Howdy, stranger!

Happy to see you here!

This site is dedicated to all HCL Digital Solutions (esp. HCL Notes/Domino and XPages), smart home solutions and stuff I may find worthy to write about.

Everything here is my own personal opinion and not necessarily associated with my employer. YMMV.

Quick Tip: Fixing a non-syncing iCloud

Wednesday, October 25, 2023 at 3:41 PM UTC
I experienced this several times now for months or even years, an iCloud not doing its job. This primarily is syncing your data over your devices. I use this heavily with the notes app or with anything related to HandOff (copy & paste within different devices). I was able to identify the processes that do not work properly, so now I am able to just kill them. No worries, they will restart i [...] 

Level-up for my home office work

Wednesday, October 11, 2023 at 12:31 AM UTC
It's Prime Day season and again Amazon supported another project I planned just about 10 days ago. Everything I ordered for that arrived earlier than it was originally scheduled - superb! I currently have a week off and planned to further improve my home office setup for this time - I was able to do it even earlier. Sitting 8 hours a day is not a good idea at all so I had this plan for a wh [...] 

Good Night!

Wednesday, September 27, 2023 at 9:08 PM UTC
I am an Apple Watch user for years - this device is awesome. The Ultra is even better but due to its size it is not very comfortable to wear at night, at least for me. I wanted to track my sleep. I did this once over a year ago with my S5. To sleep with the Ultra was not an option for me. Beyond the size it's also the OS which is not very co-operative here as you have to enable sleep tracki [...]

Stuff that works: Withings Body+ smart scale

Tuesday, September 5, 2023 at 9:32 PM UTC
I am late to the party using smart health gadgets. I am using Apple Health to track my health conditions for a while now, the Apple Watch almost constantly attached to my wrist. One of the metrics I didn't track was my weight. I've seen reviews of the device I want to introduce to you but I just recently grew extended interest for it. Since this device was discounted now on Amazon, I grabb [...] 

The end of an era

Friday, September 1, 2023 at 12:00 AM UTC
Today marks the end of an era and also a new beginning for me. After more than 8 years in the We4IT family, including the subsidiary Nintera for the past 17 months, I am starting my new (but old) job at MEKO-S who acquired Nintera. The whole team of Nintera joined the company and is adding the Notes/Domino knowhow as well as our managed services experiences to this brand. MEKO-S is lesser known [...]
