finishing TwitNotes v. 1.0.5 so it's ready for Notes 8.5 and Notes 8.0.2. Among other things TwitNotes now supports proxies by using the HTTP libraries built into Notes. It has been somewhat of a challenge but I'm getting there. Last night I thought I was done but no...
After hearing about the Twitter acquisition of Summize and trying it out I had to add this capability to TwitNotes. First I extended the Twitter Java API I'm using to support the JSON API for search.twitter.com, then I extended the TwitNotes plug-in using the extension points already in place (to add a second tab) and voila! Searching in TwitNotes as you can see below.
I hope to get TwitNotes 1.0.5 out this week.
P.S.: If you're running Notes 8.5 or Notes 8.0.2 and wanna beta test 1.0.5 drop me an e-mail...
My steps for installing Lotus Connections 2.0 FP1
I installed Lotus Connections 2.0 fixpack 1 at a customer site today. It wasn't as easy as expected and I had to restart the installation program 3 times but eventually I got through. Here are the steps I went through:
- Stop all Lotus Connection features
- Download fixpack and the update installer
- Unzip the installer to a directory called "update" under your Lotus Connections installation directory
- Create a directory called fixes in the "update" directory you just created and copy the fixpack to this directory
- Rename the 2.0.0.0-LC-Multi-FP000001.jar to LC2001_Fixpack.jar
- Open DOS prompt on Lotus Connections server
- Run command: SET WAS_HOME=<path to WAS e.g. c:\ibm\websphere\appserver>
- Initialize the command prompt by running <path to WAS>\bin\setupCmdLine.bat e.g. c:\ibm\websphere\appserver\bin\setupCmdLine.bat
- Navigate to the "update"-directory and execute this command: updateLC.bat -fixpack -install -installDir <path> -fixpackDir <path> -fixpackID LC2001_Fixpack -wasUserId <WAS user> -wasPassword <WAS admin password>
