    39... and I lost about 30 seconds to an incoming phone call ;-) Still, by the end, I was pretty much stumped and I spent the last 15 seconds staring at the screen. Amazing how you can draw a blank on so many obvious simple words.

    46. It's interesting to just look all over the screen for common terms while you're filling it out.

    It's also wild that "no" is in the list but "yes" is not. :-)

Fun Little Earthquake

It's 1:45pm EST in Ottawa, Ontario, Canada. We just had an earthquake.  Not strong enough to damage anything, but enough that I watched people run out of buildings. What a fun Wednesday.

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.
