Howdy, stranger!

I am using NI products for ages and spent a lot of money. When Apple launched their new SoC, Native Instruments' products weren't compatible for quite a while. My latest finding was that I wasn't able to use certain kits from so called expansion packs in Maschine anymore. Those are using a small special version of "Battery" internally and this kept on making problems though i [...] 

Remember my last post about Domino Designer just randomly removing JAR resources from the NSF? I first thought it was something with the ODP and Git but I was wrong. It turned out that you don't even have to work with an ODP or even Git to run into this problem. The real cause of this is still unclear, I add this to the various hiccups of Domino Designer that we all got used to. The solu [...] 

One thing I recently found out is that Domino Designer respects the .gitignore of your on-disk-project (ODP). In general it’s obviously helpful that this file is respected in your local repositories and with your favourite git client. I wasn’t aware though that Domino Designer also uses this file to decide whether or not to import a resource from the ODP into the NSF. Scenario [...] 

I am not a Windows guy but I have to use it. I am using it for example on my Apple Silicon MacBook Pro which demands for the Windows 11 ARM version (the one that Parallels Desktop provides). Unfortunately I never got the 23H2 update which delivered such nice things as tabs in Explorer and - more important for me - the old taskbar behaviour regarding tab grouping and labelling. I stumbled upo [...] 

I recently used mkdocs again, the lovely documentation framework which comes with several useful plugins, nice styling and built-in PDF and static website generation. Sometimes it is a bit tricky to get everything installed on your machine to make in running, such as Python 3 and several add-ons, so you may want to run it inside a container. Although there are several tutorials about setting up [...] 

This is something we experienced for quite a while with several versions of the Notes client on different systems: the Notes client randomly tries to access known servers in the environment (aka servers with a connection document in the names.nsf). I never understood the strategy behind the client trying to access a "server A" when this isn't even the mail server of the used locat [...]
