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!

Couldn't Preview in Web Browser

Category Lotus Notes Web Browser
This falls into the case of, I am blogging this in case I forget, but the other day I was playing with XPages and the "Preview in Web Browser" wasn't working. I didn't get an error of any kind, the page just loaded a blank page and said it was done. After way too much time spent trying to figure out WHY, it was discovered that on my Windows XP workstation, I could not have Skype open and still Preview in Web Browser. Blah blah, port 80, blah blah.

Wanna Run?

Category Running Lotusphere
Just noticed on the calendar that Lotusphere is a tiny bit under 9 weeks away. At IAMLUG, some of us ran together in the mornings. If you want to run at Lotusphere, you've still got time even if you don't run now!

I (and several others that I know) got started with the Couch to 5K program. The program as written takes 9 weeks to complete. Go for it and go for a run at Lotusphere!

Oops - An Update

Category Blog Personal
Oops. It occurred to me today that tomorrow will mark three weeks without a blog post. Hmm, where has the time gone? Will anyone notice? :)

I've been busy, with life and work and stuff. I also seem to be stuck in the mode of "Is this topic article-worthy or blog-worthy?", which has led me to do nothing. And I went away on vacation. We took the family to Disney World. Which isn't exactly relaxing. Fun, but exhausting. A few days ago, I passed the 160th day of daily running. Yes, I ran at Disney World. Crazy, I know.

A side note (well, really, this whole post is a side note, but whatever), it always amuses me to be at Disney World. Jan 08 and Jan 09, I was at Disney World for Lotusphere, which is a VERY different experience from when I was there Feb 06, Feb 08 and just a couple of weeks ago with my family. It is a strange feeling to be in the same place with such different scenarios.

Anyway, just wanted to give a quick update and say (commit) I will be posting something of value soon!
