Land of Confusion (or Listen to Me Demonstrate My Ignorance)

Chris and Tim interview me about Xpages, talking about stuff -- some of which is accurate, some of which is completely wrong. The fun part is figuring out the difference. So for all the recent OCD readers here, the challenge is: identify where I'm talking out of an orifice other than my mouth!

Here's the Yellowcast!

1 - It's too bad you couldn't appear on the definitive XPages Taking Notes Episode 83 Podcast Emoticon

. Great job to you, Tim and Chris. Oh and BTW - you suck at bass guitar.

2 - @1 - No, but we trackback to it, and that's almost good enough.

(Besides, if I'd been on TakingNotes, I would have had to show up the other two guys!") Emoticon

5 - Hmm. The bit where someone says that LotusScript gets interpreted into Java on the server is certainly coming out of some nether region...

6 - @5 - Jo, could you clarify that? I was under the impression that when I type Lotusscript-style syntax into SSJS, it's NOT actually running as Lotusscript on the sever.

It would be interesting if it were. There'd be some deep voodoo going on there to marshal all that context together. And I'd wonder why stuff like NotesSession.getSessionToken(), which is straight out of the Java API, is surfaced in the "Lotusscript" version of SSJS.

7 - Well, you're not really typing LS style syntax. The only thing that resembles LS is that they have prefixed Notes in front of all of the Java class names. It really has nothing to do with LotusScript. 'sall.
