Ode to Planet Lotus

Ode to Planet Lotus

Oh ye gatherer of geek thoughts,
Ye olde summarizer of ethereal ebb and flow
About Notes, about hopes, about dreams.

We missed the comforting warmth of your blue
And the starkness of your white against
Feeds most magnificent, marked with points of lapis lazuli,
Half crescents of creamy white, teasing of topics
That may be important and then again not.
And pleasing empty cerulean circumferences
For topics dubious or ambiguous.

Oh ye collector of our collective minds,
It took your near death to make us aware
Of how frequently we are pilgrims to your cache,
Visitors to your stream of cerebral cortex
Emanating from the yellow bubble.

Oh ye virtual planet,
sprung from Yancy's loins,
Exercise, eat well, Cut back on fried foods.

Be our shimmering bacon.
(Make that beacon. Actually bacon is good too.)
As we move our weary old fingers, cautiously blogging,
Checking back every so often with you,
To be sure we've all survived
Our time On this rock,
This third stone from the sun.
Our perch, our gable, our yellow universe.

Fixpacks galore!

This is a broadcast to all admins we can conjure up.  There has been a FP1 released by IBM/Lotus.  

Please don't skip Fix Packs just because you don't see something that applies to you.  IBM sometimes slips in stability fixes and new feature enhancements.

Information about what is fixed:

There is also a FP for the Notes client in fix central.  The fix pack for Domino 8.5.1 wasn't in fix central when I last checked but the other link will get you there.

Please do some searching here, as there are also fixpacks for Lotus Traveler that are needed if you want to use the Lotus Traveler Companion iPhone application.  This was released on January 19th.  And if you haven't picked up on the iNotes fixpacks from last year, it's a good idea to check them out as well and put them into your servers.

In case you're a newcomer, a lot of Lotus oriented blogs can be found on http://planetlotus.org/.  Other bloggers are posting about the fixpacks and their blogs are listed on Planet Lotus.  Check it out daily for useful information, and also for just seeing what people have to say about life in general.

Wasn't Fixpacks Galore a character in James Bond's Goldfinger?
