Yep. Its out there. This release features (among other things) features updates to Traveler which provide support for the iPhone. According to Sr. Ed, the beta has been distributed to a select group while a “managed” beta will be available… eh, later. However, you can test drive it on Greenhouse later this week.

Two important notes:

  1. If you see emails coming from me using the greenhouse domain, now you know why.  ;-)
  2. If anyone has a copy they want to share … er… NOT share (wink wink)…

OpenNTF.org Sample PageMeanwhile, OpenNTF.org got quite the upgrade when I wasn’t looking. I’ve always been a fan of this site. Even if they don’t have a perfectly matching application for what you need – its a great place to get some free head-starts. Lately, I’ve been playing around A LOT with the Xpages Wiki application which is fantastic. I could use some small improvements and this would be a powerful app for our organization.

Wow… busy week in the world of Lotus!

If I were in charge of Ford, I think I’d be a bit mad. The company is doing fairly well (all things considered) and yet the government is actively bailing out GM and Chrysler in various ways. I think I’d be all “umm… would you guys mind NOT helping out my competition?!”

It was that thought (and the fact that its car shopping season for me again) that led me to the Ford website. Not because I’m really interested in anything in their line, just because I hadn’t taken a moment to notice what has changed in various vehicles (and American Idol was on in the background – and at this point, I’m thinking that maybe the Ford Focus is trying to be one of the final contestants based on how much that thing is shown throughout each episode). It was at that time that I noticed an interesting header on their web page:
