Preferred Collaboration SW…
During the last months I recognized that IBMs Lotus Domino has to fight more against competitors than the last years.
Especially against Sharepoint – it seems that almost every bigger company nearby switches currently from Notes/Domino to MS Sharepoint… and even the smaller one are checking their infrastructure now.

...bye, bye...
This day I’ve deleted my profile at last.fm.
Why I did this? Well – as I am not a citizen of one of the preferred countries of last.fm I otherwise would have to pay a fee of € 3,–/month.
And that’s definitly not what I’d liked to do.
So – sorry for them, no scrobbling of music data anymore from my clients… bye, bye last.fm…
There’s a really coooool technote on IBM’s Lotus Domino Support site:

Well – IBM layed off many people of their core staff the last 30days… so I hope for their customers prompted the red panic box with the above mentioned advise that Russ is still ‘property of IBM‘…
