Cold and getting colder

It has been a week since I came back from Lotusphere and I already miss it. It is getting colder and colder here in Chicago. It is going to be down to -10F tonight with a wind chill of -30F. It happens ever year when I get back from Lotusphere, the temperature drops.

Thank you everyone for attending my Engage 2025 session, Visualizing your Domino Data using Open Source Tools. Though I was up against some formidable sessions, I was surprised to have close to 30 attendees in my session. As promised, here is the PowerPoint presentation and sample databases and code. I would like to thank Kris and Tom for an incredible event and for selecting my session for this year's event. They did a wonderful job in continuing the tradition of making Engage a premium event.   After Engage 2025, I spent a day visiting different sites in The Hague.  The walk to the beach was a bit longer than I was told!  https://phoragroup.com/files/Visualize_Your_Domino_Data_with_Open_Source_Tools.pdf https://phoragroup.com/files/engagedemo.zip

I got it work just one day before I had to fly to Brussels. Talking about cutting it close. I had to work on the presentation during the flight to Brussels which I completed the day before my session. I had all the equipment in my carry-on luggage so it would be safe. To my horror, I was required to check-in my luggage at the gate. Given how luggage is handled, I was expecting that all my hard work would be for not.

Creating Twitter Bootstrap Widgets - Part I - Anatomy of a Widget Creating Twitter Bootstrap Widgets - Part II - Let's Assemble Creating Twitter Bootstrap Widgets - Part IIIA - Using Dojo To Bring It Together This is two part of my five part series "Creating Twitter Bootstrap Widgets".   As I mentioned in part one of this series, Twitter Bootstrap widgets are built from a collection standard HTML elements, styled, and programmed to function as a single unit. The goal of this series is to teach you how to create a Bootstrap widget that utilizes the Bootstrap CSS and Dojo. The use of Dojo with Bootstrap is very limited with the exception of Kevin Armstrong who did an incredible job with his Dojo Bootstrap, http://dojobootstrap.com. Our example is a combo box that we are building to replace the standard Bootstrap combo box. In part one, we built a widget that looks like a combo box but did not have a drop down menu associated with it to allow the user to make a select...
