Running Notes :: It's Official! I'm Published!

About Me...

I'm Kathy Brown and I've been an application developer in Lotus Notes/Domino since 2005.

Prior to working in IT, I've had numerous careers including an Investment Analyst and even an Actress (long ago and far away).

And I (try to) love running!

It's Official! I'm Published!

Category Lotus Notes The View
It is officially official. My article has been published on The View's website. Yes, I am a dork and I am very excited about my very first article getting published. The site does require a subscription, so if you don't have one, go get one! My article is totally worth it!

It is titled "Input Validation and Translation Formulas - The Paring Knives of Lotus Notes Application Development". (Running readers, I know you are SO disappointed you don't have a subscription!)

Anyway, check it out! Hopefully more to come in the future! Feel free to drop me a line if you read it!

4 - So why are you a dork?

If I may be the first to welcome you to the club AND to correct you ... you are NOW actually a "freelance technology journalist and blogger" ... instead of "just a dorky blogger!"

Congratulations!

6 - Major congrats, Kathy!! Seeing your name published for the first time is such a huge moment. Print the first page and frame it in your office!

7 - I'm looking forward to the metaphors in future articles. The meat tenderizer of Notes UI design? The soup ladle of Notes import/export? The vacuseal of Notes archiving? Please leave "the potato ricer of Domino administration" for my own literary efforts.

Congrats.

9 - Congratulations on your first of, what we hope are, many more articles. It is fun to be able to go back and point to something you wrote to feel that all your hard work has paid off.

Getting an article in the View is a huge accomplishment and you should feel very proud of yourself.

Now go out and run 15 miles and get rid of the good feelings before they go to your head.

15 - Congratulations, Kathy! It is great to have you join the writing community as well! You know you are successful when your feet do your running and your sentences do not run on. (Sorry, I couldn't resist getting the "dorky" pun in there.) Emoticon
