How I got started with Lotus Notes


Ummmmm... my initials are NTF.  I think the answer is: destiny.  (And no, I won't bore you with the real story.)

5 - Please bore me, I'ld like to know your story !

6 - @5 - I'll keep it short. While at New York University, I got a part time job as an office assistant for a small software consulting firm. This firm had just picked up on a new technology from Lotus called "Notes." It was at version 2.0. We used it for everything there. I got curious about how it worked, and indeed, about how all the software there worked. And since I worked in a small office with a bunch of really smart people, I was able to tinker and learn -- including one day accidentally erasing half the invoicing system because I ran a "filter" which I thought would simply help me identify a set of documents but instead overwrote their values.

Anyway, I climbed the learning curve pretty quickly, and within two years, I was not only consulting full time, but being assigned to the company's largest projects as a senior engineer.

You would know that company today as Relavis.

7 - Cool. Guess that explains why I got sucked into working on AS400/iSeries/System i: { Link }

8 - You don't know how close you came to being named after William Wallace instead of Nathan Hale.

9 - So does that mean Mr. NTF could actually have been Mr. WTF ? Emoticon
