By this time all of you already know that IE7 and Firefox 2.0 were already released, but what I liked, or better said what I saw like a nice thing is that the Microsoft Internet Explorer team sent a cake to the guys at Mozilla for the release of Firefox 2.0

I haven’t tried any of them yet, just downloaded Firefox 2.0 and will try to install it in the upcoming days. IE7 may have to wait, although I don’t really use it too much I prefer to wait and see if it works with all products and sites, and see also how the support from other products/sites is progressing.

Remember when I mentioned iSociety? Well, I cannot log-in into my account since a couple of weeks ago. I already asked for my password to be sent to my email account and although it is the same I still get a “Log-in Failed” message.

Will see if that gets fixed soon.

As you already saw in Andy’s and Ed Brill’s weblogs, there’s a list of IBM Bloggers in the IBM Blogroll page.

The most exciting thing is that I’m in there near a lot of brilliant people. With some of them I’ve had little conversations in the internal IBM Blogosphere but now I’ll try to start building conversations here in the wild.

I’ll try to post more frequently in here.

Oh, yes, and as Alan says, the site is run via Domino!

Chris noticed that we added some new WRKDOMSVR options in 7.0.2 (it was added by someone in my team actually!), I’m glad he liked them. Pretty handy when troubleshooting a problem with a Domino server on the System i.

And yes, he’s correct about making sure not to use the WRKDOMSVR command because the installation may stop or not be successful. We documented that a long time ago but sometimes I have to still remember people to be sure no one is on the WRKDOMSVR command while installing a release of Domino.

Yesterday and today I have been getting an error from w.bloggar where it says that shdocvw.dll is not correctly registered, something like that.

Today I got a different message for the error where the error window is named “RainDrops ActivePack for Visual Basic http://www.activepack.cjb.net” and the message contents are:

339 Component ’shdocvw.dll’ or one of its dependencies not correctly registered: a file is missing or invalid rdActiveForm frmCodeLib::picSysBar_MouseMove

There are already 10 icons of w.bloggar in the system tray, and I rebooted the machine (T41 with XP SP2) minutes before. This isn’t looking good.

Looked worst when I went to the above URL and saw that Marcelo Leal Limaverde Cabral (the creator of w.bloggar) created the freeware “ActiveX Tools Pack for Visual Basic 6″ and uses it on w.bloggar. His web page opens a pop-up window that contain several iFrames where at leas one loads a not work safe page. Bad!

So, even when I’m using the w.bloggar that uses the Mozilla engine (or something like that, it uses ActiveX and Visual Basic, both of which I don’t like very much.

Because of all of the above and lack of response from the tool author I’m definitely going to take a look to other options. Oh yes!
