great timing

So you are working along....have a couple tabs open....composing emails here and there.....gathering data...using all the "robustness" that is Lotus Notes....and you get the error above.

God forbid you have more then one or two tabs open without Lotus Notes having to shit all over itself. So the end user ends up losing HOURS worth of work only to recompile all of his emails again.

I told him not to tax the system by having more then one or two tabs open and to fire off his emails as soon as has them compiled.

Needless to say he had a couple choice words for Lotus Notes - all of which I have heard multiple times over.

DO NOT TRY AND MULTI-TASK WITHIN LOTUS NOTES. You will only end up causing yourself more work in the long run.

3,000 pissed off employees every day have to use Lotus Notes here at work......what did we do to deserve this punishment?

If You Hate Lotus Notes.....

then this is the place to let it be known. I've had to support this pile of shit known as Lotus Notes for the past 6 years for a bank out in New York.

End users are pissed.....tech support is pissed.....the only people who seem to love Notes are the weirdo's who have to code this crap and the people that work for IBM.

Anytime you bring up the competition, Microsoft, the Lotus Notes kool-aid developers at work like to talk about "microsoft has viruses...blah blah blah".

I always ask if they realize that it is 2007 and it would be nice if my out of office agent would turn on everytime (half the time it gets stuck or doesn't turn on at all), if NTASKLDR would refrain from using up 99% of my CPU, and if someone other then Ray Charles can improve the GUI.

The talk about Lotus Hannover and all the great things it is going to bring......we are apparently on the "beta" program and I installed Notes 8 and the only thing that changed were the icons on the left hand shortcut bar......why didn't the actual GUI change?

because my mail file template, person document, blah blah blah hadn't been updated on the server. You literally have to update all this shit on the backside to get it to work. What ever happened to installing a new version of software and the changes happen automatically and not having to contact your damn domino admin (who is clueless as it is) to update your docs on the server.

Stay tuned.....i'll be providing comical error screenshots (for those familiar with "object variable not set") and posting my dealings with end-users......this should be interesting.
