Miriam Patricia Freire Newberry was born at 15.30 CEDT (central European daylight time) on 9 July 2008 in Acal� De Henares outside of Madrid, Spain. She weighed in at 7 lbs 15 oz.

Mother: Rachel P Newberry de Freire and Father Jorge Freire are delighted to welcome her to their family.

Pat and I will be travelling to Spain on 21 July to begin the process of spoiling our grandaughter as well as visiting with Rachel and Jorge.

I will post pictures as I get them. I warned you!

A couple new friends added to my collection

Many of you know that, among the many loves of my life, beer, and more specifically good beer ranks pretty high up there. So this was a great weekend for me because it was almost all about beer, or Bier in the German tradition.

The first event was the 2008 Bockfest VIP Fund-raiser (postponed from late February due to snow) where they unveiled of the Rookwood Pottery and Christian Moerlein Brewery's second collaborative effort in Bier Stein making. This years offering depicts the legendary Emperor Frederick "Barbarossa" and a classic street scene from historic over-the-rhine neighborhood in Cincinnati.

The second event on Saturday was the Germania Society's fourth annual Stein Auction which is all about beer, steins and other brewery memorabilia. I have worked closely with George Hibbon to get the auction (which was also delayed due to the snow in February) to happen. The highlight of the auction was the sale of the first of the Barbarossa steins that had been donated to the auction. There also was an incredible wood carving from some unknown artist that had to be part of my collection.

Both are now part of my collection. See more pictures here

Addiction, not me, I don´t need any... what!

The Hand's on session is: Implementing AJAX and JSON in IBM Lotus Domino Applications. We are very pleased with this session and think it may be better than what we have done in past years.
My Jumpstart session is Introduction to IBM LotusScript

DNUG Presentation Report

Henry Newberry — Wed, 15 Nov 2006 16:55:56 +0200

As much as I woould like to keep Rachel and Jorge forever on the top of this blog, it is time to make a new report....

This week I attended the DNUG (Duetches Notes User Group) meetings in Kassel, Germany. It was enjoyable to meet with many friends from Germany and Europe as well as spend time with Bob Balaban and Kevin Cavanaugh from Lotus in the US.

I presented at the first breakout session on Tuesday, 14 November. The presentation was a re-work of the "How to make Domino Sites That Don't Look (and Act) Like Domino" that Scott and I have done several times. New techniques and examples were added.

The presentation materials are available here

The sample databases that are updated with the view examples taht work in both Firefox and IE are here
