from Notes 8.5.1 Helps Break Box Office Record:This weekend Summit Entertainment's “The Twilight Saga: New Moon” broke the all-time box-office record for an opening d ay in the US and also many countries around the world. In the entertainment industry communication and contacts are key. And while many of the larger studios try to rely on Microsoft Exchange, Summit Entertainment stands out as one of the few entertainment companies that have placed its trust in Lotus Notes. And with good reason too. While only a small company with less than 200 employees, it has to find a way to manage 10 million e-mail messages. That's an average of 50,000 messages per person that grows at an average rate of 2.25GB per day. In the marketing department multimedia content has seen some individual mail files grow to 72 GB. Busy executives rarely find time to file their mail so in-boxes can contain as many as 75,000 messages. Summit's Directory system is upside down to most companies. They have a small internal directory with around 200 entries linked to a separate Notes application (the Summit Rolodex) with around 17,000 external contacts.

All the above is handled using a single (Linux) mail server running Domino 8.5.1. What a wonderful testament to the power of Domino. Absolutely brilliant! This is why I am so passionate about Domino.

a couple of remarks: - It works for other RCP apps like the Sametime client too.
- You should not allocate too much memory to the JVM. More than 1700 and things get flaky. I stick to 1024. Other people have warned that this must not exceed physical RAM. And you need to have ample RAM. The odd thing is Notes will crash if you set the heap too high, but if you do have ample RAM the heap is mostly in VM, not in real memory...

Here's how to tune your Eclipse based 8.x.x client, also known as the standard client.
As of October 12th, 2009, you want to use version 8.5.1 as it contains a lot of optimizations. And the Domino Designer upgrades to Java and LotusScript editing are really, really, really nice.
For a great speed boost starting up the client and running Designer, use a trick Andrew Pollack described, and Jerome Carter substantiated. You should edit the jvm.properties file, just search the notes directory for it, as it's location varies across versions. There are two properties to set/change:
vmarg.Xms=-Xms1024m vmarg.Xmx=-Xmx1024m
Xms sets the minimum heap (8.5.1 default is 48 MB), Xmx the maximum heap (8.5.1 default is 256 MB). My hypothesis why this works: First, since the heap starts off at maximum size, it never needs to grow. Also, garbage collection does not need to run as often, which is huge plus in Java, which Eclipse is written in.
The second tip is for Domino Designer: Use working sets. They keep the list of databases applications small and handy, so you spend less time searching. Do not Remove... items form the Designer Navigator unless you need to. If you need to access that application again, Domino Designer has to re-process the design instead of checking whether what it already has is still correct. Which takes time.
If you have other performance tips, please let me know!
Cheers!

Woot! Now comes the hard part, deciding on which sessions to attend, since I love all parts of Domino, both Developer and Admin...
To all the other attendees: See you there!

Cleaning out out the attic, turning up gems like - rs-232 breakout box
- ViaVoice headset & software for the mac
- piston from my old Honda SS-50
Anyway, most of it is going to the recycling center! |

According to René in answer to http://jwylie.blogspot.com/2009/03/notes-851-on-ubuntu-composite.html, Domino Designer 8.5.1 will be joy to use. I cannot wait! Althought 8.5 is a lot of fun to explore, it feels like masochism. Also, it eats my current screen real estate for breakfast. I need 24" soon! 1280x1024 feels very, very cramped.

My mood is uglyA miscreant calling himself "Ian Bradbury" (I cannot verify his or her identity) has defiled blueskills.net. I hope Paul wil not be disheartened by the action and keep up his good work.

Get ready to virtualize your receipt shoeboxes
I just stumbled across a great tool for the organizational challenged and chaos enabled (i.e. a large part of geekdom): http://www.shoeboxed.com/They process receipts (images for free, paper ones for a fee) and return the results. I just know I am going to love this!

Finally started a blog, after many years of lurking.
What got me started is finishing a Domino on Linux implementation, and the sorry state of resources. I aim to collect and publish resources to better enable the running of Domino on Linux.
Edit, months later: that didn't really pan out, pushed for time!
