NotesIn9 83: Using the XPages Dynamic View Control Part 2

In this show Paul Calhoun comes back on to continue where he left off in part 1 and shows us how to get the dynamic view control working with the layout control.

Before we get to Pauls demo, I also discuss a couple of things.  The first is a review of how to navigate the various NotesIn9 resources on the web – notesin9.com, index.notesin9.com, and cheatsheet.notesin9.com and the second is a little discussion on Scoped Variables and some best practices in my opinion.

Keeping Calm and XPaging On.

Ok. Enoughs enough… time to get this show back on the road! In case you missed it I’m trying to do this NotesIn9: Drive to 99 event where I want to get to 99 shows by December 9th. With the help of many generous contributors I’m currently up to 81.

I had a little break as I went on vacation for a week and then kinda lost the last couple of days because of some distractions.

It’s time to get back on the highway. Expect NotesIn9 to start imminently. Hopefully even tomorrow.

I have 2 great new contributors lined up that I’m super excited about. 1 is 2 years in the making. Yep – he’s a really tough negotiator. 🙂 I even have some of my own stuff that I’m trying to dust off and get ready and also have another great show from Paul Calhoun coming.

P.S.

How was the vacation?  I went to Disney’s Vero Beach and got to swim with the sharks.  No – it wasn’t an attraction.  Heck there wasn’t even a charge to do it.

Making lemonade for life.

Here’s a post that Becky, my wife made on a Facebook page. Just wanted to share…

===
Ok. So when last we met I shared a sip from my font of knowledge titled The Jar and the Suitcase. Today I shall discuss lemonade.

Last night as many of you know, my hubby and I attempted to go to a Halloween party in Disney. The culmination of an awesome anniversary week together.

This event has its own admission, parades, fireworks, trick or treating, characters etc.

Shortly after we arrived, without much warning, the skies opened up. And I’m not talking the little passing Florida rain. Thunder, lightning (it goes sideways?!?!?) and horizontal rain. Before we knew it we were up to our ankles (literally) I half expected a gator with a Mickey hat to float by.

So we had 2 choices. Slog ourselves home in a disappointed defeated heap. Or, find some ponchos and push on.

So, ponchos it was.

As we are sloshing around avoiding lightning and pissy people, we discovered a line formed at the front of the park. This line would rival and Space Mountain line in the middle of July. It was so long, the created a queue for it with ropes and barriers.

What was it for? For people demanding a refund for the weather.

A refund, we were informed, they weren’t going to get (you know, small print and all)

We laughed. And proceeded to ride all of the rides that were wide open because of all the Grumpy’s (and I don’t mean the dwarf) in line because it rained in Florida.

My point? Yes God may give you lemons. But unless YOU bring the water and the sugar, your lemonade is gonna suck.

And for God’s sake, get a poncho and move on…..
