Lotes    [ Rants ]

I've been working from home today, thanks to a rather unpleasant stomach virus.   But thanks to the Linksys WAP11 in the basement + a WPC11 adapter, I can sit in bed and check my email, edit documents and send 'em back and forth to work.

So now that I'm spending some amount of time using Lotus Notes, I'm getting familiar with its ups and downs.   It's far better than MS Outlook + Exchange for doing forms, databases and implementing business processes, but the email bits almost seem like an afterthought. It's like AIX : imagine that IBM had written a great workflow product, and then decided to add mail functionality to it around version 3, but had gotten the requirements translated from Hungarian to Mandarin to English.
