plug-in for Lotus Notes's mail template

I finished second project which I received on guru.com. It was not easy but I want to admit it was really interesting, I made something like plug-in for Lotus Notes’ mail template. I used NotesNoteCollection class and DXL for solving task.

sync Domino and Exchange

I have gotten opportunity to work in team that develop "Exchange 12". The PM of this team proposed me to explore possibility sync. Domino with Exchange via Notes API, and if it would possible make a prototype. This really interesting area, I think about this before... I read many forums and articles in this area, and to tell the true I did not find right way. By the way I find only one good "article" on IBM's forum

Lotus Notes/domino R8

I downloaded Lotus Notes/Domino R8 today and to tell the true it didn't justify my hopes. I thought that IBM made Lotus Notes R8 like Eclipse, but... There are only some new features that I see. So Lotus Notes still Lotus Notes :).

second project on guru.com

One week ago I won another project on guru.com

Firstly, I fixed some bugs in modified mail6.ntf. The main problem in this task was difference between mail6.ntf in version R6.5.1 and R6.5.5.

Then I must developed something like as plug-in for Lotus Notes. The main goal of this plug-in is to be universal for both Lotus Notes R6.x and Lotus Notes R7.x. Earlier my customer had many problems with different mail6.ntf. He told me to do a subform in Lotus Notes Domino, that would be embedded in any forms in mail6.ntf.

I did it yesterday and send it to him. Now I will wait for answer from him.

My first project on guru

Some month ago I won a simple and interesting project, on guru.com.
I must took data from http://waterdata.usgs.gov/mn/nwis/current/?type=flow and put them to Lotus Notes Database. The main problem of this task is that I had no any connection like as ODBC or other to database where data store. I didn’t know real good solution for this task.
So, for receiving data I used next script:

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Dim request As Variant
Dim content As String

Const URL = "http://waterdata.usgs.gov/mn/nwis/current/?type=flow"

Set request = CreateObject("Microsoft.XMLHTTP")
Call request.open("GET", URL, False)
Call request.send()
Let content = request.responseText
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Then I processed content of page, got data and put them to Lotus Notes Database.
Maybe it’s not best solution but on that moment I had no better ideas.

My customer was very happy, paid me 50$ and gave me good reference.
