Those of you who are mainframe IT workers may be aware that Lotus Notes client can suddenly start misbehaving when certain cache files get corrupted. Here's a fix that often works:

Log out of Lotus.

Look for the Lotus Notes local database directory:
- Select the File menu.
- Select Preferences.
- The dialog box should show the local database directory path. Typically, if your your local work files are on the C: drive, expect to find C:\Lotus\Notes\Data.

Look for these two files:
- Cache.NDK
- bookmark.nsf

Rename those two files to something else.

DO NOT TOUCH any files with any other filename/extension!

Restart Lotus. Be patient; the first time you restart, it'll take some extra time to rebuild those files.

Is there no upward mobility in the blogosphere?

http://www.roughtype.com/archives/2006/08/the_great_unrea.php

From personal experience, it is possible to start with nothing and build a blog (or even several blogs) that will be read by a steadily growing audience as time goes on. But it requires a long, hard effort, grim determination, and a very tough hide.

Servers down AGAIN for rescheduled Foehammer webcast interview?

I was suspicious enough when I found out that Foehammer's interview had been cancelled because the servers had shut down just as he went on the air.

I'll let Foehammer explain what happened next: Try, try again: Foehammer interview today at 7 pm EST.

Is the mainstream media competing with Daily Kos as a haven for haters?

The CBS website is harboring foul, demented hate comments.

Tolerating such over-the-top bigotry against Southerners is but one example of the media mindset that has been eroding network viewership in "flyover country."
