Having problems logging into ON24.com's service?

I've tried several times to log into the ON24's website to look at what podcasts are available for download and had not had any luck. Here's a hint. If your password has letters, use upper-case. That got me in.
If you went to Lotusphere2008 and you hadn't seen the email that was sent out today, IBM will make available the PDF's and MP3's of the sessions via a website link included in the email. It requires you to use your LS08.net login credentials and the site will stay active until the end of June.
Happy downloading!

A podcast and a Pearl bug

First off, if you have been living under a rock for the past year and you have not yet taken a listen to the "Taking Notes podcast" , now is the time to check it out! This week, Bruce Elgort and Julian Robichaux interview Mike Rhodin. That's right. The big cheese, head honcho, main man of Workplace, Portal and Collaboration Software at IBM. In other words, the man behind Lotus Notes and its future. It's a great primer as we enter the Lotusphere season.

Also found out something today about a bug between the BlackBerry Pearl and Lotus Notes. It seems that the unread message count on the Pearl is easily confused by the amount of messages that had been sent by the Notes desktop client. I had a person call me to say that they had only 10 messages in their BlackBerry inbox, all read, but the indicator was saying that there were 7 unread message. I called BlackBerry support and they informed me that there is a bug on the Pearl and the cell vendors are testing the fix now. Hopefully that will be fixed soon. But that's the great thing I have found about dealing with RIM. When there is a problem, they are on top of it and fix it quick, unlike other mobile vendors out there.

Well, that's it for now, Smallville is starting ;-)
