Did That A-ha Moment Pass You By?

No matter your age, location, job status or religion you always have an opportunity.

Sometimes we do not see a light at the end of tunnel.

But it is really no different than trying to install a piece of software that is giving you a hard time and you just need that one little extra push or tweak to make it work.

Your life is the same.

While it's true, you regret the choices not selected, you always have time to make them.

Maybe not today or tomorrow, but this week, next weekend.

Your friends and family want to help you, no matter how weird an idea or plan, but you have to have one.

What if you don't have one? Not to worry, one will come to you.

Maybe you:
Have an application idea, there are people that can help you with it.
Want to write a book or play or movie, editors are standing by
Should spend more time with your kids, ask them what they want to do
Should also spend more time with your spouse or significant other, let them know

No matter what it is, you can do it.

Don't let anyone tell you otherwise.

Time Travel, Lotus Domino Style, Please Help

An urgent call from my partner in crime, Heather Hottenstein, whom many of you met at Lotusphere, for a problem which I am afraid to say we may not have an easy way out.

It seems a customer has inadvertently, inexplicably forwarded their server dates at the OS level by a few months. Those of you in the business know what's coming next.

Nothing works anymore, replications are off, clustering is off mail only shows up in the All Documents View, well you get the idea.

I have worked with this over the years and usually it is only a few databases.
The problem is someone did it late at night and yes, a bunch of server tasks ran and well, it's a mess.

IBM support replied with what I was afraid of, we need to recreate all the databases.

Now I know in the past we had created an agent to touch each file programmatically and then reset the replication history.

The problem is I can't find any references of mine for this, anyone have an agent or a pointer for Heather to follow in this endeavor, or are we SOL?
