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.

Currently, in order to enable LZ1 compression on a database, you need to do it manually. With the Notes.ini variable found in technote 1452490, you can have it do this by default.

I found this in a log file today while looking for something else: 01/20/2011 09:35:27 AM  Database collection open error: e:LotusDominoDatanames.nsf: View is damaged.  Please rebuild it (by pressing shift-F9 or running UPDALL -r). 01/20/2011 09:35:27 AM  Error updating view '#445806' in names.nsf: View is damaged.  Please rebuild it (by pressing shift-F9 or running UPDALL -r). #1.  I love that they told me how to fix it. #2.  I wish I knew which view that actually is.  I don't have an numbered views in my address book. Once I find out how to translate the view number to a view name, I'll let you know here.

Up for our first port destination: Nassau in the Bahamas. We actually bought a shore excursion for Nassau.  A glass bottom boat tour.  If I had to pick a word to describe it, it would be "meh".  It was a 90 minute tour that consisted of a slow drive through the harbour where the "narrator" talked to us about who used to live in which house along the shore.  Really, I'm here for the glass bottom part, not for who used to live where.  The glass bottom part was okay, but consisted of us standing around 2 viewing "boxes" with 4 windows at the bottom of each.  What we didn't realize is that they were throwing bread overboard upstairs while we were downstairs to bring the fish in.  So, we weren't really seeing it "au natural".  And due to over crowding of the tour, we ended up sitting and waiting while the other half of the passengers got their chance to see.  We then took a return trip through the harbor. The Toad enjoyed the looking at th...
