I'm off and running

At the encouragement of many, I’ve started a clinic at the Running Room to learn how to run. I mean, the basics of it I’ve know since I was young, but as I’ve grown older, the exercise that I’ve been getting has slowly diminished. I still get out in my canoe once in a while, but that’s not really great exercise unless you do it for many hours, something my current job doesn’t allow. So, I joined a Learn to Run clinic at my local Running Room store. Last night was the first night, and I ran 7 sets of 1 minute of running followed by 2 minutes of walking. To my surprise, I handled it quite well. No collapsing or heavy breathing. So, now I’ll do the same reps on Wednesday and Sunday, and then ramp it up next week to 1 minute run, 1 minute walk. Tonight is my night off. I’m laying 150 square feet of engineered hardwood in the basement. It’ll probably be harder work.

I have a Mac, for a little while

So, my sister's hard drive died on her MacBook in the middle of an upgrade to Mac OS 10.   So, I have her Mac while we try and recover the hard drive data, and she has my Toshiba Windows XP system. We'll see how I like this 'it just works' thing and let everyone know.   Who knows, I may end up with one.   My wife just looked at it and said, 'I like the screen'.   I don't recall her saying that about the Toshiba.

Reserved Words in Domino Web Applications

Much frustration by one of our Domino developers this morning lead us to discover that having a DOM element named “action” on a web form causes all sorts of problems.  Like not being able to refresh or submit a form.   Makes me wonder if there are others…   I couldn’t find any in the Designer Help.   Anyone know of others?
