WTF?IBM Lotus and Domino Server?

Technical tags: IBM, Domino, AIX, LotusScript, ODBC/JDBC, ADO, OLE DB,

Assume we are now in Jurassic period, the technologies above are in Cambrian period, developers who has less than 4 years experience probably never heard about any of the above terminologies... No choice, I was dealing with them during the passes few weeks, I met ODBC as soon as I graduated while I was development ASP website using VBScript, but it was soon replaced by ADO, and after half a year I started studying .NET so I used ADO.NET, nowadays we usually talk to Entity Framework which abstracts ADO.NET interfaces...

  • IDE crash

    Yes, it crashes without symptom, especially when I enabled debug, when crash happens, or windows running on the same process - "notes2.exe" crashes, it SUCKS!

  • Unstable execution environment

    I write a subroutine to insert a record into MySQL through ODBC, within half an hour I get error information (made no sense) printed at the bottom of Lotus Notes Designer, then I enabled LotusScript debugger and then it supernaturally passed!! It SUCKS MORE!!

  • Poor documentation and little resources online

I decided to use Vim as my all time text editor since 12 years ago, it completely changed my mind and my life, there were some times I felt like my typ...

BMW Convertible As My Beater Car

Life is too short to drive boring cars I bought a 2015 BMW X5 Dec last year, it has been half a year so far (with 2 months she stayed inside the garage for most of the time due to the pandemic), I am pretty satisfied with it, her condition is absolutely excellent, everything works, yes you see it correctly, after 5 years of its life, there was nothing broken, as BMW vehicle built in recent years, this is something not VERY easy. My plan is to keep it as long as possible before it turns into an endless money pit, and keeping her value as high as possible, one of the major reason I b...
