My Blackberry Playbook Sneak Peek

I had the opportunity Saturday night to play with the new RIM Blackberry Playbook.  Never thought I partied with the 'right' crowd, but it looks like I do.

It's pretty impressive.   The OS on the version I saw was still in alpha, but the function and feel of it were very nice.   I've played with the iPad, and between the two, I think I would probably go with the Playbook as my own tablet.   I find it fit better in one hand than the iPad, which for me is more favorable to reading or the like.

Anyway, you're probably looking for some pics, so I won't disappoint.


The backlighting was great.

Fingerprints of love.  They only show up with the flash, not otherwise visible.


Great size to hold in one hand.  Not heavy at all.

    Awesome. Don't forget they were kind enough to have them at Lotusphere and we got away with 10 minutes of video demo

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.

Lotus Trading Cards

I was painting the house last night, and my mind got to wandering... Bruce Elgort mentioned on Twitter last night that he was thinking of a VC fund for Lotus projects. 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.
