IdoCheckin benefits - SMS cheatsheet (or use the web) for LotusphereToday
Many have asked, ok what can I do besides check myself into an IdoCheckin checkpoint at Lotusphere.  What benefit does using a Checkpoint give me?  Let me start with the easy things.  If IBM approves the signs, checkpoints will be identified with the name of the checkpoint and the commands to always get help if you get stuck.  But I wanted you to understand some of the cool things you can do at any of the checkpoints (previous blog post listing checkpoints):
  • Where username - sending this command gets you the last checked in location for the person's name entered
  • Who place name - using this command gets you everyone currently checked into a specific place, like DolphinDining
  • Join username - This checks you in at the same place as someone else, let the gathering begin
  • Leave - this is what it says, you are leaving the checked in place
  • ! - this lets you post a comment or note to the place you are checked in
  • POSTPHOTO - you can upload a photo from your phone for that place

Without going through them all I wanted to get the key ones out there.  For the complete listing or SMS based ones (you can always use the web people!), just visit this reference page.

It might just be me but I like new icons, except when they are fuzzy

Password reset in 8.5Today
Don't like talking to your users and want them to reset passwords?  We like self service

Don’t forget to go get your 8.5 server fixes tooYesterday
While in a small conversation this morning, it was brought up that there were fixes available for 8.5 already on Fix Central.  I was stunned, could it be true?  Yep!  There is an Adminp rename and delete issue that needs an IF fix for all platforms it appears

IdoCheckin - checkpoints for Lotusphere2009Yesterday
Since this is the first year, we built checkpoints for all of the main areas around Lotusphere.  If something is missing I apologize and might be able to get one or two more done, if the need is there.  But here is the list:
  • BigRiverGrille
  • DolphinBar
  • DolphinDining
  • DolphinHemispheres
  • DolphinRotund
  • ESPNOrlando
  • FlyingFishCafe
  • JellyRollsDisney
  • LSVendorFloor
  • Spoodles
  • SwanEntrance
  • SwanKimonos
  • Y&BConferenceCenter
  • Y&BLobby

I tried to keep them all as one word for consistency.  I am working with Lotus to get signs placed around Lotusphere, but I bet the bars/restaurants will be off limits for signage.

Look for a bunch of commands you can use in the next posting.  Such as the ability to look someone up and get their last location they checked in
