• Lotus Notes: More Examples of Poor Design

  by David Leibowitz | December 28, 2007 | Comments: 4

  Lotus Notes gives me great opportunity to visualize many of the methods that should not be employed in application design. Today's snack is the storage of user preferences when using a web application. In the Lotus Domino Web Access client from IBM, I prefer to view my Calendar as a month-at-a-glance. By default, the calendar displays as a single... Read More... : Lotus Notes

• Going Crazy With Lotus Notes Web Access

  by David Leibowitz | December 24, 2007 | Comments: 4

  A few annoyances with the Lotus Domino Web Access console, a web client they offer..I am using it for the advanced real estate (smaller fonts mean I can display more inbox mail) and because it is slightly better than their thick client.

• You've Got Mail! Well, You HAD Mail...but you already knew that didn't you?

  This is my continuing rant on Lotus Notes & Domino. This application has to be the single most difficult email reader I have ever seen. Since I have to use it for work, all I can do is rant and continue my long list of what not to do when designing applications. It's a pretty healthy list and is great to fall back on when I want to be reminded... Read More... : Lotus Notes
