Lastest in the service line is Google's Search History. You would require a Google Account i.e. GMail to use this service (if you need invites, let me know ... i have got lots). Once you log in, all the searches are tracked. It comes very handy when you cannot recollect the search keywords and it also tracks the links you clicked from the search result.

Chuck Connell has started a website where one could put up stories/experiences/personal views about your boss.

Go ahead and say that My Boss is Worse Than Yours.

The best part is that you don't need to leave your credentials, the site has taken care of generating random names, so go ahead and express your self to the fullest !!

Bob Obringer has done some amazing work on Web View Navigtion. Check out the Ultimate View Navigator !

Greasemonkey seems to be the latest attraction for many of the Lotus Gurus!!

Julian created a really cool interface which helps alot if you are browing on the LDD forums. You don't need to open each document in a thread .. everthing is inline now and its called LDDMonkey.

Rob came up with a similar script which displays comments on Julian website inline. So no need to open the comments in the pop-up. Use AssMonkey !! lol ....

Jake has also contributed to the LDD by retaining the search keyword value and adding links to open search results in a new window. Check out LDD Super Search.

I have installed all the 3 scripts and they work just great.
Great Stuff, Keep it up guys !!

Try and see how far you can keep the drunk man up.
You just move your mouse left to right (no clicking) to keep him walking in a straight line.
The objective of the game is to keep him walking, without falling over, by using your mouse from left to right or right to left - you can't see your mouse which makes it more difficult. Apparently the record is 82 meters!

Do post your results :)

Scores :
My best run was 33 ... still trying
Hey, i am getting better !! its 54 now

Update : my personal best is 78 now !!

Ever came across this situation ?
Try the following code and see the results ( prepare to be shocked )

Lotus Script:
Dim x as Double
x = 4.08 + 18.84 + 18.84 + 18.84 + 18.84 + 20.56
If x = 100 Then
Msgbox "X is 100"
Else
Msgbox "X is something else !!"
End if

Formula:
x:=@Sum(4.08:18.84:18.84:18.84:18.84:20.56);
@If (x = 100;
@Prompt([OK];"";"X is 100");
@Prompt([OK]);"";"X is something else !!"))
 
The Debugger & the Calculator shows that the total is 100, however the logic fails.
This can be addressed as a Floating-Point Calculation issue and its NOT a software bug ( since it has been seen in C/C++ and Excel as well ).

Some explanations from Experts in Notes Community :
 
Bruce Stapley

Only numbers with fractional components that are an exact power of 2 can be exactly represented in a binary coding system -- which is what computers use. This means very small deviations/errors occur in essentially every floating point variable in every programming language on every computer everywhere. Since Notes only stores floating point numbers, essentially every calculation you do on number fields suffers from this effect. However, the difference will assuredly be insignificant and unnoticed unless you're doing an equivalence comparison. The solution, put simply, is to round to a sufficient level of precision before comparing two floating point numbers for equivalence.

 
Stan Rogers

In LotusScript, there are precisely two levels of floating-point precision: Single and Double. Equality testing checks all bits -- any difference at any bit level is an inequality. This is true across all general-purpose computing languages, although the number of bits available to each variable type and the number of different types may vary from language to language. If you need to compare within a confidence margin, you need to round your values at your arbitrary precision depth. Some specialised languages on some platforms have similar facilities built in, but you can and should consider them oddities.
Calculators designed exclusively for decimal use often get around the problem by using binary-coded-decimal values internally, where each four-bit group represents a single decimal digit (0000 to 1001), but that is wasteful of resources and does not allow the same registers to be used for general-purpose (non-decimal) data.

 
Solution

For R5 - Round the Number to a sufficient level of precision before comparing for equivalence
For R6 - Use @FloatEq which is helpful in dealing with inexactness of floating point operations

GMail turns a year old .. and it has amazing things to offer.

Just launched in GMail :

G is for growth
Storage is an important part of email, but that doesn't mean you should have to worry about it. To celebrate our one-year birthday, we're giving everyone one more gigabyte. But why stop the party there? Our plan is to continue growing your storage beyond 2GBs by giving you more space as we are able. We know that email will only become more important in people's lives, and we want Gmail to keep up with our users and their needs. From Gmail, you can expect more.

We're not in the plains anymore
Fonts, bullets and highlighting, oh my! Gmail now offers rich text formatting. And over 60 colors of the rainbow. Discover a land of more than just black and white. Learn more
