From a million miles
Going to start with another PHP update: I've added a calendar feature to the blog pages that have links to all days within a particular month where I posted something. Having seen them on other blogs I've always wanted one and now I have. Thanks, that is, to the site that I borrowed it from. Where would we all be without sites like this?
Some news from the field: Our man Raaf at the View conference in Amsterdam reports that the @Function Debugger will not now appear until R7. Daniel Silva reports that IBM DeveloperWorks are moving their forums from being Domino based to being JSP based. As he says, "Kinda sad, eh ;-(". Note: I know not how much truth is in either of the above statements. I just pass on the news...
Redranding. What's that all about?!
Something Topstyle is pretty good at is condensing your CSS. For the theory behind it this is worth a read (via Simon Willison via webgraphics via Glish).
And finally, some "fun" - take a journey from 10 million lights year away right down to the... well, I leave you to find that out.

As far as i know there is an @Function Debugger, all you have to do is to hold down Shift and Ctrl while enabling the script debugger. And voila it now debugs your @Functions. Use the same method to disable the debugger.
Have fun

Indeed there is. However, this is "hidden" and undocumented. What I think Raaf has found out is that it will not be made visible until the next release...
Wow - great journey link. Makes all this seem some how . . . what's the word? Pointless ? Insignificant? I need a holiday!
"Makes all this seem some how . . . what's the word? Pointless ?"
There's an absolutely hilarious song sketch on one of the Monty Pyton films to the same effect.
Ray Ozzie has a similar calendar feature on his blog.
www.ozzie.net - it's a good read.
Domino/Jsp-based, this doesn't matter. How do you get those G#$!*@&#!%@N JSP's working from within a notesdatabse.
buy that way GREAT STUFF I like the new look.
The @formula debugger, which has been around since R5 in its undocumented state, won't be around until some unspecified future_ release of Notes... whether that's R7 or R6.x no-one yet knows.
And in any case, bigger and better things came out of the conference than that piece of old news!
Maybe I was slow here, but enabling the hidden @formula debugger just causes notes to crash on my machine :(
Well, I would venture to suggest that its inherent instability is why it's unsupported / undocumented!
I went to the same session as Raaf in Amsterdam, and Gary Devendorf mentioned explicitly that the @Formula debugger will be appearing as a supported feature in R7. They took it out of the R6 client, as it was generating too many support calls, even being unsupported...
Thx Erwin,
"And in any case, bigger and better things came out of the conference than that piece of old news!"
Yes there was a great deal of big new things, but "the piece of old news" was news to me and somehow this on sticked ;-)
Ow and for those who were in the session with me, what I was trying to ask with the curly braces.
{<LINK rel='stylesheet' href='/ipcm/msd.nsf/mainStyle.css'>}
type that in your HTML HEAD content. When you save the document it wil make it
"<LINK rel=\"stylesheet\" href=\"/ipcm/msd.nsf/mainStyle.css\">"
My question should have been, why bother with the curly braces?
Hans A.K.A Raaf
Er. Because it's easier for the developer than using all the escapes? That particular example is fairly simple, but if you're coding something that eventually evaluates / renders to a load of html / urls, then you could see where that would be useful. But the advantage of curly braces in formula extends beyond web coding.
Perhaps you might want to comment out a load of formula quickly and easily?
Sorry if I've missed what you're getting at, but it strikes me that this is a useful feature in formula... OK, so Notes may eventually simplify / revert it for its own use, as you highlight in your example, but the reasoning behind having it is still sound.
Ok, was being a little sarcastic at the end. Granted it is very handy, but when it reverts it to an escaped string it becomes unreadable again as it was in all the previous releases.
This was a very simple example but you can make a string as complicated as you like. But if I have to edit the string again? two months later? I've alwayd found escaping is somewhat like regular expressions really unreadable
