My name is Nigel Roulston and I'm a Lotus Notes and Domino guy. There you go, I said it, loud and proud!
I've been an avid reader of and occassional commenter on the Lotus Blogosphere for a long time and I thought it was probably about time to put in my own $0.02.
I started working with Notes a long time ago - far longer than I really care to admit - way back when there were paintings on the cave walls and the web wasn't even a glimmer in Tim Berners-Lee's eye. The Notes version was 2 and I'd never seen anything like it. Lotus, yes actually Lotus, not IBM, was owned and run by Mitch Kapor, 1-2-3 was the flagship and Microsoft had just released Windows 3.0 or 3.1 or something. At that time I was working with the Australian Bureau of Statistics as a grunt level programmer hacking C code and PL/I. We very quickly moved from 2 onto Notes 3 (2 was never rolled out in the organisation), and we were at the time the largest installation of Notes in the world. Boy are things different now!
Since then, I've worked in private and government organisations as an in-house programmer, a programmer for hire, a consultant, and in management, so I've seen the good and the bad of most things Notes.
So, what's this blog going to be about? I'm not really sure at the moment. I think it'll be a mix of some Notes/Domino techy stuff along with a bit of general discussion. I'll try to keep the personal stuff out of it, but I'm sure some will creep in somewhere along the way. I might even use it as a forum to link to some of my other interests like photography, but on the whole, I'll try and make it pretty notes and domino centric.
Well, I think that's enough for a first post. Now I'm off to ponder what I'll do for the next one.
