Frustrations of Tech Support

In talking with a vendor today, and trying to get their web software setup (it runs on Tomcat) I was informed that they aren't sure why it isn't working with SSL. SSL has always been already setup in the past.

Strange, my SSL is setup. And working fine, your software isn't... The first time I called them I was told that I was using the wrong JDK. I couldn't use 1.5, I had to use 1.4. Even though their own documentation said that JDK 1.5 is supported. As it turns out, it's supported, but it's not certified, so it may not work....

Grrr...

Error 217 - Error creating product object on Domino 64 bit

I'd like to share something with you. An error that you'll get if you are trying to use ODBC with Domino 8.5.1 64bit. It starts out with an agent error of Error 217. The text of the error is "Error creating product object" You can read about it here on the Notes/Domino forum . You can find the solution here as well . I guess I'm now waiting for Domino 8.5.2 for a solution for this. It would have been nice to have had this in the release notes. It would have help me greatly.

So my mind wandered about that, and turned to how we present ourselves. I got to thinking that business cards are so ... old school. I think we need Trading Cards. So, here are the first few I've come up with.
